The old women take out their frustrations from their daughter- in-laws for their own mental and heart satisfaction and ruin the lives of their own son’s family. (Woman is the biggest enemy of woman).
Some traditional women make their own son realize that you are men you have self ego, your head should not be down in front of your wife. From the starting of the marriage, some traditional women advice to their son to keep your wives under your clutches. They should not have freedom to do anything on their own.
In Balika Vadhu, nowdays famous T.V. serial, the serial’s characters Basant and Dadi Saa play a realistic role in front of viewers. This will help in changing the mental status of traditional women and egoistic, boosted, angry men specially for those men who think women are just like cows who give birth to their generation and work like servants and if they are not able to give birth to their generation they say she has some defect. They will give taunts, look how she is surviving or she should sent to her parents house etc.
Many T.V. serials came to change the mind of the viewers and to show the viewers what is happening in the society. Balika vadhu is becoming famous and interesting day by day.
Balika Vadhu is a good inspiration to the now days traditional environment which has not been removed as yet. By seeing this serial, this can help in removing the social evils from the roots of the society.
Ballika Vadhu is a story about child marriage , they way they have scripted is very nice, it depicts the harsh reality of child marriage and how small kids life are affected by it. I personally felt this concept is much better than the regular saas – bahu saga.
The story’s main character is Anandi.
Anandi in Balika Vadhu
Anandi, the child heroine is projected as a typical child, believing everyone and everything and we are going to see how she grows up slowly – how she is going to change. It is going to be happy/sad mixture – happy to see how she copes up with the situations, sad to see her suffering while facing the problems, the negative side of people, she has to deal with. Now she thinks if she lies, her nose will bloat! She feels sad for small things and within seconds, with the next sentence, she forgets everything and is happy again.
The incidents which are shown in the serial are still happening. The girls are not allowed to go to school, or allowed to go to school till they are 10-11 years old. Afterwards they are asked to do household work. Like daadisa says – first Anandi has to learn to cook and take care of the house. Anandi has got a good mother in law – best mother in law – who is there to protect her like a mother always. I liked the way Anandi said when Jagdish was eating slowly – we should eat food slowly for it to get digested easily – with a big smiling face because her stomach was full!
Not only backward small cities, In big metropolitan cities, some parents marry their daughters at the age of 17, if they are getting a rich man proposal (they don’t bother if the girl is graduate or not) just thinking that the girl will be happy. They don’t look the family background (whether the previous daughter-in-laws are happy or not) and force the girl to live and adjust in that house.
Once the girl is settled and has given birth to children, she thinks this is now her own house and sacrifices her own life. The girl becomes an obedient wife of her husband and the husband and his greedy family members take advantage of this. In some families, if one family member is working, rest of the family members will enjoy his earnings and if the brother’s of the earning member are greedy, they will create misunderstandings between husband and wife and mother-in-law. The head of the family will take side of the greedy brothers to satisfy her own needs and frustration. They will get her tortured both mentally and physically by her husband and mother-in-law will give taunts to her.
One day when children grow up and say how you are living in such type of environment and loosing your respect. The girl who become now woman thinks now it’s the high time to leave the house and make my own self-respect and bright future. When she feels that dogs are respected more than her and other family members, her own husband thinks that she is an orphan.
