Decades after it first aired, Doordarshan's Ramayan has become a topic of conversation on Twitter

MUMBAI: Ramayan is being discussed on Twitter! In fact, the conversation has taken a gender-based turn, with some calling Kaikeyi a b**ch and hurling abuses at Manthara. These characters kept trending on Twitter.

There has been a debate centred on the feminism quotient in the show, too. While some users felt that Ramayan did not mete out fair treatment to its female characters, others felt that the storyline champions women's empowerment.

Hailing the storyline as an instance of women's empowerment, a viewer tweeted, 'We were so progressive even 7000 yrs back, its amazing. Sita was very intelligent & warrior woman. Kaikeyi wasnt only a warrior, she was Saarthi of King Dashrath in Devasur sangram, which was not at all an easy task. True women empowerment. #Ramayan'.

However, not everyone felt the same way.

A viewer opined, 'Kaikeyi was a class A b**ch, wasn't she? Asking for her son to be crowned king was alright, but sending Ram to exile was evil at a whole new level. Don't bash me, I won't take it back!'
