Really, it's so easy to sit at home n advice a girl what to do right n what not to do preaching. But have we forgotten the rural back ground of Ban's home n family ?? Have we forgotten the social rules n stigmas in Indian society ??
Why do you think Rajji decided to stay back at Sohum house ?? For her family's grace. Girls sacrifice a lot for their families to save them from disgrace.
Even if Bani gets a divorce from Parmeet, no one'll marry her n she'll forever remain a burden n a source of social disgrace for her family.
I think it's important to not only consider what will Bani do (under pressure or not) but also what she SHOULD do.
This drama has a social theme, and at least in the beginning, it can be considered as something engaged since it has a message to convey to people about the NRI dream.
Us, sitting at home, giving advice and discussing the situation of a fictional girl isn't to simply admonish her. It's more a way to take note of those social rules and stigmas in India, especially in rural India.
I like full and rich discussions, and BullEyes' thread is great because we can discuss what Bani ought to do and what should be ABLE to do and we have the opinion of people from both orient and occident.
In my opinion discussing issues, on a forum or at home with our family is part of the process of change of the mentality of our people.
