Nice post Shruthi 👏 Well about Ram not asking permission, I didn feel there anything wrong in it. By lifting that dhanush he proved his mettle, not his worthiness to win her hand. So he asked her his permission. Had she said NO he would have backed off.

Be that as it may, I still hate Rama for banishing his wife. I am wondering how they will justify it in the show since they have shown Rama as a person who goes against social norms. Then how could he succumb to it to an extent he could not distinguish between right and wrong? He was the same person who fought for an animal. Then how could he do that to his wife?

Coming to Mahabharata, I agree what happened with Draupadi was very bad. Blasphemous if u ask me. But who gave Draupadi the right to hurl insults at others? She wanted to reject Karna so be it. Was she right to insult his parentage? NO. No matter what Duryodhana had done, and I agree Dritarashtra was no saint but what gave her the right to insult him? In some versions, it is mentioned Draupadi made that taunt but in some others it was her maid but instead of reprimanding her maid she laughed along with her. Was she right on both accounts? I agree her vastraharan was not justified at all but in the same way her actions werent either. SP Mahabharata was the worst rendering of the epic and I wished anyone would sue the makers for spoiling that epic. The Pandavs were portrayed as saints and Kauravs as evil monsters. I wont deny Kauravs were evil but they had few good qualities even. For instance Duryodhan Karna friendship. The makers of SP screwed that so badly I felt like chucking something at my TV for that 😆 Let me not speak about SP Mahabharata anymore coz I will only curse it 🤣 Except for Pooja Sharma the actress who played Draupadi I didn like any other actor. For me BR Chopra Mahabharat will be epic and that was the only Mahabharat version that was close to the actual epic.

@Ramya you are very free to post your views in my thread. Dont worry 😃

Coming to Sita banishment, I have got a theory in my head by now. Let me see if my thoery matches with the makers 😃. Yes the theory appeals to me than any other theory I have heard so far. But let me wait for the makers to show it.

It struck me when yesterday Janak was talking about Ram's ancestors. Raghu, Bhagirath,Harishchandra but not a single woman of the family.

But how come Sita married into that family is remembered through ages. Remembered more than Ram and her purity is a benchmark?Same with Urmila. Why her name is taken along with Lakshman. Why her sacrifice is also highlighted?

How come a Vamsh from where no other Queen's name has come Sita's name has come. Chandramati suffered equally with Harishchandra, still all the credit is for Harishchandra, other stories I dont know much. Why the world know Ram as Sitaram which is one of his prominent names?We can also think.

Interesting question. Have a glance of this link

Apart from few, I am not even aware of their counterpart's name.

Following question, Why Lord Ram took birth in suryavamsam and Lord Krishna in Chandravamsam?
Why Ram took birth in navami and Krishna in ashtami?
Though I have some own reasons, can I know your views?

@idea I very well understand the way panchali rejected karna was not right. She could have been polite and should not have brought caste into the picture. But she had a right to reject. I am typing from mobile hence didn't put this in original post. Was planning to put this aspect when I could get my laptop. Thanks for bringing this up. @shanti patrichiacial society of India has taken shelters under this epic. Lot of atrocities on woman are put one way or other on Ram and Sita. So the values they stood for has to be told in dialogues so that bad cannot take shelters under them.
