Yes you are right, some people love dictator.This is bcoz when they are ot capable on their own, they like tl be guided, provided and and follow daily routine. For that they are ready to bow down. And in the case of kaushalya she was abused, tortured and provrammed that dadi is tough, capable and fulfilling her responsibilities.That is the reason despite all horror pain suffering still she has surrendered to dadi.
Yes dadi has fulfilled her responsibilities, but that does not mean she can abuse tortur humiliat and give their earning to other.
Finally Ria came to the scene and she did not like this very unhealthy approach. She knew there are more ways, better way, healthy way and living the life in full. But dadi could not agree on this. But Ria who is solution oriented person, tried to emphasise there is no problem that can not be solved, so there is no need to go through this measurable way. And conflict started and finally today dictatorship is down.
