Raise Your Weapon: Rangrasiya Wars (IP- HELP OUT!)

Historical: Old Battles yet to be Settled.

These are distinct to the historical context, although the history of these battles will affect the contemporary wars, and any future conflict- these character's histories are sparse and leave room for interpretation and can end up with various story lines.

Mohini vs. Mala

This is perhaps the one battle which offers the fuel for so many other's in the future. The history between the sisters Is unclear, but what is obvious is that Mohini has let her wounds fester into such hatred that it acts as a catalyst to start other petty wars.

Casualties: The Potential Bond between sisters and everything it entails.

Mohini vs. Dilsher

Similiarly like the perivious one, there isn't much in terms of context but Mohini gives off the vibe of a woman scorned who is out for revenge so long as she can get it- as if she lost a battle and is looking for a rematch anyway she can- in any context.

Casualties: M&M's relationship potentially unsalvageable; Mohini poisoning offspring (at least Sumar) to dislike Dilsher.

Tejawat vs. The Nation

Tejawat did not actively pursue this war with India, but his greed, selfishness and vanity has created as such an atmosphere where the state and it's protectors must person to rid Tejawat and scum like him- however this historical battle, is only being fought and won by Tejawat. The Country does not even know his like is doing this. As of yet.

Tejawat vs. The BSD

The BSD, like the Nation are unaware of what Tejawat is doing (or they don't have proof of it) and at the same time, Tejawat has been cunning enough to make the BSD seem like the war lords, preying on the innocent, making the battle all the more complex.

Dilsher vs. Mala

THIS IS ONE I REALLY WANT TO UNDERSTAND! Dilsher obviously hate's Mala for leaving him and Rudra, but there HAS to be more to this, there HAS to be context. There MUST be a Story!

Casualty: Rudra and his Childhood. That doesn't even need an explanation.

Contemporary Wars: The Conflict We See

These are the wars we've seen and are seeing. They stem from the historical wars which unresolved have created new battles. Inner Battles. Clash of Wills. & A War of Emotions.

Rudra vs. Self

Internally his battle is obvious, yet unclear. His battle comes from his Parents: abandonment issues, women hatting issues. Missing Love.

Casualty: Meaningful relationships and bonds. He has none. And Patriotism does not count.

Rudra vs. Tejawat & Like

The Only positive Rudra has from his inner conflict is that his energy is put to use to take out the bad guys. He's using the negative experiences to make a positive impact by going up against desh drohies, and bringing them to justice- Ranawat Style.

Rudra vs. Laila

THIS IS REALL INTERESTING. I know most PaRud fans are Anti- Laila, but I think she's an amazing character who is VERY STRONG. This is a battle based on emotion and desire. Rudra didn't realized he'd engaged her in war, especially since his verbal treaty was very clear- we're nothing more than friends with benefits. I'm not cut out for marriage. BUT He left out one thing- when he said he's not cut out for marriage, he implied to her that it was a universal component. As soon as that fell through, so did any possibility of Peace. Laila is up in arms, and this petty war is going to leave so big wounds.

Rudra vs. Mohini et al

I use "et al" because Mohini and Sumar, as well as any potential characters that will be Mohini's allies (including Tejawat). This war is obviously a result of Mohini hating her sister, and her hunger for power. It's odd that Mohini would engage a child in combat (because it seems like she's always festered a resentment for Rudra- which we are now just getting to see play out).

Casualties: Masi- Panja relationship. There is none.

Mithali vs. Mohini

This could even be termed as Sumrat & Mithali vs. Society. The stigma of a childless couple that society gives and ESPECIALLY towards a woman is amazing (even though it's been hinted that it is Sumrat who can't have children) Furthermore, the Saas- Bahu dynamic is also a classic social issue that many face. Coupled in with the fact that this is a power structure. Mithali doesn't want to fight. She's a lover not a fighter. And she DOES NOT ENGAGE IN BATTLE, but Mohini is always throwing bombs at her. Hopefully this small battle will not just end with Mohini getting in the last word, but Mithali standing up for herself.

Rudra vs. Paro

WELLL HELLOOO THERE! This one is obvious, yet no less intriguing. Passion. Power. Wills. Determination. These two are fighting for the same side: RIGHTIOUSNESS. HOWEVER, the perception of right is different. It's interesting to see who will be on top, but even when the main war is over, these two will always have personal battles to overcome with each other.

+
[Love and Hate. Paro fighting her developing LOVE for Rudra and Rudra waging war with his diminishing HATE for Paro. It does not end here, there's also the clash of ego and care, both at the same moment. As rightly symbolised in the RR title background score, that they are incomplete without one another, The way they fit in each others lives, is what makes them go all nasty inside charging with naked hands, ready to rip one another. Ready to bare their soul to the other. What they have completely overlooked, though, is this battle has no end- for it is that ever illuminated fire that cease to extinguish and only adds on to riling more love and passion. fire_whiskey | Radhika ]

Future Battles: The Wars to Come

Rudra vs. Tejawat & Like

This will obviously be a continual storyline and Tejawat won't be the only one who Rudra faces to protect his country, but it will have many battles and this is a War that Rudra won't face alone.

Casualties: Innocent Men and Women; Protectors of the State (BSD officers)

Paro vs. Self

Upon the revaliation of Tejawat, and his history, and Rudra's truth- not to mention Mala being Rudra's mother- Paro is going to go through self-doubt and inner turmoil- she's going to question herself, her judgement, and possibly her faith in life. It's going to be an interesting development in her character and essential to her evolution.

Rudra vs. Mala

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS. SIMPLY CANNOT. Rudra has loved and missed his mother, but there are certain things a son cannot forgive and forget. He will blame his mother for not coming sooner, for not trying harder, for leaving in the first place, and most of all: For being with Tejawat. He will confuse his anger and hatred for Tejawat and link it to his mother who he had pristine thoughts and opinions about but will be tainted when he finds out she's married to a desh drohi.

Dilsher vs. Mala

Similarly like above, this is going to be one hell of an interesting story line.

Mohini vs. Mala

This will be where the history between these two comes out, and it will be a battle of wills. Can't wait!

Mala vs. Society

Whatever her reasons for leaving, Mala will have to deal with the Societal view of her as a mother, wife and woman for leaving her family.
