Or take this person. Ahmad Omar Saeed Sheikh, he is a British Pakistani terrorist. In 1994, he kidnapped 3 British and 1 American tourist in India. In 1999, when an Indian Airlines flight was hijacked, he was one of the 3 terrorists released by the Indian government then.
Later he was involved in the kidnapping of a Wall Street Journal, and is said to have been involved in the 9/11 attacks. Did you know that he was so intelligent that he got admission to the prestigious London School of Economics? In university, he was a chess champion. And he was fluent in 5 languages. So can this intelligence make him a lesser evil? Obviously not.
The same thing is applicable to Ravan. No matter how powerful Ravan was, however talented he was, no matter how many holy scripts he knew, he had committed a crime by kidnapping Sita. it doesn’t make him a lesser evil.
