Re: Most Evil Women in History
You are not the first person to ask me that...some thought that Sri Lankans worship him...it is not true at all..I honestly dnt know how it all started (that ppl think we like him).
Sri Lankans consists of 4 religions :
1.Buddhism 2. Christianity 3. Islam 4. Hinduism
None of those religions like or promote Raavan - the Buddhism is a way of life - some buddhists worship hindu gods Christians and Muslims will have nothing to do with Raavan Hindus - look at Raavan as evil - so they will not like him either...
No Sri Lankan I know has ever said anything that even remotely suggests that they think of him in a positive way.....
Nice points Aaliya put in a simple way. Will find out material to discuss it in some other thread.

Re: Most Evil Women in History
Are there any evil women, whose evilness can’t be described in simple and easy to understand language.

^ just to add, I remember in Chennai, there are some who worship Ravana.
Ravana was not a bad person. He never did "molest" Sita. Treated her with respect. He wore his emotions on his sleeve. He had two brothers. Vibheeshana abandoned him and crossed over to enemy ranks after advising Ravana to give up Sita. His other brother Kumbhakarna - the guy who loved to sleep, stood by him. He reprimanded Ravana for his acts. Ravana asked him - so are you abandoning me. To which the sleeping giant responded - of course not, I wil die for you.
So Kumbhakarna is my favorite character in Ramayana. But I digress - and will stop!

Yes am Sinhalese…
I dnt think if we take him as Hitler of SL - as far as I know we take it as a legend …though they do say that top tip of SL and India, where I have circled on the map below is where Ram built the bridge to Sri Lanka to bring Seeta back…
Actually I only studied in SL till I was in 4th grade…so I dnt know too many facts…
(But I remember the last Indian guy who came upto me and asked me why we worship Raavan, I asked him back “Which ignorant idiot told you that?”, and he pointed to his friend 
)

Hattori San, that means “I did not know that” in your native Japanese - in response to the Punjab/Haryana polyandry post!

Worshipping as god or what? Beacuse we know there are people who worship Satan for gaining evil powers.

To the best of my knowledge, they worship Ravana as God. Ravana I dont think was evil. And since he died in the battlefield, I believe he is in the abode of the brave.

You wanna say that he was 'Shaheed' of that era?
Re: Most Evil Women in History
^ I meant to say, it can be assumed he is in the abode of the brave. (I have no idea what I believe!)
Re: Most Evil Women in History

Exactly! He died a brave man's death - fought gallantly till the end.
Re: Most Evil Women in History

Re: Most Evil Women in History
Zulekha (from Hazrat Yusaf (A.s) waqya).....does she come under this category for plotting the evil ideas?.
Re: Most Evil Women in History

Yes she comes under this category. Her character as defined in Quran is limited to plottting of evil ideas and then accepting that before the ruler of the country (after Hazrat Yousuf freed from prison subsequent to telling meaning behind the dream that annoyed the rule for many nights).
The story tellers took her charcter to next level and say that she was then married to Hazrat Yousuf afterwards.
Nice point. Other women with evil charcters mentioned in Quran are: Wives of Hazrat Nuh and Abu Lahab.
