TOI - Synopsis for the week 21 Dec. - DTN Pg 3

After Akheraj arrest nothing has changed except that Nandini's troubles from Akheraj Kundan and Harki have come to an end and now she is being subjected to another kind of abuse along with she is also getting a taste of what life should be like by living with Anandi.

Mangala is a prisoner of her own fears and insecurities. Akheraj may have been locked inside but the seeds which he has sown are bearing fruits through his son's actions and wife's nurturing.

When Mangala's soch is so arachaic how is she expected to work for betterment of Jhalra? She doesn't think women and men are equals she doesn't believe in girl's education.She has no interests in changing her beliefs and practices.She lives in darkness and refuses to embrace the new world.She doesn't blink before advocating child marriage as a solution.She had no issues when Kundan's marriage is settled with Urmi. This woman who has no social conscience at all is expected to work for betternent of society?

Anandi's daughter is buried deeply inside Nimboli who is a product of Mangala's great upbringing and worse she shares the same beliefs as Mangala.

Mangala also believes in the same traditions and practices that Harki Akheraj believe.She is indifferent towards education child marriages she too like Harki believes that womens' status in society and home is lower to that of men. What improvement will she bring in to Jhalra?

More than letting go of the child she needs to let go of those beliefs.

Let her change herself first before she goes on to change the village of Jhalra.

Did Akheraj's arrest change Kundan and Harki's behaviour towards Kamili? No.Only difference is that Kamili is empowered by the trust her husband and his deceased parents placed in her.

People kept saying that it is Akheraj who is responsible for the plight of the women in that Jhalra family but is he solely responsible for that?

Why did their lives not change when Akheraj is away? It is simply because they are victims of their own beliefs and traditions along with being victims of Akheraj.

Looks like Anandi is not so insecure about her place in her daughter's life that she would not give her daughter space to breathe.

She had to chose between going to Jhalra to attend the godh bharai and staying back to look after Shivam and she was quite comfortable at the thought of her daughter having good time with Jhalra wasis.

Looks like she decided to head Jhalra only when she got to know that there is a possibility of her daughter in danger.

Mangala wanted to kill the girl inch by inch by torturing her emotionally, while akhi and kundan wanted to kill her immediately. Nandini's life is danger with these jhalra ppl around. Anandi, please open your eyes and save your daughter.

Situation at Jhalra improved after Akhera - Kundan and Harki can also be sent to jail for their crimes. It is BV creative who want to involve Anandi and her lecture - otherwise what can Anandi do that J and Mangala had not done? A convict breaking from jail cannot be permanent - and he cannot live in his own home/village after breaking jail. It is another matter that BV will show too much illogical things just to make an attempt to show something for their stagnant lead.

Instead of taking Anandi a few notches up than Mangala - they took M to the hell and perhaps they might have seen how forum can discuss negativity to no end - and the end result is the lame track. Anandi is prisoner of her own fears - she does not have an iota of remorse for what she did for this girl - and the DS and well wishers are treating Nimboli like some experiment - why ask her tormenting questions? Why not tell the truth straight away? And to compound it all - a rude brat Shivam - how Anandi raised such a rude child? He is selfish like Anandi - but at least Anandi was never rude like him - neither Shiv was.
