I am so disturbed to see the treatment meted out to Saloni by Brijesh, and even more disturbed to see Saloni meekly submitting to the injustice and not standing up for herself !!!!!!
I feel the one who takes injustice is as much as fault as the one who does it !!!
Listening to elders is fine and respecting their wishes is great. But bowing to mental torture in the name of family honour and insulting your own parents........where have we reduced our society to??? These regressive themes in these serials thoroughly disgust me !!!!!
What message are these terrible themes giving out to those tender girls growing up all over India? That once you get married it's Ok to be rude and hurting to your parents if asked by the high and mighty in laws?? That once married the so called daughter in laws are slaves?? That parents can be belittled at the whims at the so called in law 'elders' ?? That you are younger member in a household, you have no self respect and can be insulted at will ? That your mother or father might die and you don't have to care because you are a bahu??
No wonder female infanticide in India is so rampant. Why bother to bring up a girl at all who would turn against you in the name of a family she has come to know for a handful of days ?
Why can't we have progressiv themes where the girls learn to balance between respect and having a mind of their own as well? Have the self esteem and realise that she too is an individual with needs and thoughts and an adult who will take a few decisions of her own whether her family members like it or not and they in return learn to accept it as well??? Why can't we have younger members of a family respectfully declining to carry out discriminating, offensive and oppresive 'orders' ? To top it, any female who is shown to have an independent thinking has to someone as evil as Kaveri. Which means, in India, ONLY evil females have a mind of their own. The rest all are herds of goats tied to the barn to produce offsprings !!!!
I am thoroughly, utterly disgusted. And I have seldom despised a character more than Saloni in these past two episodes.
