Syaahi ki Awaaz

Our mythology has very well exemplified how good will always triumph upon evil. As children we have got our moral values from these stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata. The question here is that do we know it completely? Do we know the END?  And if you know, is it supposed to be called as happy ending?If you do not, let me narrate it to you.
