Very Good Show BUT.. - Page 2

hi, i also want to see some backstory of Vishvamitra-Vashista as well.

And, who wants to see Sita as Ravanas daughter? that's very disturbing, and i hope the creative team doesn't stick to this part of the variation.

I'm pretty sure there will be scenes of Rama admiring Ravana, and i don't think its wrong. Ravana did have some good qualities in him. I want the CVS to depict this way rather than show Ravana completely evil, after all he was a Shiva bakti.

Exactly, this is why I cannot tolerate people praising Ravan and saying he was a good man before Sita haran. He wasn't. Did people forget that long before Sita haran, he raped Rambha and many other women, and forcibly brought women from all over the world into his harem to be his mistresses? All these women together cursed Ravan that since he doesn't respect womankind, it'll be a woman who is the cause of his death. What's the use of knowledge and religion when one doesn't have basic humanity? Sita haran was merely what made Ravan's cup of sins tip over, but he committed many crimes beforehand also.

As for Draupadi, I respect both her and Sita equally. Draupadi needed to be fierce due to the people she dealt with in her life. They were worse than even Ravan. Both Draupadi and Sita lived through different circumstances, so it's unfair to compare them.

Was Ravan truly a Shiva bhakt? If he was, then wouldn't he have recognized Hanuman, who was the incarnation of Lord Shiva? Instead, he insulted Hanuman by setting fire to his tail.

Ravan's bhakti does not erase all his wrong deeds. A person like him today, who rapes women and thinks he can control them, wouldn't be respected in society, so why should CVs show him as good?
