Worst crimes in Ramayan was done by Ravana. Ravan should have outrightly demanded apology or fought war with Ram for cutting nose / ears of Surpankha. And his revenge for Surpankha's injury was with Ram and not Sita . But Ram's follies should be see as well. First, Ram should have resigned from kingship , make Laxman the King, and not abandoned Sita. Ram said that "public opinion was against Sita's staying as Queen", but King's responsibility to honor public opinion ends after resignation. And after resignation, he is private citizen, and only laws, and NOT opinions, apply. IOW, Ram had option of resigning and NOT abandoning Sita. IMO, it was criminal of him that he decided NOT to resign and instead abandon Sita. I wonder why till date, no critic said that "Ram should have resigned and not abandoned Sita". . The third biggest fault was of Laxman and Ram in cutting nose \ ears of Surpankha, sister of Ravan. There was no need. Laxman had already handcuffed Surpankha. She was a prisoner. And inflicting cruel punishment on a prisoner, that too a woman, is a crime, unless that person tries to repeat a crime. Ram / Laxman should have handed over handcuffed Surpankha to Ravan with warning that if she tried to harm anyone again, the consequences will be worse. Cutting nose etc was criminal. . Also, forth biggest fault was of Ram too ---- he refused to marry Surpankha. This is IMPORTANT. No Ramayan would have started if Ram had simpky agreed to marry Surpankha. No nose cutting, no abduction, no war, no public opinion to abandon Sita --- nothing would have happened if Ram had agreed to marry Surpankha in first place. Back then, polygamy was legal and a norm. And so refusal to marry was taken as insult by Surapnkha. Ram could have agreed to marry Sita with condition made with Ravan / Surpankha that only son of Sita will have kingdom. Back then, such conditions were common.In fact, this fault of Ram is central fault to whole bloodshed. If Ram had married Surpankha, no damage would have happened. . Then there is long list --- Ram's killing Bali was criminal ; Vibhishana was traitor etc etc and there is looooong list. . But one thing is shocking to me is that every Ramayan critic noticed ALL faults I have mentioned --- but none have noticed Ram's fault that he didnt resign and he refused to marry Surpankha !! . I dont know why no one before me noticed these faults of Ram !! . ==== . Another thing I noticed in H40 aka "Hanuman Chalisa" is that Tulasidas says that . 1. if a person is doing 'ram ke kaam' i.e.good deeds then Hanumanji will help him . 2. And Tulsida later says "asht sidhhi nau nidhi ke daata" i.e. Hanumanji, as I interpret this shloka, will try to get (8 Sidhies + 9 Nidhies + Sidhi + Nidhi ) = 19 wives or GFs , to someone who is doing "raam ke kaam" i.e. good deeds. !!! (please google on 8 sidhi and 9 nidhi ) . Again, this is my interpretation of H40. I wonder why no one ever noticed this till date. .
