Reading Notes Week 12 pt. 2
Panic in Lanka.
I decided to focus on this story of Lanka because I was not as familiar with this part of the Ramayana.
It is impressive how a single monkey can cause so much damage to such a large fortification such as Lanka. I really like the character the "Demon King". Even so that the demon king has incredibly powerful generals who command vase armies. Although, they lack intelligence and political wisdom. This reminds me of some generals in the 70's and 80's in the United States Airforce and how they did not care what the smart and affordable moves were but rather what the "job promoting" moves were. The blunders of the Rakshasas continue to be evident as Hanuman snuck into Lanka. This reminds me of the Normandy invasion and how British commandos would sneak onto the beaches and take photos and soil samples. Additionally,
Lanka could be compared to the Maginot Line in France and how the Germans simply went around these massive defenses. Sometimes great leaders foolishly put all of their faith in walls and cannons when they should look at all of their assets as a whole.
