This is coupled with a fear from (in some cases phobia against) explaination (those who quickly judge seldom go into details), which is also very well shown in the way you too have reacted to what I said. And I agree that there is no need of a debate (I won't 'judge' it as 'useless' though), as both of us have already explained what we think about it.Rahulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06591835431408642209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22836912.post-6133641668185864482010-07-04T08:48:40.730-07:002010-07-04T08:48:40.730-07:00haha hahahahahahaha rahuls opening sentence has me...haha hahahahahahaha rahuls opening sentence has me in splits..... he says "This is an interesting analysis, though the characters seem to be too judgemental which is typical of female's way of doing things."""<br /><br /><br />Rahul...How judgemental can u get????do women have a TYPICAL way????

To begin with, remember the fact that both the princesses had their "swayam-var" - that they chose their own husbands rather than getting married to prosper their father's kingdom. Many things depends on the way of our thinking, but overall such strong women like Sita and Draupadi, we can't expect that they would tolerate anything compromising their self respect.Rahulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06591835431408642209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22836912.post-51032071711993876822010-06-24T10:56:46.953-07:002010-06-24T10:56:46.953-07:00This is an interesting analysis, though the charac...This is an interesting analysis, though the characters seem to be too judgemental which is typical of female's way of doing things. <br /><br />Such analysis can only be done while being too judgemental. And such judgemental attitude has been reinforced in stories and anecdotes without an attempt to clear the air. For example, we can take the incident of Draupadi getting married to all 5 Pandavas. At that time, Pandavs were in the forest, I think in agyat-vaas. It was a time of adversity. So the Pandavas had decided to share all the joys and sorrow as well as everything else in life. So when Arjuna came back home with a newly wed wife, the realisation came upon Pandavas that this may create conflict among the brothers. So they decided to marry the girl with all the five brothers. They called upon her father and told him about the proposal. After his initial objection he gave his consent. Draupadi too agreed, may be after seeing the nobility of her new family. <br /><br />I think Draupadi is also definitely considered an ideal wife. Despite the fact that she married one person Arjuna, she was married to all five Pandavas, but she didn't revolt seeing that Pandavs had done it as a gesture of mutual love and unity. And she never became a reason of conflict among the five pandavas - something that was near impossible. She bore with her all the atrocities made to her by Kauravas and denounced tha gambler Yudhisthir and impotent Pandavas when they swallowed injustice done to her by Duryodhana/Kauravas at the time of the game of dice (she showed her husbands the right path at the time of crisis). Till her death, she stood with Pandavas, went to the forest and bore with all problems, and never showed an attitude despite being daughter of a king. I think she can be respected as a very good wife... <br /><br />Sita is an ideal for anyone when it comes to devotion. I don't agree with many view-points expressed in the article. Ram, the warrior prince had done miracles from his childhood. He had already killed so many demons that he didnt need to kill a Brahmin (by birth) called Ravana to prove any point. What happened, had to happen that way. Sitaji always remained with Rama and never suspected him. Ram ji also never suspected Sita ji but he had to leave her to fulfill his Raj Dharma.Rahulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06591835431408642209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22836912.post-62021625621661896762010-06-05T21:48:43.570-07:002010-06-05T21:48:43.570-07:00Kochi:

So she focuses more on the arguments raised by her after the "Cheer Haran".Besides she did not SIT on the lap of Duryodhan,she defeats him in argument and does not accept the slavery.Sita was mulling over this fact more on the other details.Kuldip Guptahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02059333521665558972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22836912.post-6796620524711297712010-06-05T20:40:39.174-07:002010-06-05T20:40:39.174-07:00Excuse me kuldip.
