@jaya I only talked about the mistakes happened in Sita abduction. I have not held anyone responsible which includes Sita's mistakes too. In Sita's banishment yes she will have physical suffering but both Ram and Lakshman will have the guilt. If they had done this or that it might have been prevented. I only highlighted that aspect. Same with Shatrughna. When he think back he might also feel a guilt " what if".
Acceptance of mistake from various quarters leads to where the fault line is and will help in correcting the fault lines.
Whole point is is a female dispensable. The whole tradition is made in such a way that she is. People kill girls in their wombs, woman are raped, victim is blamed, dowry deaths happen no one talks dowry is still given and taken.
Even society questions the man who wants to give the woman in their life a place in the sun because it is against what majority of men think.
And extreme feminism it holds the man responsible for everything and we are moving towards that these days. Girls think by doing the vices men do they equal men. Smoking, drinking, having multiple partners, have an affair and then dump a man, emotional blackmail of men, calling a man's family baggage which the DIL doesn't want it is happening so rampant these days. Running away on the day of engagement to running away after marriage to prove a point girls are doing these. Telling we don't need a man.
Both is wrong. Prakriti and Sanskriti needs each other and they should co-exist. Ramayana was always about co-existence with Vishnu and Mahalakshmi coming to earth as humans, behaving like humans, committing certain mistakes just like humans do, paying the price of those mistakes. Only thing is that they didn't run away or hide from those mistakes. But faced the world head on and proved their love to be eternal irrespective of multiple difficulties and societal norms
And the great thing I like about epics jaya is the fact that no one is perfect. All protoganists have committed mistakes though not crimes, while antagonist does crimes . Protoganists learn from the mistakes, correct them and bring about a positive societal change which is the core message of all the epics and mythology stories which we come across which unfortunately I find lacking in present day stories written by Indian authors while Western authors does it beautifully and gracefully
