Interpretation and speculations have been going for years as traditions.
If nobody has read and studied the scriptures, then no comment on that because all seen on tv are fanfictions.
but even all the interpretations are different cause of the personal view of the writer.
@Bold, this is absolutely true.
I think the good thing with this generation is that they have started questioning things. slowly but surely.
My mom, even my dad, are very open minded and do not follow any stupid rituals or anything.
But somethings are so ingrained.
like, i remember once my mom had her chums and there was a pooja at my uncles place, she asked me to get the prasad and when i questioned her, she said, "mujhe nahi pata aisa kyun hain, lekin meri mummy kehti thi, aur ab adat si ho gyi hain"
When i grew older, and questioned her again, she realised that this has no logic and stopped following it. I never followed this stupid "ritual".
