I am deeply disappointed that you are directly or indirectly suggesting that it is OK for educated and progressive woman to accept domestic violence. I believe that while showing domestic violenceon Kesar your point was since she is uneducated and subdued in nature she did not have the courage to stand up for herself. In real, people of that nature does have difficulty.
But what about Pratigya? She is an educated progressive woman ( except some cases,ex telling Kesar that being a mother is the ultimate satisfaction for a woman. That is not true) who always fights for justice. I do not believe that a woman with her qualities would stay in the house and suffer the cruel atrocities of her in- laws and mistreatment from her husband. You are the writers of the show and you have the power to change this.Her decision in staying with her husband after hearing that he regrets marrying her shows that she chose to stay in the marraige because she loves him . That is fine. Women has the tendency to always believe that the spouse is going to change some time and someday. You are making her justify her husband's behavior by letting her believe that he said it in anger. But for how long ?Emotional torture is also a form of domestic violence This kind of violence causes far more pain than the visible marks of bruises and scars. It is devastating to be abused by someone that you love and think loves you in return. You are making Krishna do that to Prats. By letting her stay, are you not suggesting that no matter how wrongly or badly you are mistreated it is OK and alright to stay in the relationship, holding to the one hope ,that he loves you and will change oneday.I live in America and is married for 13 years with 2 children.I love my husband with all my heart. We had numerous fights and we still do, I guess that is normal in any relationship.There are times when we are tremendously mad with eachother, but we have never involved either of our parents. Resposible individuals do not do it. We have always solved it out by communicating. In all these 16 years (I met him in university and dated for 3 years) neither of us has ever emotionally abused eachother in anyway. But I can assure you that no matter how much I love him I would never tolerate him, if he ever lays a finger on me out of anger. I would not stay in the marraige even though we have 2 boys.It is not healthy for kids to see their parents fight.My point is Domestic Violence never ends.It is just the beginning of a very painful life. I will not give up in letting my point been own. Media plays a very important role and you have the power to show positive sides of a women's story. Love is something which should be inspiring and uplift the person you love. Encourage him or her to do the right thing .If Krishna really loves Pratigya he should understand the truth and start re -invent himself and make himself worthy of her and show the world thatt love is indeed powerful. And if Prat really loves Krishna she should walk out of the marraige for a while and make him realize that she will not tolerate mistreatment from him or his parents and get independent . She should give Krishna the oppurtunity to realize the importance of marraige. he needs to get rid of his ego. Once the ego is gone ,everything will come to its place. There will be no place for anything but Love. Following the realization from both sides there marraige will be on good standing.I would want to see a story where social issue are handled properly. Being silent towards domestic violence is not the answer to a marraige .Again it never goes away.
