JP u have summarized Rads perfectly- her idea of "humility" is contradictory to the one we are taught in our sanskar. It is truly pathetic and to call herself Meera- she needs to be sued!Originally posted by: jpalagrawal
Dee, I am starting to believe that the real lessons of this show are that you get in life what you put out
Rad has taught people to treat her as a nothing. That is what she gets wherever she goes. She has a servile nature that has nothing to do with the deep respect you give others because you respect yourself completely. Instead, she gives respect to everyone and looks for someone to tell her what to do with her life. She is easily led and easily influenced. There is no strong inner voice, instead she is a hole that is looking for filling. In no way is this the respect that we Indians are taught to give our elders and our teachers.Also, her manipulation of her allegience to Kanha is met with religious institutions that bar and belittle her. The gates closing in on her here are the same as the gates that kept her away from the arti last week in Vrindiban. She hides behind Kanha and in return people use religion to treat her badly.I hate to sound so bitter, but this is my real feeling after the last few episodesThere is a quiet humbleness that radiates out of a person who is so complete that he or she needs nothing else. That person can show respect to an ant because s/he can give of oneself fully. Here Rads is such a vacuum, such a hole, what can she provide? Every promise she makes she has to break. She told Dev that they must do their duty to their families. If I were her, I would dig a tunnel and go to my dad.And look at Dev. He has communicated to others like Vivek that it is ok to lie to him. He accepts it unquestioningly from everyone: Rad, his family, Birju. And that is what he gets over and over again.
