To me no one on this forum is advocating rape or agreeing with it. Rape is a crime, as is murder, kidnapping, extortion, blackmail etc.
KS you are not going to get any argument with me on the act of dumping Saloni?s child ? it was a truly despicable act. When the nurse came up with the theory ? switching the babies. She pointed out the husband was in a drunken state, Kalika knew what was the potential/intended future for NS baby girl. So to me justice is justice?.. Kalika must know the theory of unintended consequences - outcomes that are not (or not limited to) what the individual intended in a particular situation. The unintended results may be foreseen or unforeseen, but they should be the logical or likely results of the action. So, the likely result for Saloni?s child is as you pointed out rape or a future as a prostitute.
As well as she made a bargain with KJT ? he?s an alcoholic as well as a greedy, spoilt, individual. Because he wears fine clothing doesn?t make him a better alcoholic ? he just gets drunk on Champayne rather than cheap rum?..
KJT plan of revenge was purely to discredit Brijesh and Nahar in Kakasa?s eyes from a business stand point. He framed Mr Banerjeer and place the 10 million dollars in Nahar?s account. But Kalika?s revenge was more heinous and I agree with you vile. She came up with the plot to frame Brijesh, she poison those people through KJT help. But it was her plan. (The Tara/Saloni/Lalli Massi ? I don?t personally believe it was a crime because you whisper in some-one eyes they have to decide what is right and wrong ? so I hold Tara, Bhaboo, Dhree totally responsible for the crap and the torture of Saloni. Kaveri/Samar ? it was entirely up to them to sort out their marital problem that started off with lipstick on the collar. Kalika just gave them a nudge). However I find her behave towards Ginni wa not right because due to her actions Ginni could have been thrown out by the villagers and end back on the streets.
There was no pleasure or gain for KJT in the Samar/Kaveri situation that was only for Kalika bnefit. She alone came up with the scheme for NS baby as well as her ?pregnancy? to torture Saloni. Her arrogancy is in believing she can control KJT as she can control everybody.
