The last salute-Yash Bundela - Page 2

I will be honest Shruthi. I like this idea of yours of waiting till your mind is sorted before you post your analysis. I always react on impulses and post my thoughts, but more often then not, by the following morning, my thoughts are different.

I understand everything that you have said. I understand your POV. He was a proud army person, and his end was befitting to his character in that sense. But I am not sure I grant him the title of a martyr.

Last night my feelings about this were all over the place too. I felt bad for Yash. I was upset that he had killed himself. And the way he died was painful. You could see his regret at his actions, you could see his guilt, you could see his determination to end it all, at any cost. But I was a little "not-on-board" with his death being tagged that of a martyr. I thought it was more of him paying his dues.

The problem I have had these last couple of days is the easy way that everyone is having a change of heart. Like I said yesterday, everyone has a choice to make when they are faced with a moral conflict. If you knowingly choose the wrong path, you will have guilt., you will have anxiousness, you will have shame. But what does that mean? It means nothing unless you correct your actions. And you correct your actions by un-doing what you have done, or trying your best to undo and set right what ever you messed up. Making sure that the lives of the people that you messed up becomes better in some way.

For example, today, the minister has a change of heart and feels bad for everything he has done. He says, I am really sorry I messed up. I think this is the best way for me to pay and kills himself. What does that do? Should he be forgiven? Should he be liked because he accepted his fault? I am not so sure I agree.

I realize that the makers of the show wanted to give it a happy and positive ending. Putting everyone behind bars may not have been their idea of a happy ending. But happiness does not necessarily mean this either. If they had shown some kind of punishment for Jai, Manohar, Yash, that could have been a happy ending too. Don't put them behind bars, but do something else. As per law, ensure they do community service, cut their pay into 1/2, something. However small it is. And on moral grounds, at-least leave the story in a place where it is possible to imagine that they are walking the path of redemption.

This overnight change for me was a little difficult to digest to be honest.

Coming to Yash. Like I said, I felt bad for his death. In his last minute, he tried to perform his duty to protect his country. He said as much to Swadheenta. That he could not let a terrorist walk away, and he would not do it. But that was part of his job. Could he have done anything else to have Ifthikaar arrested? Yes. He had him caught, the remote from Ifthikaar's hand had been dropped. he could have easily had him arrested, and he could have worked the rest of his life trying to make it up with Swadheenta, Jilani's, Radhika for the mistake he committed in his jealousy. By killing himself, he chose the easy way. he knew that the walk of redemption would be a hard one, and he chose the easier way of dying.

So, to summarize

1. Yash did a good thing by not letting Ifthikaar go, even if it meant killing himself. But that was not the only way he could have resolved the situation. He chose the easy way. While I appreciate the fact that he tried to do the right thing in the end, I don't think he died the death of a martyr. He committed suicide.

2. Manohar's turn-around is the most disappointing for me. I cannot even understand it.

3. Jai has disappointed me a lot.

4. My respect for Suhasini has grown so much in the last few episodes. I simply love this woman.

5. Swadheenta, hats off. Salute, Respect

6. Adarsh, he did stand by her towards the end. He was human, he accepted his follies. Respect for him too. And of-course lots of love.

7. Relieved for Haider maamu and Zubaida maami

8. Loved Simmi

9 Missed Abhay, Asad and Ahuja

Yash Bundela undergoes a 360 degree change either it is Sasumma trying to awaken a sleeping conscience that led to this confession of sorts...or Radhika trying to enter a DEAL...absolve Asad and I am yours or the words of Swadeentha.
We see Yash referring to Swa as Freedom several times in the confession...He maybe has found in her persistence a liberation too. The way he framed Mammu and Asad by planting evidence was in my view an absolute misuse of power and trust. He definitely would have been court Marshalled and he chose the easy way out...awakened the soldier in him and bid a farewell to the world.
Asad and Radhika immature that they are flaunt their attraction denting the pride of the man in love. His parents state how he had won their consent by his ZIDD. Obviously he was used to having his way. Even in the end he has had his way as definitely had he been alive the law of the land would have pursued him.
He tells Adarsh and Swa they were selfish in hoping to get Arvind alive.His mind though is hatching the last of his plots.
He has lost his love...credibility...trust and honour as a soldier. He was responsible for the living death of several people for a month. Finally his conscienceled to the confession.

@justice I had told in my line. Yash died like a terrorist. A martyr don't die, death happens to them. On the night of 1st june neither Abhay nor Asad were planning to die. They were planning to make their city secure and then go for their siblings wedding. But they died in the process.

Yash chooses death as that is his only way to protect not only his honor, but the honor of his mother and the honor of the woman he loves. We have to look at him from that perspective. Yes what Priti tells can happen. But if he confess why he did what he did, what will he tell. He saw Radhika's stoll in Asad's home or his revenge on Asad because Radhika rejected him. And by dragging Radhika's name she becomes the talk of society and how will it affect her father who considers him his best commando. And his parents who are so proud of him. Especially his mother. Will she ever able to keep her head high irrespective of all the other achievements her son had.

He had a chance to life. He would have got the woman he loved if he had just decided to give Asad Jilani his due on 1st June. But what he had done not only his honor but honor of many connected with him were in trouble.

I would say by dying he gave Asad what he deserved, kept the honor of his guru, his love and his mother. Basically people who had trusted him. To deliver on that trust death was his only option.

If you remember I had told earlier also on jun 1st Abhay was in uniform , yash in civilian clothes. But when he gives the testimony in video he wears the uniform. Somewhere without that uniform yash forgot his duty and that cost him his life.
