You are welcome...wanted to thank you for the share. Just checked the link and took the test. I scored 'growth' mindset.😃 And was directed to a book...😆Yes Shrija, this is not that SC either. No prob. Will gladly await 'loads of writing' that spurs...😊
The SLB serial motivated me to read the original version of this book - all 4 volumes . 150 years ago, people did criticise Goverdharam Tripathi, who was a social reformer, for not getting Kumud remarried . I believe he chicken out in the end .( Im sorry GT ).
GT wanted to change the 19th century Gujarati society . He created a hero who was very well educated and modern and did not believe in rigid customs . He was generous, sensitive and at the same time haughty and aloof . He was wealthy but did not care about the money . Saraswatichandra was the first modern hero . All the girls desired to have a husband like him. GT needed a girl to suit this modern hero. A girl who was educated and accomplished . She should understand him and stand by him in all the difficult situations.
Saraswatichandra and Kumud Sundari were the popular role models of Gujarati society . The girls and boys would identify with Kumud or Saras . Every literate Gujarati family had this book in their possession.

Serial is now not going by the book ...understandably , as it is adapted to the present age and TRP ( but I don't like it when it becomes saas-bahu type ). I feel everyone should have liberty to interpret the novel, but retaining the idea of change in the bad social customs of the society .
Im happy that the book which was lying in old wooden cupboards has now come out of shelves. And more people now know about Goverdhanram Tripathi and Saraswatichandra .
It is always a pleasure to read everybody's commnets here in this forum.
