[shree1980]

Very powerfully portrayed. Khub bhalo laglo.

[odissiodyssey]

.....Through this mythological story, wartime diplomacy and Meghnad’s courage, disappointment and anguish find expression....

The poet, Michael Madhusudan Dutt portrayed Meghnad in shining glory - moral, courageous, patriotic being who put up a valiant resistance against Ram’s invasion in Lanka..

[odissiodyssey]

......As the norms prohibited Meghnad from using the weapons before the rites were over, he fought, unarmed, with an armed Lakshman. As the battle went on, suddenly Meghnad realized that the gods, riding chariots, were hovering over the embattled duo; they were raining flowers on Lakshman. In fact, Lord Shiva, of whom Meghnad was a loyal and steadfast devotee, too was on Lakshman’s side. Finally, Meghnad, the great patriot, was slain by Lakshman..... Contd.
