Call it pessimistic, but ending of Ramayan teaches us that society absolutely SUCKS!
Ram trusts Sita, but she has to leave the Mahal and live in Valmiki ji’s ashram incognito because “log kya kahenge” - the people of Ayodhya question her fidelity and kind of force her out! 1/n

Ram is king and symbolises the ideal man, but he’s powerless against the mindset of society. He can fight Ravan, but not the gossiping Ayodhyans.
To preserve the sanctity and purity of his throne, he lets Sita go and fend for herself. Marriage and righteousness be damned.

Sita has two kids, they grow up without Ram knowing. They then come to Ram’s court and sing about Sita’s plight. The entire court is crying and is emotional. Ram wants to call Sita back!
But wait, some random sadakchaap morons still question Sita’s purity!

The #UttarRamayan, derived from Uttar Kand, containing story of Luv Kush is an addition to the #Valmiki Ramayan at a later date. Valmiki's last chapter is Yuddha Kanda or Lanka Kanda. Source : A comparitive study of Kamba Ramayan and Tulasi Ramayan by S Shankar Raju.
In the first few minutes of #UttarRamayan, #RamanandSagar clarified that pressure from #Valmiki samaj and discussions in Indian Parliament led to his acceptance of public demand to continue the serial with Lav Kush angle. #Ramayana
As such #UttarRamayan on @DDNational should be seen only for entertainment purposes. Do not judge the character of #ShriRam with the events that unfold in the serial. Leave it there.

The thing with re-telecast of #RamayanOnDDNational is that just about 2 months ago, we finished a re-run of this series through DVD (to introduce the epic to my son). So this re-telecast is a bit too soon for us. So instead, let me narrate a story when it was first telecast. 1/5
#Ramayan was originally telecast between Jan 1987-July 1988. We were then living in Allahabad.
However, our ancestral village is in Gorakhpur, where we went every summer vacation.
The issue in summer of 1987 - how to watch Ramayan in a village with no TV/no electricity? 2/5

So here is what happened in 1987.
A brand new TV set was bought (UPTRON brand).
And electric lines were extend to the village in a record one week time (the local area MLA lived close by. He helped).
And then OUR VILLAGE HOME became the #RAMAYAN CENTER EVERY SUNDAY. 3/5
