Why 'DV track' rating leap to all time high in UK

Dukhba, I praised you on Aug 12. I would like to take back my words. I thought, you were strong and would give Kumud some sense. It's the rehabs that fix alcoholics not wives.


Aug 12th 2013, Bravo Dukhba

👏 Dukhba for what you said today on " Saraswatichandra". It will be interesting to see what lies ahead and how you will put forth your views to Kumud.

Women have always been burdened with the responsibility of protecting family honour. However, with time changes do occur.

We have managed to get rid of practices like Sati, child marriages etc. These days people speak against dowry and you have women discussing their plight on TV. There are women who call of their wedding at the last minute, because the grooms parents demanded some huge dowry. In the olden days this was unheard of. However, now such women are praised and you have media turning them into a hero overnight. Fortunately, these women have been able to find like minded guys and get married. So women are being appreciated for speaking up. Widows are allowed to remarry, they are not expected to give up everything and dress in complete white clothes. There are organizations that help women in distress. We have more and more women getting education, have positions in army, fly fighter planes, women sarpanch in small towns, even the way they dress has changed etc.

You can see the change, when you look around ( cities as well as small towns) and compare yourself to the previous generation. The women in rural areas are emerging as well ( look at Gulabi gang on youtube).

Best, I can sense a change at this forum itself where so many are voicing their concerns, reg. Kumud's plight. It is surely a progress in the right direction.

Please, I am not suggesting that all women divorce their abusive hubbies. However, it will be nice if a woman does have an option to walk away from such a troublesome life. She will be able to do so when the society is more open to viewing her not as a divorcee because of her own wrong doing or her karma, but as a strong woman who chose not to lead a miserable life and instead decided to put her energy into doing other worthy constructive things.

Please click like, if you agree with the post.

Agree, atleast she must have managed to get some TRP aunties to her side.

She turned out to be a complete surprise. I had these expectations from Kumud, however Dukhba a woman from a previous generation expressing her views was , wow!

Now the maa- beta Jodi will do something sensible for sure.

dugba is a really strong woman, nice to hear such views from her..

As for your post, you are a woman of my mind, I agree with everything you said. I can accept compromise but not subservience in the name of what will the society say! Of course women do need the support if they have to make a decision. Sometimes parents are not there and thus NGOs are really important in those instances.

Thank you, dear

Very happy with Dukhba today.

I always loved DG. A bit too proud n stern ( my personal opinion but I guess circumstances in life made her this way) but nevertheless proud n dignified. N more important a lady who never accepts crap from ANYBODY!! I thought Kumud was the same. I guess CVs in the attempt to get high TRP wanted to make her the "ideal SP bahu" but failed miserably to impress.

They have decided to get things right by awakening the old Dugbaa who disappointed big time during Kumud's wedding.

I want to see her mending the bridge with Sara's n work together on the mission get kumud out of BD's house!!

I feel she will be the one to reunite SaMud because if there is one person who can put some sense in kumud's hard to crack mind then it is DG.

Me too, now looking forward to the new maa-beta Jodi plans. Will luv to see Saras and Dukhba meet after a long time, and her reaction when she will know about his plight. The makers went into some damage control mode today.

Thank you for your positive reaction to my post. No woman is foolish to just walk away without giving her best. However, some are not fortunate to have parents around to help them.NGOs play a role, however, its difficult for a woman to even reach out to them. Hence, I think it is the mind set that needs a change.
