So I live in tire 3 city in India and my father is of very patriarchal and conservative mindset and adding to that he is narcissistic and emotionally manipulative… when I was a kid I was shit scared of him , back then I didn’t know of anxiety and panic attacks but in his presence I would feel both like literally my heart would race like a tiger and I could feel it , he has bad temper and he is basically a manchild a mumma’s boy and his mom is a bitch
So from childhood I had known that I have to get away from him because of that I was very good in studies till 10th class after class 10 I decided to go for PCM -non medical and prepare for IIT , so for that I begged him to change my school (my mom supported me because even the teacher of my previous school said to change the school)and get me an admission in any institute but then he decided to send to another school for preparation (that school use to charge extra for iit classes )
This is where my life took a 360 degree revolt , when I changed my school my father left his established business and give it to his brother and he didn’t even use to go to shop ( we had well established sweet and catering business) and started doing real estate so during this time I was not able to understand any thing in school and not do I had any friends and the teachers use to taunt me and one teacher didn’t even like me . After that I started taking online classes from school to cover my backups but my mind was very disturbed and just couldn’t focus because there would be fight every day at home and cheery on top was this incident during my exam when my father attacked my mother with his shoes while she was sitting because she didn’t give a bag to his mother… I couldn’t talk or sleep and next day was my exam and then after days everything got normal
Then I somehow managed to pass my class 12 with 70.4 and couldn’t crack jee so my uncle (mom’s brother) come in my hellish life and told my father that don’t get her admission in b.tech course as after marriage girls have to do the household work and kids so she will not be able to job nor will she find any and you are just wasting money on her . So I did NM bsc from a government college and I was in a miserable state at that time I was getting painc attacks and all I use to drink was coffee, I lost about 5 kg of weight and my eyes went dull and I was too low on iron and my FA TH ER cannot see all this so next year I changed my course because couldn’t continue this one I did ba economics honours and I am not doing well in it ,but I use to travel through and one day one conductor touched my breast 3-4 times , while I was struggling in the crowd…. And after this I got freeze and just came back home lost completely I didn’t cry I was just so lost and feeling miserable for days I thought about this incident and understand why I reacted that way
I am detached from my father and once I am out of this house I will not come back to his house
I cannot even continue I feel so overwhelmed but just wanted to get it out my thoughts… I would like to know your thoughts my father and his family always told me that I am overreacting look at the children in the street …
Thanks for reading

I have seen theories online claiming he was gay and his father called him impotent …. And there was a scene I guess the drug deal with pinda where pinda does some hand gesture and Iqbal winked or smiled at him💁🏻

I was reading a book called the psychology of terrorism by John Horgan and in that book Horgan stated that terrorists are a result of a very disturbing environment- socially oppressed, financially struggling ….but after a point of time some of these people realise on their own that what they are doing is wrong and left this . Basically he blamed the government and institutions for not being responsible for these citizens
So I was watching Dhurandhar 2 and this thing came to my mind that the character of Major Iqbal is somewhat more disturbing inside then on the surface of course the father angle is there but here are some points that came to my mind:

A psychopath is born with a neurological difference. The circuitry for empathy, fear, and emotional bonding is structurally absent or severely reduced from birth. They don't suppress feelings. They simply don't have the hardware for certain feelings in the first place.
This means a psychopath cannot be held fully responsible in the way we normally understand responsibility. They were built this way. The coldness is not a choice — it's a factory setting.
But Iqbal is a man with completely normal emotions architecture- he loved his daughter and he knew that his father was just a piece of s\*\*t and hated him .

Iqbal is a product of circumstance, choice, and time. Every layer of coldness was added by something — a father's contempt, a military culture, an ideology, a gradual moral escalation, a mission that never ended. Each layer was added on top of a fully feeling human being who was in there the whole time.
The horror of Iqbal is not that he felt nothing.
The horror is that he felt everything — and the world he was born into was so completely wrong that every feeling he had got converted into destruction.
But here is where i contradict my point he had the choice to be different but somehow he chooses to be this ass\*\*\*e.
I also have some questions regarding this character

Was Iqbal a conscious monster or a broken man? Genuine question.

Iqbal's love for his daughter was real or It was also a weapon aimed at his father or Both things are true?

I am studying psychology so that’s why these deep questions and observations. I have to make a report on them so I choose this topic… do answer my questions I will add your opinion in my report 😽

So I watched dhurandhar ( both parts) about 5 times and these are the differences I noticed about Major Iqbal’s character in both movies: 1) Major Iqbal in part 1 had that mysterious and menacing aura around him because of the way he was introduced “inki izzazat k Bina pakistani siyasat ka ek patta bhi nhi hiil skta” but in part 2 he was shown as a smaller piece in hierarchy like he was just a loyalist to bade Shaab and without Dawood he is nothing.
2) In part 2 he was shown as a man of wrong who knows that what it feels like to be a victim of situations but still choose to take the wrong way but this is what makes the difference, in part 1 he was a MONSTER he was shown as a fu\*\*ing psychopath who just enjoys killing people , torturing them but in part 2 they added the backstory of his father which was meant to explain how he become this piece of shit but the problem is the way the it has shown - the character contradicts itself - in part 1 the monster that was shown would never tolerate his shit father who curse him so much all day and night long and also knowing that he betrayed his own country but in part 2 he was just shown as a hurt child who loves his disabled daughter ( i guess just to show his father and piss him off, also adding to this I don’t think a character like major Iqbal could ever love someone who is less capable given his upbringing)

I think this character is not handled properly it was a writing mistake - the way this character was introduced like the character contradicts itself too many times

Also this is my first Reddit post ✌🏻and I just wanted to know how good my analysis skills are😽
