The Adarsh V/s Swadheenta debate 😆
There has been a lot of discussion these last few days about Adarsh's shortcoming's. He has failed as a husband, clearly (Pun intended. People who know me know that I am never against Adarsh), he had forgotten all promises made, he has no faith and trust in his wife and her judgement, he has not accepted his wife's family as his own. He is blinded by his family and the system and cannot see a proof even if it is gifted to him on a platter.
Similarly, there have been a lot of praises for Swadheenta's actions. She is fighting for her brother and maamu against all odds, she is trying to be a good wife too, she is finding all evidence on her own, she is so smart in connecting the dots, she is balancing all her roles.
The debate
It is my contention that by accepting Paddy's word of Manohar's involvement in the money laundering issue, Swadheenta acted just as Adarsh did when he heard about the Jilani's. He did not question the evidence. Now Swadheenta is not questioning Paddy's evidence.
The questions
1. What makes Swadheenta right now, and Adarsh wrong when he accepted the evidence against the Jilani's at face value? She is doing the same thing now.
2. Why is Swadheenta not wrong in questioning Manohar's morality?
3. Is she being a good wife and a good bahu by questioning her father-in-law's integrity based on some evidence that a reporter is providing?
4. If it was expected of Adarsh to accept and think on Swadheenta's lines, then why is it wrong to expect Swadheenta to see Adarsh's POV and drop the case?
5. If Adarsh is blinded by the system and the false evidence presented to him, why is it right for Swadheenta to be blinded by her emotions, intuition and gut?
6. If Swadheenta is acting on evidence now, so was Adarsh
If she is right in doing all this, why is Adarsh wrong? He questioned Jilani's morality and accepted them as wrong based on evidence against them.
The rules
Please analyze the situation and your justification based on what the characters know as information at this point. Not as an audience who certainly knows more than the characters!
So, in your opinion, who is right and who is wrong? And if someone if wrong, why are they wrong?
PS - This is just a healthy debate thread where anyone interested can share an option with justification.
