I am actually not referring to the corruption that we have seen in the show actually if anything its great that they did show it and this actually seems in line from what I have heard ab India from others who have been there or have relatives staying there. ' Sorry AB fans in India I know every1 is not the same but coz of a few rotten eggs India just happens to have an extremely bad name when it comes to corruption. I have heard a number of times that in india u can't get anything done without having to pay some1 . Or in an office 99% of the ppl are corrupt. I remember a while ago( u can correct me if I am wrong coz it was a long time ago) there was a story ab a farmer I think who had tried to get help for some land and the department he went to refused to help him until he gave them a bribe and than he put a bunch of snakes in their office. So I have to say that I have liked the fact that they showed tt and his side kick bribing 2 officials at the same time.
But coming to the meaning of my post we have watched 3 very different scenes of a man raising his hand against a woman but in all there has been 1 commonality that being that the woman has been at fault, that she has deserved this behavior. I have to say that all 3 times I have totally agreed with these women being slapped when Krishna knowingly took the questions papers knowing full well that her family doesn't have the money to pay for it Ravi's actions where correct. If I had an elder even smaller brother/sister I would want them to want to slap me if I did something so stupid. When Pintu slapped her it took me time to accept wholeheartedly that his actions where right but once I did I realized that Krishna had been like a person in shock who needed the slap but also coz she had overstepped her boundaries with him and she had it coming. I have the same views in regard to Pinky how I wish she did receive that slap but more than that if I was there I would have slapped her myself.
So my problem isn't actually with whether the slap or attempted slaps are right or wrong but my problem is that we live in a society which doesn't respect woman anymore. In most domestic violence cases woman often stay in the relationship coz they are made to feel that they have in someway brought this on themselves, they deserved it coz woman nag, they can't control their mouths so they need to be physically abused to bring them in line. So the cts of AB by showing that Pintu and Ravi actions where correct are in some ways saying that the thinking of these abusers are right. I am not in anyway saying that Pintu is a woman beater coz I understand that this character reacts instinctively he isn't doing it with an intention and once he realizes what he has done he immediately repents.
But that being said I will say that I have loved the fact that in both Ravi and Pintu's case their uncontrollable outbursts are actually coz their life's are somehow not in control. In real life I don't think most cases of domestic violence the man does it for the heck of it( does it coz he enjoys it) in most cases the man behaves this way coz he isn't able to make ends meet, he is stressed, no job and this causes him to lose control ( I am in no way saying that coz of these reason this sort of behavior is acceptable in any way but I have often heard these are some of the excuses that are given for their actions). Like in Ravi's case he was very unhappy ab the fact that he didn't have a job so couldn't provide for his family and this made him frustrated, angry and quick to react emotionally and aggressively. Pintu on the other hand might not have financial issues like Ravi but his family life is in turmoil it's always tense, ready to explode with a single word from either tt or Babloo. So him hitting those idiots in the cinema and I think him slapping and wanting to slap the girls is actually him trying to get back power and control.
So Pintu fans I am also a fan of him as well I don't need any justification for my jaans actions coz I already know that he is right. My question/ problem is that by continually showing that this sort of behavior is right by a man are the cts setting a bad example with the show. I do have full faith in the ct of the show that we will soon get a scene soon where Pintu will realize that he shouldn't be so quick to raise his hand when angered but I do wish they do it soon.
