A 24-year-old woman in Bhopal reached family court after facing defeat several times in ludo game by her father. According to family court counsellor, Sarita Rajani during lockdown period, the woman, her two siblings and their father used to play the board game. After losing a game, the young woman developed resentment against her father, which increased over time and the family had to undergo counselling sessions to resolve the issue.
 
“A 24-year-old woman had come to us and said that when she was playing ludo with her siblings and father, her father killed her tokens (goti) and she felt it was a breach of trust. She said she had trusted her father a lot and did not expect to be defeated by him,” said Rajani. The counsellor then said, “Her father defeated her several times in the game. Her rage increased and she stopped addressing him as father. She has been counselled four times till now and the situation is improving.
 
We will find a positive solution,” she added. “Nowadays, children are unable to endure defeat which is why such cases come up. They need to learn to accept defeat which is as important as winning,” added Rajani. Rajani said the girl did not share her feelings with her family and decided to seek counselling about the matter. She said the young woman is currently pursuing her studies and the family lives in Bhopal. The girl does not have a mother and she is youngest of three siblings. “People have high expectations from family members and if there is a slight shortcoming, it causes tension. Nowadays, children cannot face defeat,” she added.
