my mom who is both a devout Hindu & a feminist used to really dislike Ram for the way he treated Sita..but when she realized the misery Ram himself went through (he really loved Sita..he could have remarried but he did not. He even got a golden statue made of her to be used in a ritual instead of marrying again like some suggested him to) *sigh* Ram and Sita went through a lot.
Anyways the movie is so creative ♥ It's delightful to watch & at the same time opens your eyes to significant issues
In answer to your question, the answer is yes...kind of. Public displays of affection are criminalized by the Indian government under Section 294 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 with a punishment of imprisonment which may extend to three months, or with fine, or both. However, kissing has been found to be an exception.
I feel that ppl R C'ing da Sita episode wid -'tiv perception. Here is my View
da theme of Ramayan was 2 dipict how a Son/Husband/King or any person should lead there lives. u can observe dis when ram goes to live in jungle on mare say so of his father and similar examples through out the story. In sita's case Ram was a king who should consider the opinions of his people and thus he had to forgo his most loved wife for the sake of harmony in people. A king should command Respect frm his people.
Very inventive. I love the dancing butterflies. I noticed Sita was not running from Ravana...Hmmm Hanuman band with dancing palms. Beautiful full lotuses
There is a less known epic from Serbian culture about a wife of a noble who was kidnapped by a Turkish conquer. She actually gave in and became his concubine and later when her husband freed her everyone wanted to punish her for not remaining pure (that meant gauging her eyes and letting her live the rest of her life in a monastery). Her husband, in his greatness, forgave her and wouldn't let anyone harm her...interesting to see what "greatness" is in different cultures.
I wouldn't be suprised if that story may be related to this one via th gypsies that settled in romania. Gypsies were, afterall, originally from India.
@WINKYINTHELAND: I know that this is contrary to the normal interpretation of the Ramayana, but it's an epic that is definitely open to interpretation. I have faith in Hinduism and I know what the Ramayana means to me (it may not agree to Ms. Paley's interpretation but it's something I believe is what the Ramayana is trying to say.). She has to right to share her interpretation with the world, that does not mean she is criticizing the religion.

Oh yeah, I still remember what you guys did when someone wrote muhammad's cartoon...... this is just insulting hindu culture and a direct attack on our beliefs. You need a lot of spanking and teaching on hinduism.
5:09 ...That purple guy... Is he... not wearing any pants? ...I really am culture shocked.

@felisleo101 It's so ironic that modern India has that law...I guess the only PDAs allowed are reserved for all the temple sculptures????
