Internet appreciated her journey

Conclusion

Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Netflix movie ‘Serious Man’, mentions how it takes generations to bridge the gap of social difference, particularly caste or class discrimination. Here, it took almost two generations. The third generation is proud and poised in sharing their achievements and opinion. This is the grit which makes people do great things in life in themselves in particular, and then set an example for society as a whole.

But, we are far from being an egalitarian society in terms of education and other basic necessities. There is so much to do and achieve. And, this can be a great start to having intent and doing more.
