You...Neo, of course I have noticed, observed that.<br /><br />You are right, why only black and white, I distrust such ppl who are either too white and disbelieve the one's who are portrayed as black. There are greys in all of us, shades differ.<br /><br />We must see a person in totality, and avoid forming images seeing one good or bad deed done by him.<br /><br />thanks for ur valuable comments. Like this one, on duryodhan and karna.<br /><br />thanks<br /><br />RESTLESSA Restless Mind With A Sensitive Heart!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15235186296193977056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021738822692225370.post-75631259294410852942010-11-18T19:19:25.386+05:302010-11-18T19:19:25.386+05:30If you have noticed my views too are contrarian mo...If you have noticed my views too are contrarian most of the times and this way our paths do cross at times. Btw, its not ravan alone our epics are full of men and women who are grey and not black and white. Take for example yudishtir or duryodhan or karna. They all have their share of goodness and the pandavas their vices. Duryodhan was very loyal to his friend and karna was famous for his generousity. He refused to succumb to kunti's emotional blackmail and remained loyal to his foster parents and his friends. So do duryodhan by gifting karna vast spaces of land when he was humiliated. So i would say all are painted in grey but we are used to hearing about them being either black or white only.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021738822692225370.post-39419984049168130852010-11-18T06:36:23.832+05:302010-11-18T06:36:23.832+05:30hello there thanks for your grat post, as usual (...hello there thanks for your grat post, as usual ((o:Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021738822692225370.post-47093563305372950762010-11-17T19:02:51.625+05:302010-11-17T19:02:51.625+05:30Interesting view.From childhood, all of us were ta...Interesting view.From childhood, all of us were taught that he was a bad guy and Hanuman ,as a joker.The victory of good over bad..was the story.You have triggered a new version of thinking.I have already started thinking,yes,he was not such a bad guy compared to many of our ordinary men.At least he didnt rape Sita!dr.antonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191095888228061156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021738822692225370.post-56009846821628365242010-11-17T01:22:58.076+05:302010-11-17T01:22:58.076+05:30totally agree with u..I wonder how has the author ...totally agree with u..I wonder how has the author Ashok Banker characterised Ravan in his version of Ramayan.Reemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13491748504763527697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021738822692225370.post-7612214919074060892010-11-16T19:23:20.584+05:302010-11-16T19:23:20.584+05:30Neo, yes, I know my views are contrary to what I, ...Neo, yes, I know my views are contrary to what I, and we have generally grown up with.

One by the name rama retold written by aubrey menon.

Read this one as well as ones mentioned...Restless,<br /><br />Read this one as well as ones mentioned by navigating. I think that for most of people such festivals are just another holiday and for fun & frolic. We do not remember the cause for such days. Now coming to Ravan, I too agree that he was a scholar and brave king. There is nothing which suggests that he maltreated his subjects or went on looting rampages. Who has seen the original manuscripts of Ramyana as written by Tulsidas or Balmiki? It is just a matter of faith and belief making us incapable of raising genuine questions. A time capsule was burried deep near Red Fort sometime in 1970s. This had miniture photographs. Who knows that thousands of years after this world is destroyed by nuclear war but descendants of those who survived in deep jungles etc will make out of these photographs when dug out at that time? Another epic may be written then. <br /><br />Take careJackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896075408610203350noreply@blogger.com
