Today's only Arshi? I'd really like to discuss that of 'those days' with someone who can throw some light😕...one hope, even if foolish or unrealistic, would like to come across someone knowledgable, who puts some sense on why this sham of an ending was 'accepted' as something erudite or refined even in those days!? For all built up went so ballistically wrong that even author himself had not dared to show the 'other' pair 'truly married'.🤢 Despite his brilliance, and all his brilliance archly contorted to make way for only one concept that he held precious; A handicapped view- that of a rigid, convoluted and a faulty 'Arya Sanskriti' concept that went disarrayed over a repulsive regressiveness. 'Repulsive', for objection was not only about remarriage of a widow (a bad pretext in itself), it has a more regressive chauvinistic hint that I'd not like to even discuss at this stage...some other time, if I last...🤢
Edit add; One clarification; I am referring to author's take of arya sanskriti as 'faulty'...and
not referring to Arya Sanskriti itself. For it does give lots of freedom to both the sexes as per my understanding. But let us wait here till it tackles the point...
