I heard that Indra is not any name of person but name of position...So , is it true that each and every Indra are shrewd and wicked because in every show I found that Indradev is evil?
And if its true then I guess Shani was right when he said that the fault was not in the person but in the throne and power of being the King of the gods that as soon as the person sits on the throne , he changes...
I really found Indradev much better when he was not the king...Also Suryadev also changed as a person when he was the king...

So , whatever we see in shows , it is according to puranas...I always wonder that inspite of being a dev , how can he be so evil? may be writers overdo everything...😆
