These are not things SKR invented, but it is there in Valmiki Ramayan itself .
What SKR did was elevating Ram. Showing to a large section of woman like me why Ram is Maryadapurushottam. Why he did what he did. What was his intention in doing it. Because I feel as a woman I have to understand Ram for what he is. And every woman should. Because only then you will be able to differentiate Ravan's and Dasrath in the society who are roaming around wearing the clock of Ram asking for AP, pointing fingers at woman and in general enjoys the facility of patriarchy. Instead of blindly going against all men, I feel if a woman understand Ram, she will be in a better position to coexist.Believe me a Dasrath is more dangerous than Ravan. Because likes of him always have a kind of power that makes woman do sacrifice for them. They break you emotionally.Ravan couldn't break Sita or take the sweetness from her. But Ayodhya did it. The hypocrite double standards of Ayodhya sucked the life out of Mahalakshmi herself.
@red this is exactly what we(me and Aditi) were discussing yesterday
Siya's POV had given as the best understanding of Ram
Though Siya has done all the things u mentioned
But some how she is been considered a doormat
or it wan't conveyed properly
may be that's how society wanted to see it
Now here in SKR we see her strength and decisions
As usual change doesn't come easily
takes time I guess
But glad that SKR has initiated it
