Taken from a usenet posting - whew!!
The negationist television serials depict Sita as supposedly denying Ravan's advances. However, the oldest versions of Ramayana (read - those not yet manipulated by the Brahmins) belie these falsehoods, and amply demonstrate that Sita willingly eloped with Ravana, the Black Tamil King.
Thus Sita told Rama "You are no better than a womanmonger who lets his wife for hire and makes his livelihood. You want to be profited by my prostitution". Sita also told Rama "You lack in POTENCE, manners and charm" and she called her husband a simpleton.
As soon as Sita stepped into Ravan's palace, her love towards Ravan grew more. (Aranya Kandam, Chapter 54).
When at length Rama asked Sita to swear about her chastity, she declined and died. (Uttar Kandam, Chapter 97)
Kukuvavathy, sister-in-law of Rama, said to him - "Oh Elder! How you love Sita more than you love yourself! Come with me and see what really is in your lovely wife's heart. Still she could not forget that fellow Ravan. Drawing a picture of Ravan on a hand-fan and pressing it closely to her bosom. She is lying on your bed with eyes closed thinking on and rejoicing at Ravan's glories. Rama sighed and went out to Sita's house. There she was found sleeping pressing to her breast the hand-fan on which Ravan's picture was drawn." (This is found in pages 199, 200 of the Bengali Ramayana written by Mrs. Chandravathi).
What stayed with you?
A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.

some general facts from ancient scriptures - brahmins were never a group of people but a characteristic called brahminism depending on action etc ..so mrs mrs chakko's vituperative attempt at maligning the character would be wrong .. priests .. maybe .. - but then priests never wrote the ramayana .. rishi "valmick's " original scriptures are still available which divides the ramayana into "x" number of kands{kandam for mrs chakko}out of which if i have my facts right then aranya kand was a different part from taht mentioned ..all the same i wish sita had a nice time with ravana .. though i feel bad for the monogamous ram .. who again according to mrs chakko might be making out with sabri in her sylvan gardens .. basically i feel taht mrs chakko has a tamilian neighbour who did some kand {something really bad} without a kandam{something really good} and now has a bongo tam relationship going .. which mrs chakko is trying to express to her rammatical husband ...
