8 Jun written -Shatrughan & Laxman defeated by L K

Jai Sri Ram. Shatrughan had come to know that Kush Luv are the boys who had snatched their horse. He tries to convince them that they shud return the horse and he shall make arrangements to meet Lord Ram. But the boys were not convinced and they reply very boldly that SriRam Chandr ji shud come here. Then only they shall release the horse.

This is my first update and please excuse me if u find any mistakes. As I found today that there was no written up date, also I have some free time today I had kept my update here. Sorry for my spelling & grammar mistakes.

good update kiran

Your update was fantastic Kiran!👏 Don't worry about the spelling/grammar mistakes. They were very few.😊

Good update. Just to fill in the first part, K-L and Shatrughan recognize each other - they address him as chacha, and when he resolves to fight them, they touch his feet for blessings. While he declines to bless them w/ victory (since that would be wishing the Ashwamedha be a flop), he tells them that if their intentions are good, their desires will be fulfilled. Then there is a major battle between them and the fortunes alternate, until Kush releases an arrow that spews smoke and renders everybody, including Shatrughan, unconscious.

Actually, given what the storyline has been so far, I actually thought this episode was pretty good, insofaras it was not inconsistent w/ their meeting Shatrughan earlier. So in that context, they were just as appropriately respectful as nephews should be. In fact, I preferred this to the earlier serial, where they were not merely defiant, but downright confrontational, which would be as bad as K-L dissing Rama, since Shatrughan was the one who in that serial (as in the original) did their naming ceremony. I liked the respectful way in which they behaved, as well as the way in which they fought. Also, when it came to Lakshman, in this episode, they didn't blame him for Sita's exile the way they did in the previous one.

Why would he ever fight with his own relatives, and that too children, even if they did not return the horse? He would go directly to Valmiki and request him to convince the children to return the Ashvamedh Horse, like a responsible adult. There is no logic in what the Sagars show these days.

Actually, If you think about it, the problem here is not so much w/ the Sagars (Anand or Ramanand), but w/ the entire genre of authors who invented this bovine 🤬 about K-L fighting their uncles. As you know, it's not there in the original, and had this actually happened, what you are suggesting is precisely what Shatrughan, or Lakshman would have done, given that these kids would be bound to obey their guru. This makes no sense regardless of who originally came up w/ it - the first guy who came up w/ this couldn't resist the temptation of having K-L capture the Ashwamedha horse, which just happened to be passing Valmiki's ashram. Isn't that a wild co-incidence? As opposed to Valmiki getting a formal invitation to the yagna, and taking K-L w/ him to demonstrate his work?

Anyway, yesterday Shatrughan & Lakshman down, today probably Bharat and Hanuman will be defeated. I just hope they don't show Sugriv participating in this battle.
