Sorry to butt in. On this I agree with @authoramish . I HAVE read the Valmiki Ramayana & at no place are those words used. Yes we humanize gods & interpret them but to say Valmiki Ramayana used those words is inaccurate . @rupasubramanya

Thanks. Problem as I see is you using the term "loose translation".Had you called it "colloquial rendering" of your sense of what Sita getting at in that passage rather than use the word translation even though you preface with loose, perhaps it might have been less controversial
-
Don't think that would have changed the outrage she faced. Better not to use words that can cause anger.. many interpreting misogynistic pig as literal pig.
-
"better not to use words that can cause anger". This is exactly what the Islamists say.

What I mean is
@AudreyTruschke maybe could have made the same point with terms that didn't seem so harsh, given sensitivity. Anyway, glad you had the stamina to argue this through despite the outrage

She doesn't even use the word interpretation. That is the problem here! She uses the word translation which is inaccurate. And I'm hoping she clarifies. With you attributing the word "interpretation" to her, needlessly creates more confusion.

It’s even WORSE if she says it’s TRANSLATION... and not just free interpretation ( like how today’s modern woman will call her husband)...is Seeta EVER likely to use such words? That’s where your inability to comprehend comes in, madam.

There is no point arguing with turncoat like Rupa. Thier stand is on sale 24X7 by any political junkies. People like Rupa are more dangerous & bigger threat to our civilization than Audrey herself.

You have nailed it, everyone can have his or her interpretation but as long as they say it is theirs. However people simply are using scriptures to propogate their own

Paavam Ruppan has lost it these days. She sees a picture of lightbulb in a room and concludes that electricity has not reached houses in the village. Best ignored.

.... Saw those tweets. Can't believe that at the beginning. -
She is very strict these days. She is about to question existence.
