angry at thakurs in todays episode

Amrita was shown to record the whole event. After seeing todays episode I am really angry at thakur s. I think Sugni should run to delhi and Vik should help her get a job and she becomes independent, financially sound, falls in love and marries. Then she comes back to this village and takes her mom with her. Then it will be slap on those thakurs and thukurain!!!!!!

Many Indian men are misogynists (women-haters) and many Indian women are witches (who hate their own gender). And they always target women and girls in a weaker position, who are economically, socially weak and downtrodden!

I could see this forming into a long journey for Sugni and the society as a whole..
I agree there should be women organizations formed and such - although it'll be difficult for this culture to just have outsider people coming in and telling them how to run their own society, won't it ? :( some of the members of the Bedni community, I think, will have to step up to support Sugni in order to bring about a change to this society. The oppressed have to do something otherwise the suppressors will keep doing what they do unless they have a change of heart (which doesn't seem likely from seeing the Thakurs in the show)

I can't wait to see how such a change... or even a slight change... in these strongly held views and traditions will come about :O or, will it be only a change in Sugni's life?

Even Jwala Thakur doesn't treat his wife so equally or that nicely, perhaps that makes her envious and filled with contempt for the Bednis, especially Gulabiya - that if she's not treated very well, why should they be? The Thakur wives have hardly any empathy for them and if the men who are supposed to be respected in the society treat these women like objects, then others may dehumanize them too especially since they wouldn't want to share their husband with someone else - and Jwala doesn't really let her talk even so she takes it out her anger and other feelings on lower people in the society.

And, maybe Jwala Thakur sees, as well as everyone else, Sugni as an outcast to the traditions and rituals of the society - that maybe a punishment and forcing rituals on her would set her straight (also, it may be hard for him to ever admit/accept or see a younger person as correct in her actions). I don't think he sees anything wrong at all in the traditions, so it wouldn't be 'fair' to have his daughter as an exception to the rule... if she becomes an exception, what would that really mean for the society's traditions/rituals?

Thanks  for sharing your thoughts.I'm learning a lot from you all . I pity those women who are used and abused by these so called Thakurs and their wives. PHS story is very timely . I support sugni in her fight  all the way.

Stupid Muchad Thakurs some one should save off half their mushtache so that they all get their punishment for following repressive traditions

These so called traditions are made by those evil Thakurs' ancestors to serve their own dirty purposes! Like the Devdasi system the Bedni customs are also just a form of formalized prostitution for the exploitation of disadvantaged women of lower caste by upper caste men!
