“Ravan’s behavior should be considered ‘a little mischievous’ instead of ‘evil’ !”

• Actress Simi Garewal Glorifies Ravana on ‘X’

• She deleted the post after facing backlash !

New Delhi – On the occasion of Dussehra, Simi Garewal glorified Ravan and stirred an unexpected debate online with a post on her X handle. In a surprising note, she praised Ravan, calling him “slightly naughty” and claiming he was “more educated than half of our Parliament.”

Simi Garewal stated the below about Ravan 

Addressing Ravan directly, Garewal wrote, “Dear Ravana, every year, on this day, we celebrate the victory of good over evil. But technically your behaviour should be re-classified from ‘Evil’ to ‘Slightly Naughty’.”

She went on to justify her unconventional view, highlighting that although Ravan abducted Sita, he treated her with respect, offering “Good food, shelter, and even women security guards (not too good looking though).” She added, “Your request for marriage was full of humility and you never threw acids when rejected. Even when Lord Rama killed you, you were wise enough to seek his apologies and I believe you were more educated than half of our Parliament.”

Garewal concluded on a light-hearted note, saying, “Trust me dude, there’s no bitterness in our hearts when you are burned. It’s just a tradition. Happy Dussera.” (Has Simi Garewal ever dared to distort the stories of Islam or Christianity in this way ? – Editor)

Editorial Perspectives

• Calling Ravan – who assaulted thousands of women and killed sages – ‘mischievous’ is intellectual bankruptcy !
• Without having even a basic understanding of the Ramayan, interpreting it in one’s own way and glorifying Ravan in a manner that creates confusion among Hindus is condemnable !
