As you all know, today's was an episode, that jolted a lot of us awake. Most of us have heard and know about rape, but never realised the impact it made. A lot of callous posts have been made about members who dont quite understand the manganimity of the situation. Yes, this was a fictional character. But there are millions of REAL girls out there, to whom this has happened, not just once, but repeatedly. As we sit here, on our computers, typing and IMing out friends, there are a girls out there, somewhere in the world getting raped.
Those of you who watched the episode, you know what I am talking about. As KT's was getting raped, I felt as thought I was being violated myself. And those who haven't/couldn't watch it, I don't blame you.
I have a few facts and questions here:
According to Wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_sclerosis)
Multiple Sclerosis (abbreviated MS, also known as disseminated sclerosis or encephalomyelitis disseminata) is a chronic, inflammatory disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). MS can cause a variety of symptoms, including changes in sensation, visual problems, muscle weakness, depression, difficulties with coordination and speech, severe fatigue, cognitive impairment,problems with balance, over heating, and pain. MS will cause impaired mobility and disability in more severe cases.
MS primarily affects adults, with an age of onset typically between 20 and 40 years, and is more common in women than in men.------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------
If Mayank has indeed been diagnosed with MS, then it is highly improbable that he can rape someone. Most of you must have seen the movie "Guru", and MS was what Vidya Balan's character had. She was permanantly in a wheelchair and quite incapable of unaided movement. How does a person, with muscle weakness and lack of balance have the strength to rape an able bodied woman? Especially when she is struggling and clawing at you, how do you control her?
And isn't it uncanny how Mayank is one of the very few CHILDREN to be diagnosed with MS, when it is found mostly in adults, and that too more in women than men... Ekta and her miracle workers.
***************************
Moving on... This scene has been the most visually disturbing scene I have ever had the misfortune of laying my eyes on. I can only just imagine what a girl who is raped/sexually abused goes through. A woman's sexual health is very directly linked to her mental health, and it is very obvious why most rape victims attempt suicide now.
If not anything, I thank Ekta and team for driving home to me, the point of what a huge thing rape is and how violent and traumatising and disturbing it is to even watch it. I never had thought about it in this manner, and now I most definately will.
Views, opinions and comments are all welcome here. Also discuss all topics about who you think the rapist is, KT's future, how her relationship with Lakshya/Eklavya/Tulsi will change...
Note: Please dont post inconsiderate/seemingly funny comments in this thread. It is a serious issue and not anything funny/to be taken trivially.
