Scene from the movie 'Mother India'.

This is a very well known song from the movie 'Mother India'. This song shows us the audience how Nargis (Radha) is working hard with her children on the farms. Here there is a lack of a father figure, which therefore makes Nargis look domiante and superioir. The way in which we can relate this study back to my text 'Provoked' is that we can say they both are showing a lack of fatherly figure, as in Provoked Aishwarya kills her husband in the beginning and in 'Mother India' there father dies (Nargis's husband). Furthermore we can also say that in 'Mother India' we see 3 childrens, which can be related to my study as in 'Provoked' Aishwarya has got 2 children. This is a key thing, the reason for this being is because the children would probably view their mothers as being 'dominant' and as the 'breadwinner'.

Lastly, we can also say that both the actresses (Nargis and Aishwarya) were precived as being typical houswives, looking at their clothing, they are seen as tyical Indian houswives. This also reflects back to my study as normally we annotate 'Houswives' to being seen as inferioir and they have a cheap labour. This is also reflected back to the society we are living in, as now females are seen as being independant and dominate in their own ways.
