I am sorry this is kind of victim blaming. That a person instigated so that person deserves to be stabbed. Coming to the actual incident. Shiv instigated Archana. Yes. But Archana is herself an extreme instigator herself. She herself plans to provoke and instigate people to extreme levels. Shiv didn’t even go that levels and she lost her cool. So ya Archana is at fault. She can dish it but not take it.
Not everything is victim blaming. That's a whole different ball game altogether.
I used a metaphor. Nowhere had I said the stabber is correct either.
Let me use another scenario, If someone gets on a busy road in front of running vehicle what will happen? The driver will definitely get charged but does that mean that who deliberately came in front of the vehicle is innocent?
Archana is 100% wrong but so is Shiv for provoking. And Archana is rightfully evicted. However, it's not an essential rule that in a matter one will be right and one will be wrong, both can be wrong just like this case.
Specially when this wasn't his matter to begin with.
