@saishyama,
I totally agree with you.
Shurpanakha was no different from Ravan, or Jayant, or Takta, or any other asura in Ramayana who committed many crimes.
She too killed many innocent people along with Khar and Dushan, and thus she was punished as was fit.
Shurpanakha was no innocent victim. She was as bad as Khar and Dushan, as Ravan and Tataka.
She prayed on the innocent and committed many murders.
In regards to lusting after Ram and Lakshman, Lakshman did not cut off her nose because of her lust. He cut off her nose because she was attacking Sita, and as Sita was (at that moment) in no state to defend herself, he defended her like a son defends a mother.
For the makers to show that as Lakshman's sin is downright horrible and wrong. Sita Ma herself will punish them one day, for their insult towards her dear son.
For some reason, Indian society tends to think Feminism = Women superiority, and it's not. Feminism means equality, and equality means both men and women must face the consequences of their actions.
If men and women are equal, which they are, then women shouldn't be let off easily just for their gender. If they commit a crime, they should be punished just as anyone else would.
And thus, Shurpanakha deserved what she got, just like Tataka, Ravan, Khar and Dushan, etc.
