Once again a lovely post. I agree about today's generation not ready to understand their parents. Some just ignore their parents when a new member enters their life. They don't want to listen to them rather they give more preference to the person they love over their parents who brought them to this world, nurtured them and thought them good values. There was an article in a news paper where it was written that an interview was taken of teenagers. There was a girl who was around 15 and she said her friends have GF / BF and they take selfies when they kiss and it's cool having GF / BF. Are these kids even aware of what they're doing? At times I wonder whether their parents are aware about this. What's so cool about having a BF / GF at this age?

Kaikeyi gives importance to material gain. She wants to make Bharat king. That's the ultimate aim of her life. All 4 brothers are impressed with genuine knowledge capital Mithila. They understand the value of Gyan. Which Kaikeyi doesnt feel should be given importance to.
Ram's eyes can see what others cant. The inner peace which he could notice in Mithila, is rare to be found at other places.
Parents wants best for their childeren. But understanding of best differs as per personal thinking. He believes in making others understand his pov. So Kaikeyi gets more preference as he knows only she will have problem agreeing to his marriage.
A good concept is highlighted about family values. Here younger generation is quite understanding & is trying their best to convince Kaikeyi. Bharat too explains what Ram is for him & why he is right in his choice of Sita.
Kaikeyi being elder is acting like child, who needs lot of convincing & Bharat, Ram being younger are acting wise to make her understand the truth.
Role reversal, SKR style.

@antika my take is more than 70% of the parents bend if you approach them the right way. Even among 30% only there will be some 10-15% who will go to extreme steps like honor killing. I will only advocate running away if there is a serious threat to life by parents of either side. Any other problem can be resolved through dialogue.

Sorry to disagree with you here Shruthi. Running away will not help if one doubts honor killing as that will give a clear invitation for the case. If one loves his to be life partner too much and if he or she fails to convince their parents, the it is better to have court marriage with the help of friends and announce the marriage on local news papers. Along with that it is better to visit the parents once again that you are made for each other and how you can't live without each other and one more try to convince them is better than running away from your family and friends. How long one can run from your own people, the more you are decided to run, they will chase you more. So if are sure about your feelings and convinced within yourself that you will live with each other through out your life, then take a decision, stay put and get yourself married and if you are too worried fro your well being, then take a restraining order from court and no one will dare to hurt you. But before that please think many times whether your decision will live a life time and worth the pain you are taking and instilling your loved ones or was that a fleeting relationship which may collapse with little pressure of life.

@charvi it is hard to walk by principles, but it is worth it. In 1999 when I joined B-Tech I was a small town girl and engineering college was not only the first time I was going into a mixed class but was also the first time I was seeing people outside my town. I remember I couldn't connect with half the girls reason being I didn't know many English authors, didn't understand brand names, didn't know what compact meant, had no clue on the word BF or GF. And well no one had any interest in what I knew mythology and Indian history. For boys I was a nerd, not the fashionista. Need to belong was so strong in me. I learned about cosmetics, I took books from people knew authors Sidney Sheldon to Jeffrey Archer, read about Harry Potter, infact I was changing, but still there was no acceptance. My marks were dwindling in this need to belong and it was somewhere in the beginning of 4th year I realized there is no point trying. I can never belong. Beyond a certain point I can never move along with them. Because the threshold had reached from where I will not walk another step. It was then I looked around and realized behind the glitz and glory there were simple people like me and if I had extended my hand of friendship to them, I would have been happier. I stepped out, reclaimed my individuality, concentrated on my classes and got through campus placement. One among just 50 students who got the placements in that year surprising many of the so called glamour friends of mine. My engineering college killed the innocence in me. But it also gave me something priceless, the ability to distinguish between good and bad. The ability to ascertain whom to trust, whom not to trust and this knowledge always comes in handy. So if you are in adverse circumstances, use that opportunity to learn. Even among those people there will be something to learn. Just like I have not regretted knowing about cosmetics and personal grooming and English books, stories outside the country etc...Know what to take, what to leave. Always observe and on guard. You will survive.
@Meena and Arjith the fact is that parents are conditioned by the thoughts of their time. Or based on what their parents valued. So to change that conditioning some effort is needed and here the child is showing that maturity.

@jaya running away I meant elope and marry. All the steps you have said is correct. But I am not sure whether it is 2 year back or 3 year back there was an incident in Tamilnadu, where the couple got married. There was some caste issue. The girls parents along with community people went and burnt many houses in the boy's side as I guess he belonged to the lower caste. Then they used brute force, bought the girl back and the boy's corpse was found in the railway track. So if parents intend honor killing such parents one way or the other ensure they kill. It's a sad thing, but police is silent on this aspect. Actually where strong honor killing chance is there even running wont help as I have seen many Savdhann India episodes where even after going away the young couples are hunted and killed.
Honor killing the extreme fanactism is where no other thing work, to be frank even getting register married. . I call it exceptional circumstance and hope no parent belong to this category of murdering their own offspring for falling in love

There are so many cases which we come across where the mothers will be keep dreaming about the qualities and beauty of their to be DIL and how they will celebrate their son's marriage with huge pampers. Same case would be with Kaikeyi keep planning for her Ram's wedding since he was a child and that was known to ram as well. That could be the reason why he could relate to Kaikeyi's hesitation in accepting his choice of bride and that makes him to think to update his mother about his choice and how he will be happy with her and that she should believe in his choice and give her whole hearted approval. Only with her acceptance of his bride, he will be an happy man in his blissful married life. If his mother is brooding, how will he enjoy his new life and he know for sure that his mother will understand and approve his bride.
And fro once, sorry to say this but I didn't find kaikeyi as wicked MIL but a concerned and dotting mother who cares only for her son's happiness and for that if she ahs to hurt few in line, she will do that with pride (as show told king Dashrath that he can't forego his son's happiness to keep up king Janak's honor)

@Shruthi: I liked the way CV's maintained the character of kaikeyi. She was angry with dhasarath but her love for her beloved son Ram remains the same. This character of Kaikeyi is impressive for me. But as I said before, hope CV's show kaikeyi understands sita and mithila from Ram's letter or from others before even meeting Sita.

Ur take and connection with current scenario is quite beautiful.
i didnt read ur thread fully, will come back later😊
