I was watching swades in star one on Gandhi Jayanti. Pal Pal hai bhari (the song with sita and ravan) was playing on tv. My parents happened to see it.
Amma: Actually Ravan is quite decent than other villains
Achan: Yeah,better than Ram
Everyone looked at him as if he said the unspeakable. Understanding that he owes an explanation he continued
"Even after knowing Sita for that long, knowing the virtues of her,he accepted her only after agnishudhi, whereas Ravan treated her with respect in Ashokavani."
I thought maybe he had a point. I am not saying Ravana is better than Ram.I'm sure there must be reasons in the epics for each event.I've always loved the Maryadapurushotham Ram. But it seemed interesting that maybe even Gods when born as humans werent perfect. Or even the cruelest of the devils have a brighter side:-)

Evn I have the same opinion on Rama. I donnow what is the dharma there in asking Sita to prove her purity all over again? isn't that 100% stupidity from a man who's supposed to be an avatar of God? even a normal man wudn't do that
i like him coz he dint remarry. Also theres a huge diff between the position women had in society now n back then.
just go through your blog. interesting one.
yeh.. he -dad has also pointed that..
@ bashir- thanks:-)
Its very simple. Whoever wins is praised in history as hero. Cos supporters of the other are either all dead or left powerless.
@ stupidosaur- good point:D
