Padmavathy, the queen of Chitoor

The tale about Padmavathi  of Chitoor

Has no base of historical evidence.

She is glorified for her chastity

And self immolation in defiance.

The tale of Kannaki of Poompukar

Has no historical events to back.

She is personified for chastity

And retaliation against misjudgment.

The epic around Seeta of Ayodhya

Has only mythological referances.

She is epitomized for her fast virtue

And staunch resistance to guard chastity.

Padmavath is the pride of Rajputs.

Kannaki is the pride of the Tamils.

Seta is the pride of most of Hindus.

All the three heroines are goddess equal.

There are many versions of these fictions.

All versions uphold woman’s purity.

The Hindi film Padmavathy must follow suit.

To stall its release by some is immature
