No, Surbhi, death by the sword in a duel with Anusuya would have been an honourable one, not the punishment reserved for a man who, besides all his other crimes, had almost killed the king. There is no question of bahaduri here. This is not a duel, it is an execution.

Shivdutt nearly killing the king was high treason. For that, in medieval Europe, Shivdutt would have been hung drawn and quartered, ie have his legs and arms tied to four different horses, which were then whipped to top speed so that he would have been literally torn into four pieces. In medieval India, especially in the north, traitors were flayed alive, and in the south, they were buried up to the neck in the ground and had their heads knocked off by an elephant.

Compared to all that, Shivdutt got off relatively easily. Ravana is burnt alive at Dussehra, is he not, he is not killed in a duel with Lord Rama.

My only objections were to his being shown in that ghastly close up, not at all the thing to show in a 8 pm show watched by kids, and secondly, as to where those ganikas go hold of an inflammable liquid. No such thing existed in 4th century BC India or Europe or China, any more than the bombs that Puru's companions tossed into the arena in Persia.😆

Finally, it was possible to corner Shivdutt only because his soldiers had already been killed by Chanakya's poison. Now poison is a coward's weapon. But clearly there was no way out, so it had to be done that way. Not that I can visualise a poison that is harmless to the touch but deadly only if it touches the tongue!😉

But talwar se bhi toh maar sakti thi na anusuya challenge karke...anusuya was capable of that...yun baandh kar jinda jalane mein kaun si bahudari hain...kisi ko bhi jinda jalana hain is so inhuman...i agree he deserved death...but jaise mili woh bahut acha nahi laga,,,,,,and then they put his face on display. I felt disgusted instead of being happy that he died finally. Haan basically itna jyaada...i cant tolerate anything.
