Somehow even I don't like an elderly lady fall on a younger one's feet for whatever may be the reason and however wicked she has been. She would have been equally ashamed just by asking Sorry as their pride (pseudo) is sky high and they treat that as an insult. But yes, sometimes, one has to succumb to circumstances and go with the flow and that is what varma's expected Suman to do in this case.
Neither Mahantaji nor Pradeep Samrat learn from their mistakes. They will grow more futile and end up in further mess and that is what has happened now with them for sending the thugs to Varma's. What will happen to them if these 2 thugs were presented in the community meeting now while Samrat is still getting the whippings?
