The stoicwen sita rebuked lakshmana he went in the search of lord rama...he saw lakshmana and he reprimanded him harshly...Anybody else in the position of Lakshmana would have crumbled. On the one hand his sister-in-law accused him and on the other, here is his brother'Think of it. Lakshmana has been very harshly reproached for disobedience by Rama, just moments ago. He had just been through a very bad patch in his life, accused by his sister-in-law whom he valued more than his own mother. And when he set out in search of his brother, put under pressure of an extreme kind, here was his brother who strongly disapproved of what he did. 'Rama was a martinet, when it comes to matters of discipline,' observes Srinivasa Sastriyar. He never spares anyone for disobedience, whatever be the reason or maybe, excuse.Sastriyar says, "He (Rama) was the martinet. When he gave the order, the order must be obeyed and Lakshmana being is kinkara, his willing kinkara, had often to obey difficult orders. Twice he was driven to an impossible position. Lakshmana was the very soul of obedience, of literal obedience. And yet in order perhaps to show how life is full of difficulties for us all, how the man who commands is placed oftentimes in a difficult position and how a man who is the very soul of obedience is also placed in a very difficult position, how this world, even when we have the highest characters, one way or another puts us all in difficult situations, let me refer to this." So saying, he goes over to quote Rama's rebuke."An unbecoming act has been done by you in that you came hither without her. Though knowing me to be capable of repulsing the ogres, you came away annoyed by this angry rebuke of Sita (a princess of Mithila)! Surely I am not much pleased with you for the fact that you came hither leaving Sita (a princess of Mithila) and that (too) on hearing a harsh word uttered by an angry woman. It was wholly unjustifiable on your part that, falling a prey to anger when goaded by Sita (to leave her) you did not carry out my behest." (Valmiki Ramayana, Aranya Kanda, Canto 59, Sloka 21-24)And that is a situation that is not very new to most of us. We have been through in our workaday life, caught between the boss and his or her superior, each giving an order one contradicting the other. You do this and that person would be displeased and you do that and this person would be displeased. It was not any different in the case of Lakshmana. Here was he serving the interests of his elder brother, just two days elder to him, so loyally, obediently and enthusiastically and see what he gets in return!Anybody else in the position of Lakshmana would have crumbled. On the one hand his sister-in-law accused him of unfounded motives and on the other, here is his brother refusing to accept the reason that 'he came in search of him because he was addressed in 'pungent' words.' Notice that Lakshmana, even at this point does not tell Rama what those pungent words were!'You should be prepared to face everything when the duty calls,' is what Rama conveys in the above Sloka. 'She was angry. She was mad. It was for you to bear with her. In listening to her, you have disobeyed me. I am displeased with you.' And after going through all this, Lakshmana has the strength to stand as firmly as ever by Rama. The great thing is he remains unaffected even when reprimanded mercilessly from two persons, and keeps cheering Rama and pushing him into action.

@arti : am all for Neil as RAM..i would have loved it...coz we have seen his anger right..so RAM would have been refreshing
moreover i feel to play RAM is very challenging..to bring the divinity is not an easy task..those who feel being RAM means just having a plastered smile is wrong..RAM has to bring that calmness,serenity and divinity..it would have been interesting to see how neil would have accomplished it. PH were blind..i can vouch if neil was RAM this show would have been more popular..
