Pornography is a product and it has a target audience, for that purpose their needs to be pornographic material. <br /><br />I agree, that there could have been other liberal ways of solving Savita's problem but we are not dealing with the subject of a novel here. Its porn. <br /><br />Secondly, Savita is a woman of the lower middle class. In the context of the functioning of the institution of arranged marriages in India, their is a great ratio of women who do keep struggling with their marriage inspite of "incompatibility" with the partner (and mostly domestic violence) simply because of the distance their is between justice and the court in our country. <br /><br />In such a circumstances, their might be an odd case or two (or many)where an incestual relationship may develop. <br /><br />In that sense, the whole plot has a bit of realism to it. I hope you agree.Arpit Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084428387344671252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421613196770564251.post-65859025221846648232010-06-28T20:53:47.380+05:302010-06-28T20:53:47.380+05:30Perhaps the solutions in the end could've been...Perhaps the solutions in the end could've been chalked out in greater detail? Though it is, almost always, more difficult to chalk out a solution and the countours of the progression to it than the stating of the problems for which it's required- and perhaps that's why talking as much of the solution, if not more, is of no mean importance.<br /><br />Also, I don't quite see how turning to your brother-in-law for sexual satiety makes one the "face of freedom and a face of India's liberals". I would have supposed that applying for divorce on grounds of incompatibility would've been a really emancipated and 'free' thing to do, not screwing over with other people and maintaining the guise of fidelity all along. It's another thing to be sexually deviant and enjoy it and another to have the courage to break out of an unsatisfying marriage.APhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861449757599870039noreply@blogger.com
