The entire nation worships Ram, and Ram not only forced his wife Seeta to go through the fire test(what a strange idea that fire can judge a woman's fidelity! Fire burns, damn it, whether you are Ram, Ravan, or Seeta) to prove her fidelity but even after the fire test, he expelled pregnant Seeta to live in the forest on her own! Today, if any man emulates Ram and expels his pregnant wife into the forest, the society will be up in arms against him, he would be taken to court,, but people worship Ram!Seeta had chosen to go with Ram when he was exiled, but when Seeta was exiled, Ram chose not to go with her. He chose the throne of Ayodhya over Seeta, his dear wife.If he was such a loving husband, he could have easily let Laxman, Bharat and Shatrughn take care of Ayodhya and accompanied Seeta into the jungle. But he did not. I do not know if you have read the 'Valmiki Ramayana', the one that precedes Tulsi Das's 'Ram Charit Manas' and considered more believable. After Ram kills Ravan and Seeta is brought to him, he addresses Seeta in words any woman would have found offensive. He says, and I quote, 'Woman!(notice, not 'Dear Seeta or 'My Darling Seeta', of 'My Wife Seeta',but 'Woman!') Do not think that I fought Ravan for your sake, I fought Ravan for the honor of my family('kul ki maryada ke liye Ravan se yuddh kiya!'). And the whole world, specially you women, find Ram an ideal husband, worship him. And my poor Ashutosh who unwittingly, if wrongly, let Mallika play her tricks because of his loyalty to her as a friend, is cast as an insensitive husband? Before you cast a stone at my Ashutosh, please look at your Ram carefully.I have nothing against Ram. I like him as a character in a great epic. I like him because he always stays within his character, his 'maryada', whether he is right or wrong. I like him for his uprightness and inherent goodness. But when it comes to his wife Seeta, I have many unanswered questions. I cannot agree with what he did to Seeta. If Ramayana was a daily soap written by Valmiki and I was a fan like you people, I would be writing to Valmiki about Ram the same way you have been writing to me about Ashutosh:)
