well the story is called saraswatichandra and not kumudsundari ,saras is the focal point ,its his journey,his seekings, his learning from his past...the cataclysmic events of his life ,his love for kumud, his growth as a man

My questions are not about the story of Saraswatichandra. But based on certain issues in it. Name of the show doesn't mean that everything should be about Saras, and others are not needed. If so, why waste money and time of others, just show all shades of Saras...that's it!

Hunnybunch, valid questions.

What makes you think story is endorsing putting up with abuse? Isn't she assessing her stand and circumstances? They are yet to unfold how Kumud fights her battles. This is how I perceive at this stage.

Alak, BD, Mrs. BD we find them in society around us.

Can we assess what her options are:

1. Option 1: educated 21st century women of this forum would do: annulment of the marriage( marriage is null and void if there is no consummation, acc to Indian legal system, no need to fight a divorce, my understanding.). I admire them as well, for being what they are.

2. Option 2. put up with torment: for lack of social support, for children or shame in the society. I'm ashamed as a society we let it happen.

3. Rise above all these: if one spouse leaves,, there is always another one they find. Never stops, contrary to cinematic description abusive husbands are grown up in abusive families. They donot know the life otherwise.

Fight the battle if one has the innate ability to do so:

I see that ability in Kumud, that's all. She is standing up for her decision to marry him. I would equally appreciate if she decides otherwise and lives life for herself and Saras. Her life..

She is living life for what she believes in, on her own terms. She is not compromising her values. I salute her for that.

Something is psychologically wrong with the Abusive person. Human growth is a continuous process, if not reach the pinnacle, he can turn to be a better human being than what he is. Give him a chance.

Treat it as a mental illness. , it is uphill battle. Why should I discourage/obstruct Kumud from doing that? She will set her tolerance limits.

Having said that, it is upto the individual to decide how they want to mend or break their personal relationships. Why enforce our views on how to live life .. on somebody who is less fortunate to be entangled with abusive partner.

Let her fight her life's battles, We can be there to support.

Very sensible questions.

Q.1.

I find Kumud is in no mood to forgive Saras. He was the prince of her dreams. He promised to dab rainbow colours in her life but gave her the white blank cloth, which turned out to be bad omen. Now she is living for her family's honour. She is obliged to her in-laws who saved them from disgrace. How can she forgive Saras who deprived her of all zip and zing in her life? Moreover, he being there in her hubby's house she is reminded 24 X 7 of her barren life.

Q. 2.

Today's episode indicates that Kumud may take to teaching again and give up the full-time housewife job. She is shown as a strong but conventional woman. She does not hesitate to dictate to the maid. She is determined not to be hapless battered wife. Slowly she will resist / reform Prammad.

Q. 3.

The traditional ideal Indian woman bears the torch of culture. So every daughter-in-law is expected to put the family first, and self the last. These so-called values/ideals are insidiously drilled into the mind of every man and woman through all possible means - serials, cinema, literature, etc. Genderism can be perceived everywhere. SC also conveys this.

We can hope that SC will eventually depict Kumud silently and patiently fighting against some of the social evils, or at least reform Pramad.

@Bold

What does this mean?

Do you mean that until then she will tolerate the physical and emotional abuses? Feeling guilty shouldn't make one suffer like that!

Yes! Women need support of good men, but when there is no one they should have courage to stand up and fight!
