Hola everyone
No, this is not the episode review post whic i generally make.
This is just a small analysis of Sadda Haq Season 1, to be specific of sanyukta's character, and also a general analysis of human behaviour.
Lets jzz quickly traipse through season 1.
Sanyukta Agarwal...the daughter of the rich mr kishore agarwal, a backward thinking, patriarchial man, who obviously demeans the status of women, condemning them to a more secondary status in his society. So, his daughter sanyukta is not allowed to study something she loves - Mechanical Engineering - snce her father thinks it is a "ladkon waala kaam" and that girls should not try to compete with men. Sanyukta rebels agains her father, an, as a result, ends up getting disowned by her own family. Her father DOES accept her later, but that is another story all together.
Lets just take into consideration, the human behaviour for a minute.
Have u guyz ever heard of the 'missing tile syndrome'??
I think not...
Well, the missing tile syndrome, is just a name given to a very normal aspect of human behaviour. Human beings tend to be a discontented lot, hence, they always tend to focus on, in simple terms, what they DONT have, rather than on what they do. So it is quite possible that a lady who thinks herself to be fat, walks into a room full of people and only notices what lovely figures the other women have. Or a man who doesnt have much hair could easily walk into a party and only notice the heads full of hair. It is a normal tendency of humans to do that. But sometimes, the missind tile syndroe applies not only to materialistic things like a figure and hair, but to mental conditions too.
So far, according to what we have seen in Sadda Haq season 1 and 2, sanyukta never had her father's support, in pursuing the career of her choice. She was a feminist by heart, Not an FCP, a female chauvnist pig (sorry, i kinda came up with that one😆) but yes, she does remain sensitive on the topic of gender bias.
Now for a moment, let us consider some totally different circumstances.
Sanyukta's surroundings remain the same, except for the mindsets of her parents. Mr agarwal is a modern, free thinking man, and so is her mom. They both believe that girls SHOULD, most certainly, go out into the world and make a name for themselves. They back sanyukta up every which way possible. They have full confidence in her, and so do expectations.
Now what happens to sanyukta??
Ofcourse, there is a chance that she thrives under this support of her parents, and excels in whatever she does. But is that all??
There is another possibility, that so much of support and expectation actually has the adverse effect on her - it crumbles her. Slowly, she begins thinking that there are so many expectations... why does she HAVE to do all that?? Why does she HAVE to make a name 4 herself?? Why does she HAVE to be a feminist?? More possibly than not, it turns her into a softer, shyer, and basically, more lady-like sanyukta.
Just like human beings have a knack 4 the 'missing tile syndrome', so do they have a knack 4 rebellion. Since this post is about sanyukta i shall leave the boys out of the equation, but notice it sometimes...the girls of a more modern thinking and 'Feminist' kinds of households, may put up an image of being a feminist...but peel away the mask and look inside them, and more often than not, u will find a soft spoken LADY. The same applies to patriarchal families, where the girl may put on a mask of being soft spoken...but peel that away, and u'll find a tigress inside.
I only hope that someday someone discovers this and makes a serial on the other side of the story too - the softer side of it.
