Today's Take - A Visit To the Past - Page 4

Nice post.

Diya, the reasons I can attribute to villagers not questioning about girls disappearing are ignorance, illiteracy, economic dependence on Thakur, low status of women and girl child in general (Rajasthan has among the worst sex ratio in India and has high rates of child marriage and other social problems) and as you pointed out girls must be coming from very poor and helpless families which are eager to get rid of a mouth to feed and thankful for free marriage. Well, there are communities which still believe once a girl's "doli" leaves only her "arthi" should come back to her parent's home. In this story it is happening literally. Remember the "Ameena case", these things happen in real among the economically weak sections.

good post..rudra's flashbacks was definatly emotional and sad..:(

Beautiful post, Diya.. and the title is absolutely an apt one.

Great post Diya. I haven't watched the episode yet but I'm happy with how the show is progressing. We got a taste of Rudra's past in this episode. It's interesting to learn that he shared a loving relationship with his mother. Her betrayal must have hurt more for he was always given a lot of love and then she disappeared to never complete her role as a mother. I think Rudra chloroformed Paro as she will not be a nuisance to his plan and neither would she really know where he's taking her. Most kidnappers would tie up, blind fold, intoxicate or put their victim to a drowsy state so that they are not aware of their present location. Even if Paro tries to escape, if she's not aware of Rudra's village nor allowed to leave his home, she wouldn't really know where to go or how to leave.

Loved reading your take, as always well written. The story is progressing nicely, the cv's seem to be building it around all the characters not just parud. Bringing to light the fate of all the previous brides was good, looks like Paro's sister will come into picture next.
Loved the flash backs, Rudra seems to have had caring mother and loving childhood until his mother ran away.
I keep wondering about Kesri ram when ever they say Paro is their only witness, was he shot dead by Rudra???? Hope the writers don't forget that guy and Bindi.

great take, diya. so rudy still has enough claim on the haveli to come in and demand his own space. interesting.

from a previous episode, i remember the mami used to hate rudra's dad..
(detectivegiri:)was his moms disappearance staged because she was mistreated by ranawat ? the spotlight on the eyes raises the question again.. which mom has hazel eyes? not thakurain.. but then, an actor can act as if they have hazel eyes 😉

and, am i the only one who thinks rudy will steal that mangalsutra and tie it on her, while she was unconscious, "to keep the annoying q's to a minimum"?
