Another one that literally broke me today.a woman irrespective of being crowned queen never complained being sidelined for her husband second wife,a woman who treated her souten's like her sisters, a woman who was forced to give her daughter a life of ascetic was revelling in the happiness which she thought the fate had bought her.her son's crowning ceremony. To that mother ram tells crown is not his niyati. That question of kausalya carried all her pain and anguish of years. It was just a sentence but it carried the weight of a woman's hope which she knew was about to be dashed. Hope keeps us going and today it was that hope kausalya was denied.and actually it is to ensure hope doesn't die in her Urmila stays back.because if kausalya's hope dies then ayodhya cannot survive .because at every adverse turn this lady had given ayodhya hope. And that is why ram is steadiying



her.She has to take this for the sake of ayodhya again and keep her hope alive

I agree with you, Shruthi.
Kausalya is all-tolerating, and accepted everything with grace, elegance and true fortitude. Now, when she needs the hope, we have another woman, pretty similar in character(except for the fierceness 😆) giving her hope. You know, it was originally said that Maharaj Dasharath married Sumitra and Kaikeyi on the pretext of begetting children. But Kausalya had Shanta; she could give birth, Dasharath had no rights to bring two new wives.
Yet, she bore all this, with love and patience, keeping her anguish locked away.
Kausalya is a remarkable woman, and I bow down to her, for her sacrifice and love, as well as her hope to look for light in the dark.

@shrutha exactly the point. See it also shows a bias which still persists that it is the woman who decides the gender of the child. Kausalya had shanta a girl, but not a boy. So 2 more marriages. The crux here is boy which Kausalya is not able to provide.
We still see in our society woman are blamed for the gender of the child while it is scientifically proven that they have no role, it is man's chromosome that decides baby will be male or female. Still in rural areas life of many a woman is made hell based on this.

@Shruthi: Kaushalya- a beautiful Gem with no shine.
What a women who shared everything including her husband and son with Kaikeyi!!!!
Kaikeyi was not satisfied with what she got, so she ended up losing the love and affection from both her husband and bharath.
Lord Vishnu chose Kaushalya to be his biological mom as she had the divine soul.

Seriously Kaushalya was a great woman indeed.
She was a woman who silently sacrificed her husband,daughter and son and never asked anything in return.She is the archetypal symbol of mother.A god could have been born to a woman of such high moral conduct..
wasn't kausalya a pricess of kosala??which again is ruled by dasarath?was it given in dowry?

Yes Ramya. He chose Kausalya for her purity of mind and noble thoughts. He wanted people to acknowledge Kausalya and through his actions he ensured she got it as the woman who gave birth to the noblest man who was born to the Ishkavu clan.
And he send his destructive weapon Sudarshan to kaikeyi womb to take her pride. Bharath does exactly that. Actually the soft spoken, shy son turns into a man possessed by rage and anguish

@antika yes Kausalya belongs to Kosala kingdom, but I was not sure whether Dasrath got it as dowry or it can be also that if Kausalya had no brothers, after her father's death Ayodhya took over it.

@Shruthi: True. I want to see how SKR portrays the anger of Bharath. The actor playing the role of bharath seems to be amul baby 😆.
I am waiting to see the convo b/w them and not to be pre-judgemental😉

Kaushalya was the princess of Dhakshina Kosala and Dhasarath ruled uttara Kosala. I read somewhere (no ref maybe in Valmiki's Ramayan), that the dakshina kosala was given to dhasarath during his marriage.

So indirectly it means that the kingdom belongs to Kausalya and only she had the right to be Maharani,so there also she was deprived!😡
