A wife should be like goddess Sita: Bombay HC
timesofindia.indiatimes.com
"Without any disregard to Bombay high court orders,i am herewith quoting exclusively from the book,titled 'the Ramayan,a new point of view'[author P.H.Gupta]-"...with the defeat and death of Ravana,there was an end to the sorrows of Rama and there should have been an end to the sorrows of Sita as well.Unfortunately it was not the case.Rama against all evidence,suspected the chastity of his wife during her captivity and banished her from his kingdom to spend the last days of her life in the forests. This he did after taking her into his affection and having made her pregnant.Sita put an end to her sorrows by burying herself alive. Thousands of people including Rishis,Devas,Kings and Brahmins gathered to witness the ghastly scene but not one of them had the courage or good sense to raise his little finger to prevent the tragedy.If the whole world was unkind to her,the mother earth at last was kind to her...If for the whole world,Sita is a great pativrata and the embodiment of virtue,for Rama she was only a means of gratifying the sexual passion...Sita is the personification of man's injustice to women in this country through the ages.Many people hesitate to give the beautiful name of good Sita to their daughters for fear that they may secure cruel and heartless husband like Rama. Who can blame them?"[page 155-156]...And million dollar question arises-'god' Indra once defiled the chastity of Ahalya,the wife of sage Ghutam.Ahalya the impure was purified by the simple one touch of supposed god Rama;even if we take Sita to be impure,she would automatically be purified ,as she was in constant touch of so called maryada parshotam[preserver of propriety of conduct].That she was not purified only shows Rama at that time was not 'god' and was only a ordinary chauvinistic male.As reincarnation of Vishnu,in Sita's case his attributes-omnipotent,omnipresent,omniscient and above all benevolent ,are quite logically questionable. What a divine paradox???"
