As for Dadi's behavior is concerned and treatment metted to story ,it was done with intent to show us what made up is Dadi of and it is necessary to show that to an extent to female protagonist as it serves two purpose- it wil give our hero a platform where he can fight for his wife's dignity and respect in house and secondly dadi can relate khushi with that past woman who was mentioned many times but not revealed yet...so her disliking will be more and will lead to revealation of past... Regarding Dadi's behavior towards word Servant ..well that is difference which shows what were malliks made of...yes it is some time too much to show it .. but it surfaces reality too that exists in certain parts of India.. With her behavior ,we cn establish how she must have either ruined her son's life with it..or her son wud have carried off those traits...
hope i made some sense with what I have written...😆..I am feeling like spokesperson for GH..😲
Rits, as always, a thought provoking post! I agree with you in part about the female protagonist and this set up...it comes to what Suvi earlier had mentioned--the aabla naari syndrome...the wife here needing someone to defend her dignity and garner her respect, although in Khushi's case it is absolutely unnecessary because she is more than capable of defending herself...but anyway, I give this one to the soch nayi at SP.
But what I don't get is why is Dadi relating Khushi with anyone without even knowing anything about her? Seems a little premature. She hasn't really spoken to anyone other than to Anjali, and all her other statements prior to Anjali's arrival have had to do with naukar, aukat and shuddhi!😕 So it seems quite deliberate on the CVs part to stuff this mentality down the audience's throat without much justification for it...Furthermore, Manorama's behavior today only condoned Dadi's words...and that is wrong on all levels! Had she defended Khushi, I would have said that ok, this class & social distinction is just something to show the orthodox thought (yes, keeping with some parts of our country!) But here, the CVs are taking some liberties which I don't think is alright at this juncture...Just my 2 cents!
