The apprehensions of RPS arent overnight issues... he hasnt arrived at that conclusion in a few days... it has been working on his mind for a long time now.. it has been a continue battle with the father in him before he could even share the apprehensions with his wife.
We still dont know what kind of 'Business' do they have... by the look of it surely isnt legal. They are not the Mafia kind of people either... they do seem to serve anyone who comes under their shelter seeking help... but from where do they get the money to finance such charity? Collections from the underworld?Whatever they do... has a lot of risk involved... not even to mention legal hassles... Their enemies are going to be very dangerous... they must be on the look out for one opportunity and there could be a coup.
Will Shankar be able to handle it? Probably, Yes.... The only thing that goes against him his temper... it is mad rage.... His gun talks. If he takes control of the business... he is going to make enemies by a dozen every single hour... how sure are we that he will safe... All they need is one clear shot... 30 secs and he is gone. His family will be exposed to danger like never before. If he makes enemies outside, it is fine... but what if he has enemies with in his gang? He is too naive to note a black sheep around him. It hardly will be difficult to get Shankar caught in a legal web and get him behind the bars.
People look upto RPS as a father figure, a guardian, a leader... When RPS makes a decision... it will have an impact on many lives... not just of his family and staff... but lot many people.... can Shankar become such a leader? Will he be able to make an informed decision...gauge the risk and insure the decision against it?
Will years of hardwork, numerous sacrifices by Shankar, Undeterred loyalty towards his dad and their cause be overlooked by RPS? I fear that the answer to that will be Yes, IF and when needed to make a choice.
Well, it is too early in the serial for us to say that Shankar can or cannot be the Waaris... but the yes, given whatever information that we have... if there are a few apprehensions ... then they arent unjustified. Shankar has a long way to go before he can take on the mantle from RPS.
