Arrogant Raavan,Rude guests, Saviors Ram&Lakshman

Hi nice to see this post. Very opt and precise and at the same time with hilarious touch. Thank you! 😊Yes, Ravan could not digest his failure as the grapes he tried to reap turned out to be sour. So immediately he turned his attention from the Bow to the custodian of the bow by calling him a cheat as he would have done some tricks, if not for his tricks, there can't be any reason for him, the greatest Bhakt of Shiv for not been able to lift the bow. And Janak has organized the Swayamvar for not his daughter but for an orphan he got from the earth and who doesn't know her origin... That was a blow below the belt Totally agreed! The comment was way below the belt and totally uncalled for. And how in the world did he know that in the first place? and Janak though hurt gave a serving reply by asking him to accept his inability to lift the bow as there is no shame in that but you have no rights what so ever to insult my daughter. That was a smooth move, way to tell someone to shut up without disrespecting them! Loved you to core Sir, take a bow. and in that moment while Ravan was insulting Sita's origin, I could see an repulsive feeling even on Chandrabhaga's face as if, given a chance, she will slap him tight and stop his nonsense then and there for insulting their daughter. Thank you mam for that love you nurture for your daughter. I wonder, the sisters didnt look so surprised when Raavan told them Sita was adopted. I would have thought they would have been surprised at least. Or look at their sister...

And for the other kings, they wanted to save their face by showing their muscle power in duel, so that they were not called as weaklings. Added to that for them Sita, just looked too appeasing to loose and so they wanted a reason to get her for themselves. If a king who could not even hold his hand firm (shaking hands while he tried to touch the bow), wants to win over Sita, will others miss the bus? If I am right, only one king stood against all those and said no I am not going to support u guys in the war, but the rest were yelling away about their fake respect. Any man who starts a war just being one women didnt get married to them isnt a man at all, he is a coward.

Maharshi Vishwamithra had already knew that Ram & Sita are for each other but yet again, he didn't ask Ram to string the bow and win Sita but he ordered his student to string the bow and relieve King Janak from the insults aimed at him. Honestly, I am starting to see a fatherly figure for Ram and Lakshman in him. Those two have been with him for so long now that he cares so much for them, and u can see pride for them in his eyes.

Ravan is like that supposed to be star performer in youth festival who unfortunately didn't get the prize( Well for him anyways Sita was trophy, not a lady). Then instead of their bad performance they will find fault with jury, their decision, will go for appeal and they will say things in such a way finally the competition might end up becoming a court case , with genuine participants languishing in the whole mess.

Or you can say like some of our politicians. Any chance for controversy run there. Make merry at some other's expense.

I was happy that the entire family of Raja Janak stood united with him. But it also showed the need for change. Janak had ruled his subjects with Ahimsa, non- violence. But in the prevailing circumstances where men like Ravan were manipulating idiotic morons for their selfish needs fear of arm combat was necessary. Hence entry of Ram-Lakshman which was also a scene where one principle was being handed over to another principle that suited the times.

Principle didn't change, but Ram-Lakshman were better equipped to apply it for the prevailing circumstances.

You are totally right and I love how you compared them all.
I think ram and lakshman will play a hand in getting their army ready; even though they do have one but im sure if ram annd lakshman train janaks army then no one will dare come and disgrace how ravan did and get way with it. The fact that if you are nice u should have a stern side too will eventually come up for janak, but right now I think hes just worried that his daughter is not going to get married since no one was able to pick up the danush. I really liked how u described everything, it toally fits.

Hi, there is no need fro Ram & Lakshman to train Janak's army as he has full pledge army but they don't indulge in fights as they are peace loving people. When it comes to save their land and people, they are ready to fight an dthat is what Kushadwaj told the crowd that they should not take their love for peace as their weakness. Thuis has been already established by Kushadwaj by defeating Sudhanva.

For them, at the moment the pain their daughter undergoing is more compared to the insult the other kings and Lankeshwar did to them. So when they heard just the word, yes fight war will happen, they were a bit worried and when they heard the Rishi completely that the crowd have to fight the 2 warriors, they were amazed and on hearing their identity, they were relieved. Now they don't worry either about the kings insulting words or about their daughter's future as they are assured that Rishi Vishwamithra will not bring some good for nothing people and boost. they have already heard about these princes stories about how they killed tadaka and her son.
