Re: Miss Razia - Telefilm on Hum Tv
But who was making her life miserable with all the snide remarks about her not getting married? All the women in the drama.
Her bhabhi takes all her salary, makes her do all the household chores and still treats her like trash. A woman.
Her colleagues at school make fun of her. all women! So it seems as if inadvertently they showed a woman oppressed by other women and ‘rescued’ by a chivalrous male at the end.
And at some level, doesn’t it reinforce the idea that marriage is the only positive end of a woman’s life. I have nothing against marriage, but there are a lot of women out there who for one reason or another cannot get married. They don’t have such a ‘happy ending’ in their lives, should they despair? I remember there were some teachers at our school who were old and were still single and almost all the girls made fun of them and said cruel things about them. And then everyone said they are so strict because there are single! Yeah, maybe if you undergo a life of ridicule for something that’s not in your hand, maybe you would become like that too. I for one don’t understand why women are so cruel and harsh towards their own kind.
Also I didn’t get the point of her doing away with her dupatta. Does taking duppata off your head makes you more liberated, more attractive? Could she not have had a make over without taking it off? What’s the message that they are trying to convey here? That a duppata is sign of oppression and makes you unattractive?
