Hey there all the lovely people!!
Me is back again. Apologies for being late.
Direct to discussion!!
Kanak snatches the doll from Saras, trying to depict the harsh reality that would befall her if she continued to agree on to accept the punishment. Kanak asks Uma to cut the chunri - he is unable to do it, Kanak takes on herself to snip the chunri off ruthlessly, - Uma averts his eyes, he can't see the chunri being cut, how would he see his sister without chunri. Kanak asks him to cut the hair - hair the crown jewel on the women of east. Hair that if opens create the analogy of kaali ghata, zulf ghani, a woman needs no ornament to beautify her, just leave the tresses open and she becomes the goddess, hair be it short or long are always admired, has been the pride. While Uma is unable to do it saras steps up and cuts the dolls hair, she says that Uma, her brother has taught her that there is nobody above dharm, she would do as Uma says. Uma walks up to her and hugs her, taking her in his arms, trying to make both of them better, he confesses that he is proud of her, but he apologizes that he is incapable of changing her fate, as he is bound by Dharm - To be really honest it's more like man made shackles to trap people within the circle, restricting their life - rules, regulations, discipline is always required in life but extremity of anything is injurious to self and those around one.
Kanak is outraged at saras and Uma, she sets out to find BBG, to talk some sense into him. Sevika stops her and says that she is his mother, when a child can shun his mother for life, he has no heart left to change. He is intoxicated to this lifestyle, having followers and people doing jai jai kar... she gives her two cent of advise that if Kanak is to change her world she should change her husband because he still has a heart.
I am against violence of all kind, be it as common as a slap - but today's slap was not for a person, but it was a slap on the thought process that one wrong can be acceptable if other wrong is happening... Payals whole conversation was just ridiculous, that just because saras is being shipped off as sevika she has come to realization that the house does no difference between bahu and beti. - her ultimate eureka moment is that she is happy that the family is intent on doing wrong with everyone.
Kanak's slap was her answer ripping through the silent humdrum of dharm going in the house. It shows that she is not going to give in.. she informs Massi that a person who cannot respect his mother, what kind of life would a sevika have with him... Massi as always says "BBG is poojniye - come on how come a person be pooojniye, when the First Lady of his life, his mother has no existence- I have this belief that a man is judged by his relationship with his mother and sister, it's how he treats them shows that he has been raise by a queen and would treat his wife as a princess. Massi blurts out half truth that the net was cast for her, Palomi with her slithering snake' bg stops massi. And Massi changes her words saying that Kanak since she has stepped in the house has only brought abshagun' she holds Kanak's hand is about to drag her all the way to the door to literally throw her out. Kanak jerks free her hand and says that she wouldn't leave, but Massi should rather remove and throw the blindfold of dharm. Massi has burned the house by her own wrong doings and yet she has the audacity of blaming Kanak of being abshagun *facepalm*. Massi raises her hand to slap her - but Uma intervenes saying that it was one of his promise during marriage that he would protect his wife, and it doesn't matter who stands in front, it's as his dharm says, Kanak looks on at him with admiring shock - - Uma's dharm is not wrong, it's a way of life, but as extremity of everything is harmful, so is with his dharm the excess of it restricts him, rather than giving him the power of free will.
