women - trouble with C.Bhagat ???

To start with pros

I didn't get that impression. The female protagonists were independent in thoughts and actions and sexually liberated, something which was refreshing. What is so characterless about being uninhibited about sex with someone you love? The male protagonist also had same notions on the subject.

Cheating on their parents. That was the worst thing the protagonists always did.

Cheating on parents? You mean being in a relationship without their parent's knowledge? How is that unacceptable?

I couldn't go through more than half of CB's book but that was for a different reason all together.

Being in a physical relationship knowing it would hurt their parents

A LOT

I don't like Chetan Bhagat as an author. I find his writing weak and juvenile. That being said I agree with Riyasi. I never had any problem with his female characters. In fact one good aspect about his writing is that male and female characters are equitably developed.

Yes his women have relationships and have sex. But they aren't throwing themselves at anyone. It is a mutual development in the relationships. There isn't anything characterless about it either.

And perhaps parents may not like their children having premarital sex or relationships outside the community, but these things are a personal choice and one cannot always live every aspect of their life according to someone else's rules and expectations.

What were they supposed to do? Remain celibate or ask permission to consummate the relationship? Asking parents for permission at every step of the way?

So you say its okay to have physical relationships out of wedlock?🤓

How can a woman called characterless when she sleeps with her boyfriend in all his novels?Times are changing.Pre-marital sex is very common nowadays.Gone are the days when gals used to say that i can have sex with u only after marriage.Nowadays gals have totally changed.If they feel like doing it,they do it.They don't care about what the society says.And why should they care?They are sleeping with the guy whom they love and trust a lot.They are not sleeping with strangers for money just like how prostitutes do.So how can they be called characterless?So if a gal sleeps with the guy she loves after marriage,then she is not characterless but if she sleeps with a guy she loves before marriage then she is called characterless?😲In that case,why are u calling only female protagonists characterless?Call those men also characterless because they are also sleeping with a gal before marriage.Again why put the blame only on a woman when a man is also equally involved in it?

Pre-marital sex? 😲 Indian TV shows show women don't even want to have sex with their husbands .. 'coz its a big no-no .. yeah babies fall from the sky!
