Agree with your post Serenity2011
i feel that we have never heard Sandhya's POV on why she still continues to live in that house and cringe at her husband's touch...
The reason for her decision to stay is not very clear as well - although she tells her friend Preeti that she made the decision to stay in the marriage and is following the values her family instilled in her...
In not so many words she has also at some occasiions with her brother Ankur mentioned that it is easy to talk abt leaving but Marriage is not a game to be taken this lightly when relationships are involved...
But I still dont understand why she is frightened everytime her husband touches her? Is there some secret fear that originated on the night of her wedding when Bhabho gave her a lecture on producing a grandson within a year?
Is it the fear that if she gets pregnant her dream of becoming IPS will be lost forever?
She may be still harbouring the possibility of that dream becoming a reality some day...
And yes Serenity2011 I agree that so far there are so many contradictions in Sandhya's character-
On one hand she fights against injustice and wrongs in the community...
Within her own family when the injustice is against herself she is docile and timid
she is very idealistic like you said and that could be because she is still very young and inexperienced in life besides like ppl in the forum mentioned earlier she is bookish and has not really faced the realities of life faced by working ppl...
In reality, any1 trying to fight corruption suffers and gains nothing as corruption is so deep rooted and steeped in the Indian psyche and system at all levels...
She may win some fights like the garbage bins and things which involve the residents in the community but when it is the system she has to fight against it is not so easy...
This is all going to be a learning process on her way to realising her dreams I guess.
