So far so good.. What I read and heard from very seniors in Maharashtra about Ahalya and her reforms she implemented with in the palace and outside which surprised many as well as earned her a lots of respect. Her sharp thinking and knowledge she had from her child hood where she suggested & insisted to dig a well for the welfare of the ladies who otherwise have to walk miles to get water for their domestic need and shiva temple could be installed near by a suitable area., which though did upset Malhokar's wife who laid the stone, Subaidar ji supported 9 year old Ahlya.
Similarly , she sensed lots of back biting & conspiracy against her and KR managed to got hold of the culprits and brought them to the Durbar for Subaidar Malhokar to give the verdict. But I still haven't got a clue what & how they dealt with DB. (I forgot the narrative as didn't have the facility to record them as I met those people somewhere in 1973 or 74 when I was in Bombay.). Ahalya bhai was one of the most intelligent and very knowledgeable lady who knew all the Vedas and an expert in Dharam & Rajneethi, so that so called acharyas who paused as the supreme of the Devine & spiritual aspects .
As the serial drag with petty petty incidence, I wish they show more of her contact & conduct with locals where she convinced them education is a must for men as well as women. She fought and rectified the old system of widows being treated as untouchable & inauspicious (ashubh), where their entry & presence were restricted. I only hope this serial break all the barriers with true picturization of that great lady Ahalya.
