When I had made the post during Tadaka vadha I had highlighted the aspect why Ram killed a woman. Why he was forced to do it. Today once again we are going to touch that topic, albeit a little different way.
Because Tadaka was an outsider. But today Shatrughna dealt with his step mother and her elderly dasi.
We see a complete lack of respect from him in dealing with these 2 women. A noble young man behaves rashly rudely. He chases a elderly woman and he is willing to raise his sword against his step mother.
In many families women like Kaikeyi and Manthara get away with the tag of being mother, being elderly after doing all the damage. You just need to watch some hindi TV soaps to see this phenomenon. Inside the family these so called elderly woman can do any rubbish, destroy other's dreams for their power hunger, use emotional blackmail and they are to be respected.
Look at the dialogue Kaikeyi uses Raghukul hi maryada doesnt allow you to behave such way to a woman. It is not right. And what Shatrughna says you have lost the right to talk about dharma adharma . That was a very powerful statement. One who does adharma does not have the right to stop another in the name of so called sanskaar. And the one neednt listen to it also, the way Shatrughnan was today.
If it is a woman or a man if they do adharma whether inside family or outside family they have to punished. We need to know that Lord decided to take care of the outside world while he left his brothers to cleanse the inside. That's how a family should function. Duties has to be shared for that you need to have same values. Unfortunately that is what a family today lacks. No common value system which the Ayodhya brothers and Mithila sisters had.
And last line of Shatrughna I was like doob maro Kaikeyi " aapka ram, mera bharat". I will forget you are bharat bhaiyya's mother.
