Although Tulsi committed this act, I don't really think she should be blamed for this.
Tulsi carried out this mercy-killing act at a time and a condition when
she was emotionally wearied out by Savita's constant persistence to
die. Savita kept pressing that she can no longer bear the pain and she
convinced Tulsi that nobody will blame her. She even led Tulsi's hand
to the LSS's switch.
I don't think when Tulsi came to meet Savita that day, she knew that
she would end up doing this. She actually came there to encourage
Savita to live. However, stubborn Savita emotionally blackmailed Tulsi
in doing the act. Tulsi didn't even have time to think about what she
was doing. She was not even in the right state of mind. No wonder she
didn't call anybody before doing this. She just kept following Savita's
commands, be it turning the switch off or grab a tulsi leaf.
But, Tulsi DID realize that she didn't even inform anybody (if you
watched the episode closely). But, it was too late then, she had
already let Savita go.
If you put yourself in Tulsi's position at the time and place of the
incident, you will understand that it's easy to say that she should've
done this or done that, but it's not as easy as it might seem like.
Many times in life, we do things, or say things, without conscious
thinking, in a very emotional state of mind. We would never make any
mistakes ever if we performed each activity with conscious reasoning.
So sukhi, how about at least a little sympathy for our Tulsi?
