Shruthi The difference between Ramayan and Mahabharat is in the nature of evil. In Ramayan the evil was more or less concentrated in the demon's lair...it had an identity in the demon's race. So righteousness was used to combat the evil forces. Even knowledge was used in its pure form to win over evil. Except for Vali Vadh where the tactics used were not that pure. Maybe that is why Ram accepts the result of his actions in the Krishna avatar as a means to end his avatar in the form of a hunter's arrow, what a impartial and balanced sense of justice God has.

In the Mb, the evil had a human form, so it resulted in a lot of grey areas in the dispensing of justice, didn't it? Krishna directly could not kill the humans who were bad, so he became a teacher and guide for the righteousness to win and the society to balance itself.

Shirley you summed up the episode beautifully.👏

Hi Geena, sorry could not reply yesterday as ii promised. Thanks once again for appreciating my efforts.

The focus on Lakshman - Sita equation is moving to its culmination. I am intrigued now how they will show the haran. Will she regret her words to Lakshman?
Sita has been shown as a fiercely independent woman so far. She even before swayamwar told Ram what kind of a woman she is. 'Saath saath par Swadandhr'. She is the embodiment of Prakrithi which is against any kind of Bandhan. Ram n Sita are perfectly in sync because they understand each other.

i understand they are building a foundation to Sita's regrets later. But, isnt it getting too much now.. Tell me something.. if u were in a jungle with asurs all around u who may attack at any time, would u leave someone alone without any protection? And okay.. the said person may have weapons n be very strong physically, still a basic protection is important..esp. for a woman. Why does Sita have to over react every single time? And moreover, its the duty of men to protect the women in their midst, just as its the duty of women to nurture, cook for and give homely aura, n psychological strength to men.. Its not about gender inequality but rather a balance between the genders.. which was the given in treta yug. its a naked fact that women are physically weaker while men are emotionally weaker.. a fact even Ram acknowledges..

i liked the first time she objected to Laxman's words about having a woman with them slowing them down, etc.. i liked the growth they showed in Siya laxman equation.. but that scene looked like they were back to square one..

Even though she was capable of removing the Rekha she does not do so until Ram allows her. She wanted to show Lakshman the difference. By trying to protect her from any harm he was taking away her freewill. The Rekha was both ways. She cannot go out and no one else can come in. Lakshman understood this n said next time when he makes the Rekha she will not be forced to remain inside. He will not take away her freedom and she doesn't object to this.

Agree with this. But i want to say something else on this.. but not now.. i want to see how the kidnapping plays out first before i say anything.

I loved Lakshman's reply to her that she has a different perspective when it comes to prakriti . He used " Nazriya" to emphasize her way of thinking. It is frustrating for him because he is bound by duty to protect his brother n sister in law. Ram who is more powerful than anyone he knew doesn't create any problems with respect to his duty. But his SIL objects every time she thinks her free will is hindered. He is a warrior and thinks like a warrior. Even if they are in the forest they are in a war zone and certain measures or rules have to be followed for their own protection. He is naturally scared of the after effects of flaunting these rules.

agree

The protection both of them are talking about are completely different. Lakshman's fear will materialize when Sita haran happens. Sita will understand Lakshman completely then. Sita have always said she can protect herself. She will also prove this again and again. In Lanka she even dares the mighty Ravan to cross a blade of grass that she places between them. Laksman will understand her view during Agnipareeksha.


hmm.. i dint get the last bit about during agnipariksha

Just like Lakshman who relentlessly tries to protect Ram - Sita, we have Meghanad who doesn't accept defeat. He tries to win what his father wants by hook or crook. Hanuman is Sugreev's friend, well wisher and protector. Asur's were able to attack Sugreev by making him surrender his weapon using Roma his weakness and Hanuman saves the day by attacking their weakness. But they have succeeded in removing Hanuman from Sugreev's vicinity making Sugreev susceptible to their attack. This is in parallel with Sita haran.


yeah.. as i said m enjoying the lanka scenes esp the way ,Meghnad's character is shaping up.

@bold - true.
