I know it is difficult to be sympathetic with Maya after the fake rape event, but I was just thinking that how many children grew up to be psychopathic murderers all thanks to their traumatic childhood.

So here is a hypothetical situation, an exercise in retrospect, what would happen if it was Sanjh born to Ashwin and Jhanvi's house? Would she also live the same life as Maya did? Would she also make the same decision as Maya did?

No. Saanjh wouldn't be like maya. Not everybody who goes through torture starts torturing others. Infact they understand and become more nice. They understand people s pain more then others. Maya is actually bad selfish human. She doesn't have human qualities. She derives pleasure in giving pain.

... I feel she would be another Maya. Every person has both goodness n badness within them n its parent's duty to encourage the good side to come up. Even after that if the child takes the wrong path.. then all fault of child. But in Maya's case...Maya has been made like this rather than born this way. N cvs are trying to shw us both the aspects.. Maya as evil n Maya as sick too. The convo which she had with Jhanvi was completely right. Jhanvi failed as a mother wanting that inhuman husband who turned out to be inhuman father. Father was cruel n mother weak n child... all know what she has bcom!
But even @tanvismile's point is right. Sometimes surroundings dont influence some children or ppl. Some ppl come out of it n infact bcome better humans... sadly not in case of Maya.

PS. Not justifying anybody here!

Environment vs Gene. The thing about Maya is not only the did she have an awful childhood that you can use as an reason to why she is the way she is, but she has the genes of Jhanvi and Ashwin and you see both of them in her. And I remember reading an article about that your genes might affect your personality more then the environment. Her childhood might have pushed her over the edge, but she definitely had alot of it in her genes. As you can see in Saanjh is alot like her parents, just a little bit more naive then them, but then again she is young and hasn't had the experience that her parents have had. But after what happened she might not be as naive as she has been.
If she had been the child of Jhanvi and Ashwin she might have been like Maya because she would have there genes and an childhood that would have made her same as Maya is. That's my theory.

Human psychology is very complex but thankfully i have done enough years of basic studying into it to know the answer to this. Everybody has a different mental capacity to tolerate pain and trauma. Some are able to reflect on their own trauma to understand that what happened to them was wrong, and that nobody should go through what they did, and so they should never afflict anybody else with the same pain they went though. This phenomenon is called resilience; the ability to cope and bounce back.

Then there is the second way that a person can be effected by extreme pain and trauma. Post traumatic stress disorder as well as other less serious mental health issues are involved here, as a person can be emotionally vulnerable in this state. However, this is not the extreme effects of trauma.

The third, and extreme effects is what we are seeing with maya. Here, trauma can really have a devastating impact on a person, and can cause a psychosis. It can distort the way a person feels and thinks. The way a person socialises. The way a person acts and reacts. In such a situation, an abused can often grow up to become the abuser. This especially applies to early childhood trauma, as children learn through observation. This is why they say that the abused can grow up to become an abuser, because their view of relationships is so distorted, that they start to believe that what happened to them is a completely normal way of behaviour.

In maya's case, taking her mother, jhanvi into account, there is the strong possibility that it is not just nurture (environmental factors), but rather, also nature (biological, genetic factors) that can explain why maya's childhood experiences made her this way. It seems quite clear that like her mother, even maya does not have the mental capacity to withstand trauma, or be resilient. Like I explained, everybody is effected differently by trauma.

Forget Maya and Saanjh
I have seen people with abused childhood grew up as better and mature people.

People who are mentally ill are more sympathetic and understanding.

Crime shouldn't have any excuse.

I don't get it. If the person is more sympathetic and understanding then why are you even calling that person mentally ill!

I am not interested in how Saanjh would have been had she got Ashwin and Jhanvi as parents.
But usually children born to dysfunctional parents grow up with a lot of issues. Maybe they don't all go murdering people but they are usually very difficult to handle.

Simple enough. If saanjh was born to dysfunctional parents, as jahnvi and aswin, we would maybe see her doing the same things as maya given having the same genes and surroundings. But the only difference being then nobody would have supported her unlike the majority who support maya right now.

Most likely, she would be very different from how Maya is now. There are many people who have abusive parents, but they don't turn into serial killers.
