If people think that Mangala is great because she tries to keep that little gir out of trouble. They are free to do so.
Yes I do think that Mangla is a good woman if not great because of her attempts to save that little girl from the likes of AKhiraj, Harki and Kundan. And I am free to do that.
If people feel that Mangala's feelings for that little girl are not altruistic and not all selfless as it is being made out they are free to do so.But for interpreting this character this way they need not be labelled as bashers of Mangala.
When ever a discussion is initiated about the women Vs Akheraj why only this point brought in defence of Mangala?
Why in a discussions W Vs A Mangla needs to be defended? Is she supporting Akhiraj or making other women of his house suffer?
When a neutral discussion to discuss about coping mechanisms in the world of Akheraj and the women are solely assessed on their methods and approaches why is only this thing brought constantly?
Because their coping mechanism can not be discussed in isolation without considering their characters and their traits which are visible when we see their behavior with other ppl of their house like Nandini, Kamli ,Kundan and even Urmi.
Why no discussion about Mangala's short comings allowed? Why is it always diverted to her protectiveness towards that girl?
There is no dearth of discussions of Mangla's short comings . But why ppl can not go beyond her short comings and refuses to see any good quality in her? Why there are attempts to turn her good qualities into bad ones?
She is not only protective for that girl but every other person who is suffering near by her. That is enough to show that she has some good qualities also .
Why should she be not assessed for the ways she adapts ?
If she is assessed for the methods she adopts than why Harki is defended for her methods ?
Nandini is criticised for throwing stones
Why Mangala cannot be criticised for putting up with that sleaze guy's attempts taunts from Harki and putting up with humiliations?
Why same criteria is not applied for Harki? Why she is digesting all the physical abuse and insults from Akhiraj? And in turn taking out her frustration on other innocents who are not able to stand up against her.
Mangla at least does not do that .
Why Mangala cannot be criticised for not moving out of Akheraj house? Why she cannot be criticised for not using that knife against Akheraj?
Because she has devised a more effective method to keep him at bay. And who knows she might have used that knife against Akhiraj in the past.That is why she knows its usefulness and has given it to Nandini.
Why she cannot be criticised for not using that knife as a weapon to protect herself in the big bad world while making a life for herself?
Because a knife can not save her if there are more than one man. In that respect Mangla and Nimboli are safe in that house as they have to fight only against one man at a time which is possible with the help of a knife.
Why the only answer that comes for all these questions is she saved that girl?
No it is not true , proper explanations are given for the respective questions in the past also. You can check other threads
.
Why can't she be criticised for the means she uses to save that girl?
She is using only means available to her. Would it have better if she has not used them and let Nandini suffer her fate at the hands of Akhiraj and Harki?
Btw it is also said that some times doing a good deed is more important than cribbing about not so fair means. Kanha ji himself adopted means which are not always fair to achieve his greater goals for mankind. Mangla toh is just a poor mortal only.
If Anandi's actions are tried to discuss or if anyone tries to see them in a different light they are labelled as blind fans of Anandi who are not capable of looking beyond the character
If people have a different take on Mangala they are called Mangala bashers
Anandi do have faults enough like Mangla but we overlook them because of her kind heart and good intentions. Even her methods are sometimes not beyond reproach but if one can explain hose why that one can not apply same liberal approach while discussing Mangla's methods and character? Anybody who is nice to that girl is good and anyone who is not nice to that girl is bad.Irrespective of their characters and the personalities as shown by the CVs.
I do not think a general viewer is able to find hidden grey traits in Mangla's character .
As for CVs except few initial scenes where they have shown her little bit of a psycho woman , I think they are not trying to project her as a grey woman by every day showing her doing something good. 😆
No I don't want to discuss any fan groups here.If you think I am some frenzied fan of one character and basher please feel free to do so.
I prefer to stay away from calling some one frenzied fan or anything of that kind so you please feel free to do what you like.
My answers are in red.
Of course Ppl are free to analyse, criticized and even bash Mangla according to their perception of her character. But why not same criteria is applied to Harki when judging her character?
Why her atrocities are defended and even approved as a way of coping with oppressor?
Why her way of coping ( that is to join hand with oppressor if you can not beat him) is better than those who are even more oppressed but still not shaking hand with their oppressor and trying to do good in which ever way available to them?
I can understand when one can find faults with Mangla but can not understand this underlying sympathy and defense of Harki and even Kundan . I have read that if a reformed Kundan will meet Nandini after another leap , they can marry if their reasons are right- A big no from my side.
Reformed or unreformed but I do not want kundan anywhere near Nandini in future specially as a marriage candidate. 🤢
In this big world there can be better candidates for her just like her father was for her mother.
