All mothers are not unselfish. One only has to open the newspaper to see how many mothers (and fathers) fail their children in the most awful ways. Whether that's marrying the children off with no consent, or differentiated upbringing for a boy and girl child, stopping a girl's education because "what more does she need to know other than cooking and looking pretty anyway", or forcing children to keep quiet about sexual assault because "log kya kahenge".
Mothers are human at the end of the day too. Let us not glorify their role as it puts undue pressure on women to conform to some great "ideal".
U are right ....mothers can be conservative ...orthodox ... selfish sometimes like kind of places you spoke abt where they don’t realise that...but it is just that they never showed Babita like that ever...she def was not the modern types ...she did shout at Mini for always being the gutsy girl or for being too bold....but she was too much in support of MINI aswell and they had shown her change with time ...like she takes karate lessons when she feels Mini is right abt being self dependent...independent ...or then abt her studying further or taking photography lessons...they have also shown her to be very caring towards Mini...not the selfish types who could marry her off to anyone ...infact she herself had gone thru that so that wud never had been in her mind ....she always kept Mini’s happiness over hers...there are so many episodes incidents I can recall...the only issue here is instead of showing the positive effect of second marriage they showed the negative impact 😀😀 ...
