Punishment v/s retribution & reform !!

As an ex-educator, I choose to comment here on the recent article in TOI "Telly with a cause", as it concerns your show Bairi Piya.

I started watching the show a few months back when one of my students urged me to, since it dealt with a well-debated topic in my class ' punishment v/s retribution & reform.

Although the debauched, manipulative Thakur was portrayed very convincingly, the repentant, reformed one was quite a dismal, incomplete figure, who in the last few episodes was shown slapping his 'beloved' wife. The message you unfortunately put across here, is alarmingly clear ' Even decent men indulge in wife beating!

Television does influence people's minds in a huge way. Please, do consider the negative impact you've created by unwittingly validating a sinfully erroneous practice..

The hastily put together last episode & the public message within is sadly not what will live on in people's memories. In-fact Therein Should Lie The Basis For Your New Story.

One hears that there is a demand for a continuation of the serial.

I too earnestly request for a sequel, albeit for different reasons.

Sincerely

S Kanwal.

And by comments, I DON'T mean mere praises, like "Good Article", "Wonderful Article" etc. 😲 I wanna c your "own thoughts", pinned down here! 🤓 So the praise should not be for the article & the writer, it should be for BP! 😉

I'd say that taken in perspective, the slap was nothing compared to the suckerpunch Amoli had just callously dealt DV. Why do we women play the hypocrite in this? If we would have been dealing out a slap in a similar situation, how does our being women make someone slapping us for the exact same thing wrong? You can blame someone if you wouldn't do what they're doing. Equality is either there or not. It's hardly a convenient disposable.
