Why the saffron brigade and the pseudo-religious always draw lines and preach in their earnest self-righteousness. And every single time they totally miss the point. Coming back to the thought, well I agree on so many levels and believe you me, had started working on a modern day story which just wanted to shed light on the bigger picture on the events of Ramayana. Until the disastruous Raavan came into being. Every one who walks on earth is a mortal, a human. The puritans might have their views, but Ram was a mortal. Just debating on a 'purely human' point of view, Ram was a king, a husband, a father and a son. In a social and marital context his role(as a husband and a father) is ambiguous and utterly flawed. Personal opinion and I don't want someone knocking at my doorstep with copies of ancient literature. From a humanitarian point of view Raavan was wronged(as a brother) and a false monster was created which has survived in pop myth for centuries. But one needs to see beyond and be neutral and not think of those 'pre-destined leelas' for a moment to see the point in this write.:)Congratulations Nikeeta and would look forward to read more.Sumeet Panigrahihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13139379946080368139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201763639078300916.post-49266799480768534562011-11-23T11:59:16.148+05:302011-11-23T11:59:16.148+05:30i have always believed that religion and theology ...i have always believed that religion and theology ought to be debated and deliberated. and nothing is ever a final edict written in stone. and unless this continues there would never be any growth, beyond the doctrines of brahmanical belief, interpretation, and even misguided mischief that have perpetrated vision of communities over time. best. anandoanandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073091395307507767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201763639078300916.post-92225239771788979712011-11-17T02:34:10.959+05:302011-11-17T02:34:10.959+05:30Truce...!!!this post was not about Ram the husban...Truce...!!!this post was not about Ram the husband, it was about Raavan the brother. Although, now I'm very tempted to write about Ram the husband. There are various books, by various equally distinguished writers such as Valmiki, everyone has their own take. I've read quite a few, in fact I suggest Raavan Sutra for a well rounded perspective on the issue .As many characters, those many perspectives. :) as many readers those many views too...with understanding do doubt.nikeetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09890542529934473058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201763639078300916.post-51460668136456198232011-11-16T22:02:15.041+05:302011-11-16T22:02:15.041+05:30hey jatayu,

So reading all the eulogies of RAM does not make him "GOD" and infallible ... and moreover you should read and re-read the passage carefully it talks about the greatness and graciousness of ravan , also this is just an illustration of a protective brother-sister relationship... reference to the ramayan or any text eulogizing that king is just a reference point ... i think Mr Ashu should open his mind and look into other perspectives that exists and is relevant and contemporary...jatayuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09879733152158938661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201763639078300916.post-25622796301386878232011-11-15T22:15:12.173+05:302011-11-15T22:15:12.173+05:30Each character in mythology was built to teach som...Each character in mythology was built to teach some lessons.There are lessons to be learnt from Ram to Ravaan.

WELL this passage has the guts galls to call spade a spade and is eloquent and brave enough to unveil the 'god mask' of that stupid king whose wife faced the consequences of his failings ....
