Again, what I'm saying is not about what was normal back then and what isn't normal now. I am talking about two things - 1. our mindset to accept and actually say it is okay for this man to be attracted to this child preleap. It is wrong and shouldn't be romanticized.
2. Especially this is more so wrong for a character like Anirudh, every action of this man shows that he is not realistically possible in human standards.
I know what social conditioning is. I understand how biology, history, psychology all impact our understanding and view of life and world. In another 100 years, maybe they will normalize children being adults but that does not mean I will consider it right thing to be done, I will never accept it no matter what logic or science backs it up.
All the impulses, all the conditioning, all the history you cite does not apply to this man because he this character who has always stood against these things and never showed an inclination to even entertain these thoughts.
If you took some other person or a character randomly and said all this, I would have understood these reasoning but how can anyone think that about Anirudh? Animalistic impulses kya hai usme? When has he ever showed an inclination of physical, normally induced biological attraction towards Bondita? Even now, post leap, he has yet to touch her in that manner.
Fiction can show you a lot of things, Greek Mythology is a prime example of how love of any form can be accepted by humans. Fiction can make you accept anything as right because there is no boundaries or lines that cannot be crossed when you enter the fictional realm but it again, depends on us to take the right interpretation and message to spread to others. Just because 100 years ago Shakespeare wrote that a 14 year old girl fell in love one day and gave up her life for him does not mean I consider it to be right, romantic hoga, epic hoga, sab hoga but it will never be right. That is not the message you want to share with others. That is not something you want to normalize.
But, even at this point, I cannot compare Anirudh to some Shakespeare's hero because they are not the same, they weren't written with the same mindset or they do not have the same essence. They are as different as white and black.
Look at Anirudh, look at his every action and behavior, look at what Pravisht speaks about him, consider everything and then tell me, it is possible for this man to have entertained the thoughts of physical attraction towards this child.
If you still say yes, then I don't think our entire discussion will go any further because that's nether the interpretation nor the message I will ever share 😆
