So this show has me on the ropes with its different concept and characterization. However, it also has me thinking of what our society deems to be "Uneducated".
Everyone has a hobby in the show apart from Sakshi and Karan who like to continuously pin Sharda about being uneducated. Which would be fine if EVERYTHING wasn't based on that.
If someone praises her for her management skills its awkward for her husband because she apparently is of no use to him. Why?
Does not knowing how to read and write snatch away a person's skills? If yes, then our ancestors were probably junglees who weren't civilized. However, history says that this wrong because our ancestors had vast amount of knowledge and lived properly without having the need to read and write.
Sharda at least has the manners to not put down people of her own family in front of a third person. She also knows how to act cordially in society, so what is the problem? That she does not know English? But then again, India's national language is Hindi so why should she not continue speaking in Hindi.
I live outside of India but it bothers me so very much when people look down upon different languages. It's a language! Just a method of communication! You can not have one being superior to another.
Coming back to my question though, how EDUCATED are the rest of the Modis really? Her husband is educated yet can not respect his wife or educate her. Her daughter can not respect her or her husband probably due to his financial problems. Being educated gives people a sense of perspective, it's supposed to make them wiser and more understanding. Ironically, the rest of the Modis do not qualify or attribute to any of these qualities while Sharda does.
P.S: These were just my thoughts and opinion. If anyone feels otherwise then they are most welcome to share their opinion.
