Reading Notes: Sita Sings the Blues Part B

    There was not a whole lot of new information from part B. I do want to mention though that part A said that Hanuman was an incarnation of Shiva which was new information for me. As for part B, it was about the controversial part of Ramayana where Sita has to be unjustly exiled. Not only did she already prove her purity before going back to Ayodhya, she had to be exiled later on because Rama's subjects did not believe it for some reason. She had to be tested again after Rama sees her in exile and she "returns to earth" in doing so. I was hoping there would be some fresh takes on this part of the story, because I absolutely hate it.
