SKR cvs take a standing ovation. I am not sure what valmiki intended by Sita banishment. But I know for sure you vindicated ram today. The law of the land that gave punishment to the common girl has to be same for the queen. Today rajdharma did injustice to prakriti taking a stand with sanskriti. The dhobi girl was blemishless. Still she was punished because a society except woman to die than take help. When ram did vachan palan the dharma of it was questioned. Now when ram do rajdharma the dharma will be questioned. What a beauty inline with ram's character. He breaks nothing yet breaks everything. Ram rajya where through the thought process of people a kingdom was created where justice was equal.to common man and king.to man and woman. I was like I don't know. I can tell my heart skipped a beat.maryada purushottam.the person who is a staunch devotee of Krishna say today jai shri ram from the heart

Yes Shruti ! The episode was very good today . They have built the base for a relatively far future !
The dilemma of Shatrughan was well handled he did his best to balance raj dharma and his compassion towards the dhobi girl . Happy about the way they keep Ayodhay on a parallel track !
If Ram had been the king now and had been in this situation might have broken the pratha in the way he handled the Ashwamedha horse but since the event has already preceded he is probably left with little choice but banish Sita ! ( to maintain the equality factor ! ).
The cvs for sure are doing a great job in maintaining and build up of the events .
The episode was quite packed with lots of content today .
Somehow, there was also a change in Lakshman today - he did not look up while talking with Bhabhi which so far he did ! ( this charecter though is in tune with Kambha Ramayan )

The vrat of not sleeping through out the Vanvas is also built in logically .
Interesting episode to come tomorrow !

Good going and congrats once again to the whole team .

If law is unfair, it must change. I didn't like this at all, it's terribly unfair and senseless. I wish Shatrughan had changed the law but Ram too could have as law first has to be equal and then people can be expected to follow it. Law must change if it produces injustice.
I think Ram also sent Sita away because he didn't want society putting baseless assumptions on his wife, they have no right. But still I wish he would have changed the law like he did for Ashwamedha horse :/
Though, I find it ironic how it's the dhobi's daughter that gets punished because it's the dhobi who questions Sita!

i think its the same dhobi or his family who might qestioned maa sita purity because of his revenge that he want to take for his daughter vanvaas.If ram would have present then he might brought the change in law like ashwamedha. Ram wanted sita should also gain equal respect, love like him, but neither shatrughan nor praja didnt knew that in future his judgement would be the cause for sita vanvaas

im sure Ran and for that matter even Bharat would have done something differently. Also i believe to be a great ruler you need to have the ability to change uunfair rules or pratha.
i believe though this a distortion they are showing, to later support rams decicion that he had to send Sita away to prove equality. firstly it was bharat who ruled not shatrugan. and i dont think there is any mention of this incident in the actual story or is it?
But my question is equality between praja & king notwithstanding, by sending sita away dint Ram actually give more wind to this wrong pratha & by setting such an example he was only furthering the man -woman divide.

Ram was not furthering the divide. An injustice has happened. How will Pradha be questioned. Only when the most prominent person is affected by Pratha. When Palace is affected by Pratha.
Have you ever thought why 26/11 got more limelight than any other terrorist activity in India. Why Nirbhaya got more coverage than any other girl in India.

Has terrrorism not happened before 26/11 or have rapes not happened before Nirbhaya. What was so special about them that made people sit up and notice. Question the laws. 26/11 had a much speedy disposition compared to many other terrorist cases. Same with Nirbhaya. SC is hearing the case now
While Suryanelli case which is 20 years old is still pending in SC. Why the disparity.

Understand that what differentiated 26/11 from rest was that it attacked people in power. Taj Hotel which is the power centre of business and royalty was attacked. People sitting in the top knew they were not safe anymore. Terror can come to them and terror needs to be punished.

Nirbhaya it was a middle class girl with ambition to study and work. She represented the new India. When she was raped the erthwhile middle class knew rape is not something that happens to some poor girls, girls in disadvantaged back grounds. But it can happen to their daughters. The hypocrisy and disdain with which atrocities and rules used on poor and disadvantaged people comes knocking at the door of those who think they are above law. They follow law. Law doesnt affect them. When you are affected yourself you will think about Pratha. Its implications. Need to change. Till that time it is someone else's problem.

Ram could only change tradition or law only by ensuring and showing the praja how the tradition has affected him. How it affected the king. And he keeping the golden idol of Sita for Aswamedha is a tight slap for the society who has imposed such rules. She is pure to him, no one can take her place and it is only for the rajdharma the so called banishment happened.

@Jaya for me too. There was no fear in her eyes ,She was Shakti ...can you even see Ravan touching this Shakti without getting burned. Her wanting the golden deer and allowing herself to be kidnapped was only because she wanted to give Ram a reason to attack and destroy Lanka and thus fulfill the aim for his 'avataran'.
Today Shatrugan followed Rajdharam and an innocent was punished and the people who accused her wrongly got away scot free. Ram when he became king used the same Rajdharm and banished his wife, seemingly in response to the people questioning her purity, but in reality he did it to protect her self respect and dignity. He made himself vulnerable by his action so that Luv-Kush by questioning the righteous nature of it became instrumental in perhaps changing the people's perception...How enriching for each one of us to have a small portion of that divinity or paramatma, isn't it?

@Savitha paramatma brings us all to the point where we will question tradition. Have you ever thought I those things happen to us somehow which we never wanted. It is for us to question. I have seen people questioning women why are they leaving babies in care and going to work.
Believe someone near or dear to that person will face the situation in life where the girl has to leave the child and go to work. There will be no option other than that to survive for her and the baby.

We say about abortion. Almost a year back a colleague of mine did abortion. Reason a bitter divorce battle was going on and the child's father showed no attachment to the baby in the womb. First I was like how could you. A baby is a life. But then she didnt want his nishaani. She didnt want anything of him with her and she did it to free herself completely from that demon. To move on in life so that he will never be in a position to come back in her life. She had taken it from him and his family for 2.5 bitter years. She hoped things will change with her pregnancy. But nothing happened. She was devastated for days, but we all spoke, offered her courage to move on.

Sometimes we have to understand the person to understand the decision than passing judgement, how could she, how could he. And if we are not empathetic then paramatma will one way or the other bring that situation for us

The most judgemental line of our life for others and for us also , its not always easy to take such decisions and still we have to answer the society at large. . . .
