It has been quite long that CVs are making masaladar daily soap demeaning the glory of an epic - a literature .. Today they murdered another thing i.e HISTORY and I am not talking about Mytho-History but pure history here

What the heck it was in the name of Hidimba-Bheem wedding. It looked some uncultured brute or foolish creature from some fairy tale are jumping and doing silly attributes making silly gesture n postures .. what a disgusting way to make mockery of something. You showed rakshas as some dull headed creatures .. who has no brain no education and laughing stalk to so called developed race.

Let me remind you RAKSHASH means Non-Aryan Natives of this country. A very developed clan as much as Aryans if not more. Check History Rakshash aka non Aryans were quite advance in cultural field along with architecture, science and by social measure. do Not forget Rakshas aka non Aryan natives who once established "Indus valley civilization" was acquainted with URBAN civilization what Aryans was not. They have been mocked tortured and demeaned for ages but what is this even in modern days you people portraying them with such mean ways.

You must think what message you are giving to the new gen watching it. By being the native of our country they should be respected as our ancestors but such dishonoring depiction is a shame of us that still entertainment world display them nothing but a dull headed brainless creature..

Hmmm , a very thought provoking post Mimiji .. I was feeling so disgusted at that time ... If not about history they could've remembered Raavan atleast ..

These CVs are themselves brainless chimpoos ... I felt like as if I'm watching a gond tribe or santhali tribe dance ...

santhali tribe dance is better.. it has beautiful rhythm.. there's no comparison between these two.. They're insulting the great epic by making it a gibberish..

Those who are too much busy to glorify Bibhishan Do u think they have any knowledge about our epics?? 😡 Let alone thinking of Ravaan..

PS. In Bengali language Bibhisan is synonymous of treacherous.

Yes, but I think its unfair to say that all of India was urbanized in non-vedic times or that all non-Aryans were considered Rakshas - remember Ravan was very much a Vedic scholar and worshiped chief Hindu deities. Non-Aryans were more generally known as Mlechhas, that included both indigenous tribes as well as foreigners like Greeks and East Asians. Further, Rakshasas may also refer to pirates and feudal communities that lived on plunder and loot (as opposed to actual demons), who were then turned into mythical figures through folklore.

The point is Non Aryan civilizations of pre vedic age were city based. City based civilization DOESN'T mean the whole India was urbanized but that the center of civilization is urbanized

Ex. Harappa, Mohenjodaro, kalibangan etc..

Mlechhas means barbaric that is people who lives across the SEA ..

I'm a student of History. I never read Rakshasas refer to pirates..

Aryan used to call people with shorter height, darker skin tone [native of this country] Rakshas.

There is a clear DIFFERENCE in Mlecchas and Rakshah. Mlecchas were outsiders while Rakshas were the native of the land and the pirate thing entered in INDIAN history much later.

Another thing to clear the fact Mleccha n Rakshash and this terms was invented by Aryans .. and they were portrayed like evil creatures or dull headed demons to glorify Aryan history .. our 1st epic is an example

Yes. Ravaan was a great scholar indeed.. but He was a mixture of Aryan n Non-Aryan blood .. his father was a Brahman n mother Non Aryan .. he was an example of early time mixture .. he is known in his mother's clan identity i.e RAKSHASH. And we get vivid picture of how Rakshahs had a blooming urbanized civilization .. Lanka was a highly developed and well planned city thus it was called "Golden Lanka" while Aryan civilization was all village based
