The rules that they show for a low caste child not to be allowed to sit as a represantive of the goddess is very true . It does happen all over rural India , and on a subtle level , still in urban areas .
The thinking of the Laali Maasi prototype was also very realistic and true . That too happens. For all the tremendous fantastic nonsense they show in SP , it is commendable that SP comes up with hard core realistic social issues that educated people refuse to acknowledge or talk about .
But where SP has significantly failed upto this point is to show how to tackle these issues . The character of Kaveri has gone free for any amount of atrocities she has committed . Saloni has constantly refused to fight her and looked the other way simply coz she is her brother's wife .
But will her treatment of Nikita or Sawri finally make her take a stand against Kaveri ? This battle as a viewer i wud love to watch . The fact that relationship status makes a person immune to being punished however villanous he is is simply unacceptable to me as a viewer .
Sawri being finally discovered to be a high caste Rajput child is not the answer to this and wont be the ultimate slap on Kaveri's face . She has to learn a lesson of her life and it shud be delivered by Saloni who shud finally lose all sympathy for her .
