Sita with a cigar in hand, has her purity perished? Cigar is
mental addiction for nicotine and effects physical health and not the soul so
sita is pure.
Sita had a boy friend before she married the one, has her
chastity became cheap? Has Seeta never imagined a model husband before she met Rama?
its debatable. Or has Seeta's imagination was exactly the same as that of Rama
s personality? Again raising further avenues to debate...
If she did not imagine
anyone either she is oblivious of male as an individual who will consummate
her. If she was unaware of this fact that means either she was a kid or she has
limited mental condition to understand the society. Here both the cases are
false as per what we know. Hence Seeta definitely would have imagined a certain
way of life after marriage and imagined the person be in a certain way. Some
where there was definitely a mismatch which was never told to us. If there was
no mismatch then why Seeta had to die unnatural death? If there was a mismatch
that means Seeta didn't want to get married to Rama, she was looking for a
different person all together or slightly drifting away from what Rama is. Now
since Seeta had someone else as well in her mind she controlled and suppressed
that idea and lived with the reality called Rama and Believed in belonging to
him for rest of her life. This decision can also have been consciously taken by
her nay be due to the social circumstances and the pressure that is delivered
on her by the society. Now tell me is she the symbol of chastity still? As she
had an imaginary male in her mind before she met Rama?
I would say yes. As soon as she married Rama she disowned the
imagination and embraced reality 'The wife of Rama' this was her journey of
transformation from ignorant imagination to interesting reality.
So Sita s chastity does not become cheap just coz she had
a boy friend before she met the one. Sita is that every girl who will be making
a conscious choice for her own good. Her realization is her truth, respect her
for what she realized do not disdain her for her ignorant attempts find that
one that she deserved.
