Tanthya,
I may be in the minority but shouldn't Pratigya be standing up for what to me is a blatant attempt to emotionally blackmail the girls family by the Mathurs. I thought Pratigya's character was to highlight the inustices in society, especially woman's plight. Yet without thinking anything wrong in the condition, she meekly accepted it without even questioning it.
Forget the Thakurs for a second, but why should a girls family succumb to demands set by the groom's side. Do they think the demands will stop before the wedding, they will continue even after marriage.
Dhanya ,
Pratigya is not a ideal role model ...She is flawed character with idealistic views ...and yes !! she would be fighting if the atrocity was direct ...here option was given " U want marriage , dont call Thakurs, or call off marriage if u want Thakurs " ...The ball was in Prof's court and Prof chose the former option ..and as we all know Pratigya has a blind spot when it comes to her Papa,
secondly it was free will , Pratigya kept quiet when Kesar withdrew complaint ..she did not berate her ....Pratigya knows that her father took this option voluntarily and was not coerced ..
Third, The injustice was on Pratigya directly and the Thakurs indirectly and we have seen Pratigya enduring lots of injustices in amma's Hands ..and not even one squeak escaped her ... deep within her she knows that Thakurs behaved badly ...so she is able to understand the reason
As for thinking demands will stop..if u notice ..Pratigya has never been shown to have the ability to forecast the consequence of her action ...Krishna possesses that forsight ..Pratigya was more of get justice for this action ..we will think of further action after seeing what happens and what new situation comes up kind of girl...so she has not processed the fact that this demand could be the beginning of lots of unreasonable demand ..
The parents ...for them this is an heaven sent opportunity ....they will not miss this for such trivial reasons..future will take care of itself ..but why shut the door on a glorious future for their young girl , just to maintain harmony with the cantankerous devil's ...At least let one child be happy ..and for Pratigya , Krishna is there ..he will protect her and safeguard her ...This is their thought
