May be true. But the way Ahilya goes about it makes her most irritating. Once she is in raj mahal she wants to go to durbar and air her ideas. No amount of bullying by Gautama has any effect on this kid. She is adamant and goes on and on. Making cute gestures does not mask the fact that she is adamant. She stayed that way.
Regarding studies she should have compared herself with her brothers . If she can make a turban for herself and do to other things a boy does why did not she insist on studying?
No excuse or explanation holds good for her adamant behaviour.
Also are all the ranis illiterate? Do they not need some education to handle their duties?
Over seeing repairs requires keeping accounts isn't it? I find it strange that they are against reading and writing. May be they are short of reading material and writing material. LOL
Harku even has a book. Prayer book but still a book. If she knows to read and write she can teach Ahilya.
In any case what is the big drama regarding education for women?
The real life Ahilya must have been a more responsible and mature character not like this kid who babbles on and on to the point of irritation.
No excuse or explanation is good enough for her sudden obsession with education.
Khanderao is useless. They way his character is painted. He is jealous of Ahilya and is afraid she will sit in the throne instead of him if she studies. Tch tch tch
If you want to stay ahead of Ahilya then make yourself better Sir. Don't push somebody down to make yourself higher.
Strange this guy is a musician. Ahilya is a no gooder she just talks and is trying to be champion of the underdog. that too in her age.
She has no appreciation of his music talent. In fact no one in the haveli is appreciating his talent.
They are no good and they don't appreciate anyone good. Ahilya is also that way. Just good for talking talking talking irritaitng the hell out of viewers.
When she says her Daadji says blah blah blah you feel like beating up her Daadji as well. Really.
Ahilya ... sudden obessions are no good.
Should have worked on your alphabets before marriage instead of cowhering or shepherding dear. Then it would have made more sense.
May be this is another explanation. She wants some kind of importance since she is being constantly put down by her mom in law. in the village nobody put her down at least not her parents and so she did not feel the need for educaiton. Just dada giri was enough then.Tch tch tch....
