Anandi wnether educated or uneducated, whether rich or poor, will remain the same. Not taking action at the right time. Are we not seeing financially independent women making foolish choices?
Nimboli was kept alive due to Harki's desire to have a slave who could do all the housework. And Akheraj was earning to feed all of them.
Forget anandi Is not Mangala doing injustice to the child by her manipulations? Her selfishness to keep the girl for herself overrides her concern for the girl. Seems some people dont want to acknowledge what Mangala is upto nowadays.
@red True.Anandi's problems are because of the flaw in her personality This problem has nothing to do with her educational status or financial status..As per the CVs she is a human being and not some divine character or some super woman to be devoid of flaws.
She is a good woman who has a few flaws which give her and others problems in an other wise virtuous pure hearted character with good intentions at all times.
Nimboli was alive because of Akheraj and Harki's own compulsions.She is kept alive by them because they wanted to wash off the dosh in Kundan's Kundali and not just because of Mangala
Punishments and beatings starvings never really scarred the child's psyche even though those punishments were at times dangerous and life threatening because even Harki and Kamili were subjected to violence by Akheraj and Kundan.
But what bothered the child was this constant taunts about her being foundling and being treated like an unwanted baggage. Mangala also endorsed Akheraj's story about the child being found in garbage bin.This is what has damaged the child most.
So it can't be said that Mangala protected her from every violence.She may have been succesful in protecting that child at times from physical abuse but she took an active part in emotional abuse all these 11 years.
Anandi can be blamed for her kids' suffering now but that Anandi's inaction or inertia are not the reason for what Mangala is doing with the kids now.
