The Village Hero is actually Zero???? Chagan
The village Hero who rose ferocious during the dastardly act, who spoke about the cruelty done on Chakor, who raised his voice against the atrocity, who said if we keep quiet today our sisters, mothers all will be put through such atrocity.
Chagan who was hailed as the Hero is actually a Zero???
Point to ponder??? The last few episodes have been preachy true. But we have to accept the harsh fact that the makers are taking a huge risk in dealing with an otherwise sensitive but a forgotten subject... Maansik Bandhuva...The invisible chains... the psychological chains the society binds or one binds oneself around even without realising it.. the line of demarcation is hairline and very difficult to deal...
Right from the beginning of the 10 year leap Chagan had been shown as a literate person who has infact supported Chakor when she took so may bold steps, when she went against bandhuva, staked her life for the village (during the bomb blast), staked her marriage for the village children... Staked her childhood just to run so that she brings fame and through that bring protection to her fellowmen...Yes he was there...but he was there for the society as a whole, he was not in the shoes but he saw chakor wearing that shoes, but when he is asked to step into the shoes, he realise the shoe bites...
So where is that Chagan, The Chagan now I see is so narrowminded, considers his wife, whom he loved, who had risked her life to save him though she could have escaped during the horrible wedding as no less than a caretaker, to take care of him and his old parents...who does not want his wife to go behind her dreams, appreciate her art, support her, who says that he does not like her to work and also says the worst that she does not respect him... Is this love for his wife... well I am also disgusted, shocked with a heavy heart that he is no more the Hero but a Zero... But soon he will realise that shoe bite. The makers has made the best choice of him in this track as I can relate it, infact he has himself bonded that chains around him, those thoughts has been imbibed in him by the society... He has to break that to realise and then break the shallowness in his mind to allow Gauri to fly high...
We all are bit irritated that the last few episodes have been preachy but this though slavery has to be realised and to realise it should be spoken often and that's what is being done now, to bring in that thought into the viewers mind.
The best example... we have children at home a boy and a girl with a difference of say just two years of age inspite of who ever is being elder, the elders always will ask the girl to give water to the boy when he is thirsty and never he is told to give his sister the water... So here starts the psychological binding... Nobody actually preaches but the girl feels it is her duty to serve the brother while the brother feels that it is his right and the women has to do such jobs... Both are slaved to their respective thoughts... And this is what is now being dealt. I really applaud the makers...
Good choice of Chagan... A literate though, is bound in the shackles of age old norms... and breaking this shackle is not an easy task at all.. Kudos to the makers and I hope they bring the drama of Imli for the necessary twist...
So Chagan please come out of the shackles to soon walk shoulder to shoulder with Gauri as the Hero... but... for if you remain as Zero you will have no value unless you stand beside 1 and that No.1 will be Gauri for sure as she is all set to sour high.
Just my thought about the current track, kindly share your views
