Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 dear ramabhakthas, there was a recent article by one of our respected colleagues-despot or democrat.This articles is based on a wrong premise.A monarch-not elected by public- can be benvolent or otherwise need not be a democrat in the true sense of the word..Valmiki wished to convey to readers of a future date as to how different people reacted to vibishana--out of fear. friendship,guilt ,precaution etc.Sugreeva was the least qualifie of the lot.to argue against vibishana.Sri Rama allowed his followers to vent their feelings and took a decision which was perhaps preordained by the Paramathman.This perhaps is another instance of his xowlabya. A few of our readers-who are in the borderline- may perhaps sieze to be ramabhkatha after reading this article. It is defenitely more difficult to convince this generation Ramas decision to ban Sita who was pregnant.Why did valmiki wait till this stage was reached? Valmiki ,a genious of a writer,author and enlightened soul who could read the futute could have descrbed vali vada aand sitas banishment differently so that future generations would not be making atheistic remarks.The killing of the sudra who practised vedic rites is also a case of extreme unwarranted punishment. Is it likely that the uthra kanda is not valmikis bud added on through ages? May i be excused for these frank and perhaps ignorant remarks.
