@Mangothyme it was expected you hate Satrupa. It is completely expected. See to take love and adulation for a task completed anyone can do. But to take the hatred on oneself for a mission well it requires something different. Something really different. You are right, Satrupa is the bahu of LM, the Shakthi of LM and its mindset. To take that shakthi out, the shakthi has to come out in full glory. The power of LM in all darkness. We are seeing that now. That power will go, as I said the bahu will be defeated. That is where the identity comes. The bahu of LM has no identity, it is just reflection of LM's power. But Satrupa the woman has identity. For that identity to come out, this reflection has to go, it has to get defeated. It can be defeated only and only if it exposes itself. Satrupa the bahu of LM has exposed herself completely today.
I have always had problems with understanding parts of the Mahabharata. Like how could Yudishtra pawn Drauapdi. It's a question she asked him. It is one of the triggers of the war. Yet he is the upholder of Dharma. To me Yudishtra violated her personhood, her independence. She does not belong to him to use as he pleased. Something similar happened to Ladoo and even Panditayen today. Satrupa has no right over Ladoo, she had some right over Anami but not Ladoo, he is not hers to use. This is the same tevar that Yudshtra had. I can do whatever I can with this person. This action of hers could be a trigger for the war and destroy many people as Vikram warned her.
I understand the need for an Abhimanyu. I understand the need for a jolt for Anami the Arjuna. But we should also remember that Abhimanyu went into the Chakravayuh willingly, he was not thrust into it. Satrupa was thrust into it. I think by Dadi. That is why their relationship was a rift till they bonded over the loss of Vatsalya and Anami coming. Now Satrupa is thrusting a young boy into the dangerous Chakravayuh, a boy who is a child, whose voice has not even changed, whose whole life is ahead of him. The Abhimanyu of the Mahabharata lived a full life of man before he died, he was a husband and a would be father I think. But Ladoo is just a child, innocence was what was thrust in today into the Chakravayuh.
One of the little vignettes I love in the Mahabharata is the one where Karna aims an arrow at Arjuna's heart and misses because Krishna drives the chariot into the ground. It hits Arjuna's head gear and Krishna praises Karna for the shot which irritates Arjuna. To which Krishna replies telling him all the advantages Arjuna has and Karna does not. Yet look at the battle he has given Arjuna. Then Krishna asks the all important question, "Where would you be without me". The truth is despite Arjuna's great accomplishments Krishna took away a lot of his obstacles like Ekalavya.
I expect an upholder of Dharma to be fair as in clear Black and white. when you get into the grey how much grey is ok.
Ladoo was brought to destroy Sudha. But I think that innocence and deliberate act will destroy LM also. LM wasis have used their power and advantage to demand from people, not ask. They have used people for their advantage, stomped on them. People like Dheeru. And the Bahus have led the charge for two generations. I found the story Dadi tells Anami today interesting of meeting Vikram reminding us she too is a Bahu of LM on a day when the LM Bahu Avatar of Satrupa was at its most obnoxious. It is interesting the destruction will come at the hand of the reluctant Beti of LM. At the end of this, there will be a new LM, a more just LM because of the parvarish of the Pandits. That is something the Bahus of LM who are the keepers of the LM tradition never anticipated.
