Nice post. What Bhabo said she means it. All her actions are anti IPS driven. Her inability to appreciate Sandhya or her contribution to the family is primarily a reflection of the same sentiment. In Bhabo's eyes no matter how good Sandhya is, no matter how noble she is, no matter how much her son loves her, IPS is too heavy a price to pay. From her stand point and her milieu and background, she is not wrong. 1.Her son, she fears will no longer be as respected as Sandhya as he is only a halwai,
2.There is fear of separation as Sandhya will have a transferable job
3. There is fear her joint family will break with Sandhya moving out others also may want to move out.
4.Danger to Sandhya's life
5. Uncertainty about the fate of RP.
6. Very little time for the family as working hours are long
These are real fears which cannot be allayed by any one.
Regarding other more conservative and negative fears
1. Bhabo losing her position in the house to Sandhya
2.Her ghoonghat clad Bahu wearing IPS dress
3. Her not respecting elders after passing
4. Her touching male criminals in her line of duty
5. Suraj also possibly moving out with his wife, other Beendanis also taking Sandhya's example and defying her.
