Power, the lust for power has always been the bane of human life. The power where only you, your family exists, the power that cannot be shared has resulted in wars, pains and all around destruction. The power that says I am right and you are wrong creates the cracks in relations which with time creates big quakes.
The story of Mahabharatha was also about power. It was also the story of the war. A war which was fought for the benefit of humanity so that we learn lessons from it and never repeat something like that in our life time. But alas we never learned, we ended up committing the same mistakes and throughout human history we created more bloodshed.
The ego of man, the " I" is the reason most wars are caused. Whenever the masculine aspects overrule the feminine aspects of love, care, nurture and empathy war and destruction happens.
The pagdi of Lal Mahal symbolized the masculine power. The power that made a mother send away her baby daughter to another family. The burning of that pagdi symbolized that Anami will be the medium through which egoes of everyone will be attacked. From " I" to " We" she will create the journey. A journey in which the power comes through sharing and respecting, not by snatching and keeping it to yourself. In that journey along with egoes of other people Anami's ego also will burn. But then it will cleanse her and will leave her free from the cage she is trapped.
It was a beautiful scene where Anami walked in like a queen. My God Mahima Makwana carries power like anything. The confidence brimming in Anami;s eyes, the boredom in Anami's eyes listening to Satrupa's sob story was really fantastic. You can watch the show just for her.
But plot point, the whole funda looks game of chess between Pujan and Guruji. All others are just pieces in the board, that includes Satrupa. We dont know how Satrupa's twin babies died in the first instance. Did Guruji told to keep one child away because of astrological factors or he realized if the child stays there it will also be killed. He wanted to reveal it only at the right time. He needed it to ensure the empire doesnt go to wrong hands.
Yes Satrupa send the girl away, didnt Guruji knew that. Guruji knows Satrupa very well. He would have also known how Anami is as a girl when he send Satrupa to her. I would say he is a very smart player playing in the back ground a person only Pujan knows is a threat to him.
