Why do I say this? She was fully responsible for the death of Amarendra Bahubali? But, does that erase that she looked after this kingdom for years? No. But, she is the epitome of justice according to the system. There. If you go by today's ways, she is not. If you go by the world Maahishmati is set in, yes. The situation of Maahishmati was no good before she entered. It was worse, very much. She came, how much the situation changed I'm not sure. But there should be a reason why people revered her so much. She ruled with justice, but wasn't a leader. Her job of Rajamatha, that she did. But still people had a lot of problems for which they wanted Baahu as the king.
Where do I see she cared for people? When the elephant was creating trouble, why should she ask for Katappa to save people and not her? Why should she treat Baahu and Bhalla equal? We often forget that what Baahu as a man is today, is also because of Sivagami's teachings. The day she asked does he want Devasena or the kingdom while knowing the kingdom required a king like Baahu, she did it because she saw Baahu out of control in her view, her ego was hurt. She loved Bahu very much and to see the same son not follow her words hurt her, to see that she could also be wrong hurt her. Why? Because in so many years she was never pointed wrong or didn't she commit any mistake as Rajmatha. Before she did, but when Rajmatha did she really? Along with the epitome of justice, she is a mother too. For a change the mother in her took over.
When she orders Baahu to be killed without any Rajya Sabha, because people would revolt. But doesn't ask so for Bhalla, because who would revolt? She is political and works so. Rajneeti is what she used, and where Rajneeti is forget dharma. Politics came because it was about the throne, but when dealing with People she simply followed as in the constitution of Maahishmati which has many flaws. What I would like to see is did she ever add a touch of dharma to it?
For me, she was simply the epitome of justice who committed a grave mistake. Maybe, I'm wrong. For this we'll have to wait for the books to release.
As in with Katappa, it was a flaw of the system, and because he didn't go against the flaw, he too is fully responsible for Baahu's death. Sivagami tried to redeem herself with her death. Katappa is repenting since 25 years and will continue for his life. Bhalla burnt in the fire, in the hands of Devasena. A very huge blow to his ego.
The character I hated the most was Bijjaladeva's. His idiotic and disgusting vengeance that he filled in Bhalla's head led to the dark ages of Maahishmati.
