I still don't understand - what should Mangala do? Just run? Where to? Is it even safe to run without any destination or help with a 12 years old girl?
Mangala can't even tell Nimboli (it not clear that she herself knows) that she was abducted - Nimboli will go and confront Akhera or even tell those women of village - leading to more trouble for Nimboli. Is it not enough that Mangala saved the girl's life and is always there for her - helping her with her limited means. Compare this with what Anandi did with the boy who saved Amol- just admitted him to some anath ashram and forgot all about him - is this what creatives want to show to inspire people?

Personally I would applaud anandi for her bravery for all that she did till date.

She took life in the best possible way since her childhood and that's the reason she's got all that she got and not because she had all that support(which didn't come to her in an easy way).

She adjusted and accepted her life as a full fledged maid+beendini keeping aside her enthusiasm to study. Thanks to DS's conditioning. But that flopped and her husband left her for city bred. Then too she took it positively and worked for the betterment of society. she could have taunted DS, she could have used all of their pity and simply gotten married and left, or she could have become a doctor and took revenge on her ex...or simply she could have put him in jail on taking her FIL's suggestion. she did nothing in negative spiral. So whatever support she got didn't come easily to her. And then about the sarpanch part-- It was real hard work. The village people were like Ghazinis. They would forget things in a split second and fall upon her and corner her while she had to continuously prove herself each time. Finally she became a sarpanch, not because she was haveli's beendini,...but because she put up with the villagers and didn't give up.


She was just so wonderful till she got married again. An inspiring character , I should say.

she was wrong only wrt Nandini...and how she had lost her. She lost her due to the mistake she did in her own vulnerable situation(she lost her husband just before that). With the level of understanding, I think Mangala too is in a vulnerable situation. She has her own reasons to do what she's doing. She does have courage to save herself...and save a nandini and is protecting nandini in her own ways which I appreciate. Expecting too much from magala is not yet fair. The directors are showing one character in reality. And we whine about what more could have been done.

Regarding Ganga - I don't think they changed this character drastically. she was right as long as she was a victim . She ran away which was probably the right thing to do too. But She always was selfish. Does not do what she preaches...and never minded breaking the family that gave her shelter for her own selfish reasons. Lots of situations that happened before leap sowed her nature. The only difference between now and then is -- Earlier the directors projected her in positive light(by making Sumitra feel sorry) , now they aren't doing that.


@bold - I also applaud Anandi for all the positive things she did. But then - she had all the support and help at her disposal. And we cannot forget that she is the lead - so the story will be fair to her at least. My post was not about finding fault with Anandi (or even Ganga and DS) - what I wanted to tell is - all those stories were like a fairy tale - a lot of things happened like magic in their story.

So, expectations like Mangala should run, she should do more for Nimboli and herself etc. are without practical reasoning. What should Mangala do and how she should fight Akhera? Even Anandi was subdued when it comes from family - even though Anandi had support of more than one family - here Mangala does not have even a single person. She is mostly confined to a room as widows of that society do. Suhagin women will not even want to be friend with her - it is harsh reality - even urban middle class is very biased. And fighting a dictator at home is not possible without outside support - or in case where all the family members unite against the tyrant. Even Anandi and Bhairo could not fight DS - DS changed when she wanted to - Anandi or Bhairo did not change her.

But if forum members tell what a woman in oppressive home environment do without any out side support or without any help from anybody - it would help me to understand something that somehow I could not understand so far. In turn - if I come across any woman in need - at least I could share the knowledge with her (the suggestions of forum member - when I was trying to convince my maid's mother not to marry her daughter till she turns 18 did help me).

Well , now that we are talking all about what more mangala could have done to a girl who is actually nothing to her, let us talk all about what Anandi could have done about her own missing daughter.

Anandi meets Nandini 3 times. The girl exactly is the age of her missing daughter. Anyone would feel curious. Why does Anandi not feel it? Each time she meets Nandini, something strange is revealed to her. And she does not suspect anything,Like some members mentioned earlier? She sees nandini on a tree at midnight...and simply leaves her at her home without meeting and warning the child's parents? Kamili mentions about Nandini's bal vivah...and still Anandi does not ask nandini those details? When she came to know that nandini is uneducated, how come she didn't ask her what else she does...?

To akhiraj, feeding nandini is itself a burden. why would he let her go to school ? It makes no sense for mangala to ask him, knowing he wouldn't agree to it. And believe me, if mangala had asked, it wouldn't prove anything. All that we'll say is " She could have done more..." You know, there's no end to "more..."

... kundan's friends are keeping a malicious eye on nimboli...sending school may put her in more of a danger???????/

Bad days look like a blessing in disguise as far as that girl is concerned.
In fact all the protection that she needed in that house came from the very same people who don't care for her

Mangala has seen and rightly guessed what Kundan is upto yet she never told Kundan's parents.
She gave a chaku to Nimboli/Nandini - but despite that chaku he made advances towards her.

Then Chagini saw him and she did the best thing - Complained to his parents about his behaviour.That changed things a lot.

Now his parents warned him and told him to stay away from her because they don't want any unwanted consequences - which actually had a protective effect on her. Even Nimboli uses this weapon and threatened to complain about him to his parents. That works like a magic because Kundan does't want to get into trouble with his parents

Then Kundan's friends made fun of Kundan about not being able to get his way with her. One friend's advice made Kundan change his tactics get near her that effectively slowed down Kundan.He will not jump on her because he knows he will not only will not get what he wants but he will get into a big trouble with his parents.

Now this Urmi is coming - she will not let her husband get any where near the girl.So the questioning of harming that girl won't arise.

This Urmi has been turned against her husband and his family will make things difficult for Kundan.If at all there is any danger it will be Kundan moving closer to Nimboli and getting attached to her which is a bigger danger than try to molest her

Looks like her life will be safer with the people who are out to protect their own interests like Urmi Harki and Akheraj and who knows may be Kundan too😛
