The women of MAM

even some small towns are way progressed...for example, in Goa...women are not as pressurized as this...they are allowed freedom to work, choose their own profession...

infact 20-30 years ago, women in Goa were very liberated...infact i think, its very common, in the south part of the country...right from Maharashtra-Goa to states of the south...where women have more freedom, as compared to the northern states

Its quite a debatable thing as to which part or state of india is more progressive but again you ve to consider that south is not just the cities like mumbai bangalore etc . Its a very generalized thing saying that small towns are progressive . Sure they are probably in clothes technology education but not so much in thought process .

I wholeheartedly agree that they really screw up some characters to add in drama but yes i do agree with the TM that there portrayal if women such as probably kaushalya initially and some situations where they treat women in certain ways is very real.

Also goa is terrotorially small but its a major tourist attraction and coupled with its history its a very liberated state again in the sense of say clothes and habits . Saying a place is liberated would have to be done by judging peoples mentalities which is changing but its still quite stagnant often despite them living in metropolitan areas.

I had done an internship in rajasthan and it was a rude shock to see the state of things there and what was more surprising that the women thought that was absolutely normal .so if you ask them something like isnt that a problem they ll probably say why would it be one . Its when I realized that growing up in delhi i just naturally thought the rest of the country is just the same but it's not .

There are so many small things dowry , many states even in south do not allow jeans in universities , these are all just curbing women which we can see and it becomes a news . In everyday life there are more things . I dont therefore think they are exaggerating some things but definitely they messed up some characters and showed some really annoying tracks for drama and trps .
