Do we understand Arushi?

I have been often mentioning in my musings that I hate Arushi and have been increasingly feeling uneasy about it. Hatred is not exactly an emotion I savour ( I still hate AH) and have done a bit of introspection. What I have realised that there is something about A that stirs evokes revulsion and moral outrage in me. However now as I delve deeper into her persona, I can feel pity for her. I think A represents the ugly consequence of repression. What thwarted desires can do to a person.

Pity is not exactly sympathy. It is the acknowledgement of the total degradation of a person. Unlike sympathy, there is a sense of moral superiority associated with pity and that's exactly what I feel for Arushi. Watching A is like watching a horrible creepy-crawly slithering her way thro'life. A repulsive and bestial creature. We want to look away from her as she represents everything that can go horribly wrong with the society. remember, we were all so disgusted that why is she so desperate to get married? I have an opinion on that, in South Asia, marr. is just not a b'ning

of new life, it is also the end of the old one.

Arushi is evil, no doubt about it. She is an evil that society creates and even help to flourish. P is not able to deal with A's onslaughts bec' she is for the first time in her life, afraid. Afraid to confront evil that has come out of her own family.Aru chap has shown up the moral weakness and innate nepotism of P.When you are living in glass (read green) house, you shd not be throwing stones at others. P will learn this lesson the hard way.

Underlined. Pratigya has to stand up. I don't think she is afraid ,but I do think she is surprised and shocked to see her kid sister's evil transformation. I think its hard for her to digest the fact that Arushi had so much malice in her.Anu u r right. Pratigya is surprised to see this side of arushi and more over shocked. She is not able to imagine her like that. u know what Pratigya's weakness is her family. for her family she becomes silent and don't tell anything. Remember when her father told her not to tell krishna abt the kidnap and wanted her word for that. tht nearly destroyed her married life. She is evil no doubt.Acc to the precap if Arushi is hell bend to destroy her relationship with krishna,will she be quiet still or see the matter seriously. Please discuss your thought? o.k. now abt this if arushi challenges her she will fight for krishna. now all the more she loves him. she will do everything in her hand to clear things and get him back. she did everything before when he even doubted her. so this is nothing compared to that. arushi is only her little sister and she knows how her sister will act and i am sure she won;t just sit quiet if that happens. we will see a new pratigya.shewill fight for krishna that is definite.

If I have to treat MKAP as a piece of litt.(😲🤢) and asked what P is going thru, I would say that P is indulging in willing suspension of disbelief. She is refusing to acknowledge the enormity of A's act bec' that would force her to accept the bitter reality that a Saxena can go wrong.Whenever confronted with a shortcoming of the Saxenas, P goes into a kind of moral rigor mortis. She freezes. P is at her best when she is standing firmly on a pedestal and is looking down at the world. She feels comfortable when she has to reveal the faults of the unpadhs. Arushi is her own kind, she cannot be given a talking down. P is not doing anything about A bec' as yet she does not know what to do. P will not antagonise A even when it comes to saving her relation with K. P would prefer to be a martyr than to fight off A. Let me quote Confucious here,To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage. I want p to prove me wrong. Infact, I am waiting for it.

Underlined. I think when it comes to Krishna she will standup . the whole drama is the story of kriya. They have gone through so much together, If they seperate ,nothing is left anymore and that will contardict the whole meaning of the story. What can Arushi do to alter that ? I doubt it . I have a feeling that rushi's time in TN is numbered.
