Beautiful English, Empty argument. Valmiki’s Ramayana has lived for thousands of years through retellings, folk versions, regional versions, plays, TV serials and films, each one different from the last. It did not survive because gatekeepers like you protected it. You are upset that a film did not adapt the Itihasa exactly the way you wanted it to, so you have invented a crime called subversion, and a villain called Itihasic liberalism You are turning a film into a loyalty test. You expect that every artist pass your ideological purity check before he is allowed to touch our stories, That is not Hindutva. That is insecurity dressed up as dharma You do not want cinema to respect Itihasa. You want cinema to obey you
