CVS have distorted this serial way beyond repair now. I don't understand what they're trying to accomplish. I've not even come across a single person be it on this forum or Twitter who approves of starsita which I think should be contrary to their interest since they wanted Ramayan to be appreciated from Sitaji's POV.
I've not read valmiki ramayan thoroughly. But so far what I have read, there's hardly ever any direct dialogue between Sita and Lakshman but there's respect always. Whenever she had to talk abt him she did so with high praises.
We have a star Sita here who whenever in prayers is always thinking of her raghunandan and their relationship. But if u see valmiki's Sita her prayers are always about the "three" of them remaining protected and safe.
Starsita is free of shortcomings or so she thinks. Even valmiki's Sita was not free of shortcomings. Being a human she was once overcome with emotion and grew so hysterical that she said extreme harsh words to lakshman when he refused to leave the hut. But in the very next chapters we know she didn't mean any of that. When ravan came in the guise of Brahman and Sita tells him about themselves she again while introducing Lakshman talks highly of him. Had she really thought ill of him she wouldn't have praised him thus. Her anger at that time stemmed from her dear.
But starsita's every rebuke to lakshman feels as if she's sick of him. And what more is she never ever feels about it.
Sita in her days in Lanka often cursed her fate and her ill doing (her harsh words to Lakshman) as being the cause of her misery. When Hanuman came to meet her she even said is it bcoz they r angry at her was saying all that to lakshman that they are neglecting her. Now Sita doesn't believe so she has full faith in them. These words do not show what she feels they would think of her. These words are her repentance and her own appraisal. When Hanuman leaves she sends her greetings to Ram and Lakshman. To Ram there's a single verse to Lakshman there are about 7-8 verses where she extolls his bravery and her pride and admiration of him. She can leave it. There's no need she might just send her greetings in one formal verse. But no she doesn't wish to wait till war finishes off. She wishes to send lakshman as earliest as possible a message from her bhabhi to tell him how highly she thinks of him and that he's always dear to her.
I read an article where an author was interpreting the incident of Agni pariksha. He proposed a question. Why was it lakshman who was asked to build funeral pyre ? It could have been any one, why not Hanuman. But no somebody else might hesitate as they don't wish to hurt Sita ma. So would Lakshman. He would be pained too but then she knows he's one person who would obey her none the less.
Another reason as he wrote could be that if she has to punish herself let be through the person she caused terrible misery by her words and that initiated this ordeal.
The point being Sita lashed out at Lakshman just once and for this she was forever remorseful though her conduct can be justified as she was just acting as a normal wife overcome with grief and fear for her husband's protection. Lakshman is one person she trusts eternally but he refuses to go. So her reactions comes.
But here she so often lashed out at him but does she feel bad no way. She even has silent support of Star Ram for doing. ( no Ram. Sorry ppl no offence but now I can't even relate to this ram.)
Sita haran is one tragic incident in Ramayan. But in Skr when they showed it my reaction was actually like coomon now protect yourself. Ab bachao na as you always used to boast in front of the two. Is this the kind of reaction they wished to invoke. I don't think so !!
