There you Go...It all comes down to the 'Girl Child'

I have been away from the forum, too much to do...but could not stay away from posting this one.

Eventually...it's all about the Girl Child...

I have mentioned in my comments on various posts and my post on this topic. Knew it was the crux of the problem in this dynasty's Game of Thrones!

Why Satrupa gave away her baby girl instead of Vatsalya. Did she fear for her girl child's life? Why Vikram Singh is not ready to accept Anami though Gayatri has told him to give the thought a chance. Why Baldev is flinging accusations and being rude towards Anami? He too is a chip of the old block, I'd say. After all, sons learn from their fathers. And then again, with Vatsalya gone, Vikram Singh readily accepts Avdoot though not a direct descendant.

Love how the show has brought about this aspect of society in the most subtle way. Not one dialogue spoken between anyone whatsoever indicated anything about Girl Child, until yesterday's episode. But it was there all along.

And this is a fact even today in our society. No one openly acknowledges this discrimination. It's an unspoken word. It exists in our acts and behavior towards our girls. In our homes, work places, our traditions, our inheritance rules, society at large... anywhere and everywhere. It's a patriarchal society. And more so when huge business dynasties undergo takeovers etc, there is a desire for a son. The daughter is never considered worthy enough of the Crown.

I am beginning to believe Vikram Singh might have got the first pair of twins (since they were girls) killed. We know there are some deep dark secrets. Have you noticed how Gayatri has blossomed suddenly? Even when Vatsalya was alive (he might still be I hope) she just stood around Vikram without uttering a word. But with Anami there seems to be a different kind of bonding. It's as if she is reliving her motherhood days. Gayatri has even gone against her husband. Baldev adores Vatsalya, but pure indifference towards Narottam. Not even in the pretext of protecting him from the atrocities of his family members, has Baldev acknowledged Narottam.

Only Satrupa holds some sort of power in this household and I believe that is only because Vikram Singh could not rely on his own son Baldev to carry the legacy forward. Also she is royalty herself.

She manages to keep a tight rein on the business, despite the family wolves (Pujan & gang, investors). She is shrewd, she is ruthless if she has to and she has proven to be a great mother to Vatsalya. Satrupa is strong and exudes much authority like no one else. Also lets not forget, after all she gave the Singh's family their heir Vatsalya.

But now it's quite obvious...Anami's existence itself has literally shaken the Labyrinth. Anami being a girl changes the dynamics for all. From Vikram to Baldev, Pujan and the rest...

Your thoughts please...

Very well written!
Yes, its now out in open. The unsaid has been said.
It's all about girl being the heir.

We can clearly say, this is the case with Vikramaditya's unacceptance of Anami, as he was ready to accept Avdhoot as heir even though he was not from his lineage. It surprises me that, someone, who once trusted Satrupa to an extent of handing her whole business, is now so mistrusting towards her, that he is not even ready to listen to her.

But what about Baldev? I don't think gender is the issue with Baldev. With him it is about Satrupa's betrayal. About keeping him in dark about him own daughter.

What shall we think of Satrupa who herself chose to keep the boy, letting the girl go.
I have written today in many of my posts, that what shall we make of Satrupa, who made the choice of the son to keep, and sent the girl away. She has been as biased as the others are.

As for Pujan, it doesn't matter, if it's a girl or a boy. Only thing which matters to him is taking over of Royal steel and LM through Avdhoot as a pawn.

that dialogue...hmmm...see Baldev knows Anami considers Baap being only Pandit Pathak...so this insult would have been directed towards her loving father...

Safeguarding Narottam from his people is his duty. Never mind if he is not civil to him. So...

That is what is strange...giving up the girl. Firstly she did not give up Anami happily but it did break her heart to do so. Could be my guess to protect her. That too Damo chose a wise, honest and good man/family to adopt the child, nut just left her in a bin or something. Which could have been the case if she did not want to do anything with the girl child. Not on Satrupa's side...but only trying to fiure why did she do it. Has to be a strong and valid reason.

Hope you dont have to eat your words and I am proven wrong...šŸ˜†.Better still if its Pujan. But I feel Pujan is a Joker. He is shown to be the most dangerous...but his own plans fail him.

The real evil is either Sudha or Vikram (now with Adhiraj's Dad in the picture) something eerie is there about Vikram Singh.

I also think Satrupa being given an upper-hand was because she gave birth to the male heir... like she was given the reign till Vatsalya comes of age.

Beautiful post!

I admire Satrupa for bluntly confronting Vikram with that fact. Although she's as much to blame for giving away the girl, I'm attributing it to her youth and perhaps some knowledge of how the child would have been received.

Gayatri did mention she suspected Satrupa was going to have twins. Guruji also had a huge role in advising Satrupa to give away one of the babies for their own safety and she chose to keep the boy. Do we say Anami was destined to return? Did Vikram influence guruji in any way?

I've been intrigued about this choice driven by patriarchal standards ever since I caught the promos.

Awesome post, DD!
I don't think ... and I HOPE NOT ... that Vikram had anything to do with the death of his granddaughters. But yes ... the fact that Anami is a girl is definitely coloring his vision and judgement about accepting her as his grandchild and heir. he prefers the idiot Avdhoot to the admittedly uncultured Anami ... uncultured as in how different she is from the sophisticated regal Singh khandaan.

Baldev ... I think it's more to do with the fact that he was kept in the dark by Satrupa ... a wife with whom he has anyway a number of marital issues. This is another one ... and a huge one ... being kept in the dark about the existence of his own child for so many years. It's a pity Tom Alter is so ill, so we cannot find out how big a role Guruji had to play in Satrupa giving away Anami, and keeping the rest of the family in the dark about it.


My biggest issue is why did Satrupa give Anami away? Was it because she was the girl, and Satrupa wanted to keep the boy with her? Did it cement her own positin in the family? Many times women are mistreated if they have only daughters, and their position changes if they have sons. If that was the case, then Satrupa was being hypocritical in talking about Vikram accepting a girl as heir, if she herself kept her son over her daughter.

I hope we get a clarification for Satrupa's reasons at some point in the story ... that part fascinates e ... also because Satrupa herself is such a strong woman, and has apparently been taking care of the business for so many years. Also, if her position was cemented in the family after Baldev was disinherited, did she never think of getting her daughter back?
