So touching yaar! Keep up the good work in your writings! 😃

Part 3: Suraj Pratap Scindhiya you just stabbed your son Yash in the back. Congratulations!

Strangely like P, he too has sort-of left his family. He is the dad who leaves his family while staying married and being present in the family's life. He has checked-out mentally from his family for the most part. In that he put his business, finances and image in society as priority not his wife or children. He left the burden of raising the children on his wife - from simple tasks like getting the kids up and dressed, helping them with their homework, to growing-up issues and emotional needs. Oh he was sort-of involved, in that he took them on outings and lavished them with gifts but often took the backseat under the guise of work.

They had learnt to live with the dichotomy that was their father. He was always polite and generous in society but at home he could be rude, angry and selfish. They knew their father had a social facade to maintain. Being respected in society was critically important to him.

SP's reaction to Aarti's ethical aberration was extreme. He felt hurt and betrayed and wanted them out of his house. However his image in society as the head of a 'model' joint family was at stake and so he banished AarYa and kids to the storeroom and ordered all family members to cut off ties with them. He humiliated his grandkid and insulted his son Yash by calling him stranger and deliberately permitted P to harass Aarti in Yash's absence. AarYa were sorely saddened by the punishment but remained patient and held on to peace. In order to uplift the spirits of their children they maintained an aura of laughter and gaiety.

The ugliest crime of all is when a father plots with the enemy to destroy his son and grandchildren. SP was focusing on his overpowering need to hurt Aarti and in his fury he overlooked the impact his actions would have on his son and grandkids. Yash who loves Aarti more than life itself will be devastated by the havoc that his father is plotting to unleash in his life. SP when angry is cruel and in wrath destructive - how are AarYa to survive this severe punishment? Worse still Yash has no clue that his father is stabbing him in the back.

SP you just stabbed your son Yash in the back. Congratulations!

@anonee: This is my favorite of your 3 part analysis. It is so powerfully written. Kudos! I can only agree with you on all points!

He is a hypocrit with a capital H. And what's worse? He is totally oblivious to how he sows the seeds of the evil that comes back to bite his own family- be it his neglect of bua or his handshake with P today!
