I agree completely that Laila is not in love with, but infatuated with the idea of Rudra. Your points of contrast between Paro and Laila were accurate. 100% completely.
But I disagree with this notion:" I feel that Laila is RESPONSIBLE for the way she is looked at"I'm an infrequent viewer of RR due to time commitments, but why do you believe this is true?Was it revealed that Laila is a prostitute? And since when has dancing been downgraded to the work done by women with no self respect? I genuinely don't think it's Laila or her actions that are "impure", but the vision through which she is viewed is distorted.
And maybe I am too deeply enamored with my feminist approach to life, but I strictly believe that a woman deserves due respect, no matter what she wears, who she sleeps with or how she carries herself. No woman, not even one who walks around naked, deserves to be treated like a piece of meat... regardless of what she does with her body.So with all due respect, I do disagree with a few points of your post, though your post was an interesting read.
