The concept is ancient ......undoubtedly . We come across it in many holy books too . Generations pay for sins of their forefathers .
But even there , it is not condoned . Infact , it is criticized very sharply in the scriptures even . Making innocents pay for the actual karma of sumone else is simply not right .........even morally . In an ancient holy book ....the Guru Charitra [ a detailed life sketch of God as the eternal teacher in Hinduism ]......this concept of sins of the father has been discussed with great detail . There is a story of a brahmin who committed sucide as a woman defrauded him of some sum of money he had given to her with trust for safekeeping ......and thereby he suffred even in that life and also after death as sucide is a sin and one who commits sucide isnt set free but turns in a spirit . Such was the rage of the brahmins spirit that he haunted the woman even after she was reborn and she miscarried each time she was pregnant .
When finally the woman caught Gods feet to save her , the spirit has asked this question....
If you are really a fair god.....tell me if what she did was correct . This horrid spirit that i turned into is also coz she drove me to sucide . I know that ur fair and u cannot punish me .
And Shri Guru has replied .....True , but u ate her children . They had done nothing . She will do the rituals with her own expense amounting to the money she owed u and thus will set u free with her prayers but i order u to leave the children alone . If u dont , I will punish u myself .
And the spirit bowed and left .....recognising the fairness of God's justice .
This story , judy , touches me each time i read that holy book . What is just or unjust isnt really for us to decide ......only God or that super power or our Karmic law decides that [ if one is an atheist ] .
Speaking of this serial ......Kalika's revenge is so mindless , so senseless , that it doesnt even have the justification that the spirit in this story had . If she wanted to destroy Narpat .....he was already destroyed by the time of her marraige . His family had thrown him out and accepted her instead after a little initial struggle .
If the argument for her so called pain during childhood is given .....people like Ginni the prostitute have had far worser lives where perhaps they have endured even child rape in such a profession yet they dont hold innocents res[ponsible for their fate .
And i can even understand her insanity in wanting to destroy or create chaos in Narpats family . But she tried to destroy the Singhs too .....they r not remotely connected with her tragedy .Brijesh Nahar tara < kakasa r not at all connected by blood to Narpat .
And lastly the innocent children . Drugging a unborn baby...endangering Advitya , giving up a premature baby to a couple where the baby may die of malnutrition......is heinous .
Nothing Nothing can justify it .
and the most horrible part is she will repent when Shyama tells her that Narpat is not the father . That shud not be the cause for her repentance . Even if Gaj is the father .....going after Kunjan or Padma isnt the answer to her revenge . They too r innocents .
So u see her repentance will be the most horrible part of all.......as mindless as her revenge .
