While Apu’s personality is filled with determination and strength to speak up against injustice towards herself and others, she faces the trouble of having a family who does not understand or look at life in a similar light as hers. Patriarchy in India is no fiction, and while many can’t help but bow down to it, here we have a winner. Like many others in the country, Apu faces gender bias at several points in life while growing up but does not give in to them. She protests against all sorts of such discrimination that takes place around her. Her drive to protest and speak up on what is wrong shall also act as a huge inspiration for other young boys and girls to learn from. Instead of quietly accepting unjust approaches, young people, especially girls, will find a source of strength in standing up for what they believe is unacceptable.
