@jeena actually today morning some thoughts about Lakshman parityaag came into my mind and I felt I need to write something more on that.
See there was a confusion in me on Lakshman Parityaag. Because if you vanvass happened to Ram was adharma. He took the adharma and 2 people followed him on that adharma and 1 adhered to that adharma.Siya, Lakshman by following and urmila by accepting. So whenever you are supporting adharma, you have to face the consequences of it or rather you will be at the receiving end of adharma.Why did Ram take adharma, because only by taking adharma he can establish dharma. Negative *Negative is positive theory. With his vanvass Ram started the process of establishing dharma by taking the power from wrong hands. Dasrath died and Kaikeyi lost her power.Now Sita faces the adharma in her banishment. It is her punishment of following adharma during vanvass. Because vanvass was only for Ram. Now Sita takes that adharma, fights it and helps Ram establish the dharma that is changing laws of the land to bring gender equality.Now come Lakshman who too followed adharma. He is banished. But note that banishment. Ram brokes blind vachan palan there. He asks learnt people what is the alternative. He cannot give death sentence to his brother. It was symbolically showing that according to time and circumstance you have to think. If you cannot keep your promise as it is adharma, ask people if there is an alternative.Here Lakshman is given an option of taking Urmila and moving out. He is asked to follow dharma. But then Lakshman is a man of old sanskriti who cannot see a life apart from his brother. For that he commits suicide. His banishment and suicide is symbolic of people who are attached to existing sanskriti blindly who cannot cope with change. If you banish that sanskriti from yourself, it will get destroyed on its own irrespective of Prakriti trying to support it. Because that Sanskriti cannot take or listen to Prakriti's advice because it will lose its identity.So life with such a man or rather a soldier is always tough for a woman. Because they are aligned to Sanskriti and goes with Sanskriti. You cannot blame them. They are like that. Duty bound in what they think is the greatest service. Not knowing Sanskriti can always alienate them.It's not betrayal. Their relation was always like that.

In Shri Sai Satcharita, my Guru Shri Sai Maharaj gives a very detailed explanation of this shloka stating how in order to expel ignorance , the Guru actually imparts another kind of ignorance because actually knowledge is not impartible, it is only self realisable...
So I got the point of negatives actually adding up to positives...
Yes I agree that blindly following sanskriti is not right but why to reject the good points of sanskriti...
I believe that one of the basic reasons for moving from prakriti to sanskriti is that the prakriti follows the jungle rule or the survival of the fittest theory... But sanskriti tries to harness it towards ideally a world where actually the weak can thrive too ... When the sanskriti moves against this very goal and starts suppressing the weak instead of protecting them , prakriti takes over and does away with these biases... And that is bound to happen..
But why to reject the good qualities of sanskriti... A loving brother following his brother into the difficulties of his life and a dutiful wife following her husband in misery is good sanskriti , then why adharma? The husband too should reciprocate for it be an ideal world.. an ideal sanskriti... But the wife not going with the husband will not make for an ideal sanskriti
