No one questions Anandi when she puts her daughter at risk. First in childhood and now recently while rescuing Ganga. Plus all other times when Nimboli jumped to save chakor or was drowning in well. In all these times, Anandi is simply excused citing situation / need of the hour.
But Mangala is not only expected to save, raise and protect the child but also to bridge the gap. Why on earth would anyone do all that a mother does for a child and still be tagged as 'selfish' while someone who is actually supposed to do her motherly duties, fails to do so but is rather perceived as Selfless, helpless and sacrificing?
It would be better if someone like Mangala was in Anandi's place. She wouldn't have been careless enough to lose her daughter. And had she lost her, she wouldn't have sat for 11 years waiting for someone to bring her daughter on a platter or fail to make her daughter her own.
Mangala's methods may be wrong but she is far more protective as a mother. Anandi just behaves like a wealthy aunt with both her kids i.e. spoil them with luxuries but never try to understand them.
