[edit] Why they didn't marry

Was is not because of issues of caste? Paro was from the dancing girl caste and they forced her to marry into the landlord (warrior) caste (I'm not sure about Dev's caste). There was also something about "girl sellers" (since most Indian society requires the girl's family to pay the boy's family before marriage, but Paro's family was different). The acting, music, directing, and story are incredible! Zyxoas (talk to me - I'll listen) 20:24, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure... I've only seen this version and the 1955 version... but, this version makes it seem like colonial power is an issue--the rank and status associated with it. I think the simplest explanation is just that the father doesn't think her family is good enough and doesn't want it. I haven't read (a translation of) the book so... I'm not sure how it's dealt with there. So, family respect? and in the 2002 version he gets angry and leaves... and doesn't take her because of a certain respect for his family (and then there's then note) and her family pride gets her married off to a 'better' family. :( gren グレン 05:31, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

The ending is brilliant as his hands flutter and the flower petals fall. It reminded me of the ballet 'The dying Swan' when the Russian ballet great Pavlova flutters her hands at the end of the ballet as the swan dies. (glynis.davies@gmail.com) 29.03.07. Western Australia
