Both reveal human nature vividly. As the preface to Mahabharata says, whatever is there in the world will be found in it: love, hatred, war, peace, lust, greed, jealousy... everything. Rama's angst is our own. His helplessness is our own. Unfortunately people spiritualised the whole thing and stripped Rama and other characters of their humanness, Eventually we started fighting in their names forgetting what they taught. But that's true in the case of every religion. <br /><br />Religion is merely a tool for achieving worldly things such as power. Ayodhya is also fundamentally a political issue more than religious. It is about 'garv' rather than god.

Ramayana, to me, is not more than one of the finest literary creations in the world. It contains history; it contains the best narrations about human life and transformations. How Raman, it's protagonist, who took a personal decision to spend long fourteen years in the forest ends up asking Sitha to declare her purity. This purification is strictly religious, and after returning to his kingdom, he becomes a slave in the hands of the Brahmin men who by then had taken total control of India. He couldn't take any personal decision not to sent his wife to the fearsome forest. And with abandoning Sita, he knew, he was abandoning his future-his children. Who's winning in Ramayana? The rotten Brahmanic religion and their imposterous utterances in the name of God and spirituality. The majority dumb-ass Indians see their primary objective in life is to show absolute commitment to these impostures. These men are an extremely dangerous creed. They can see dreams as they shit, and there are these dumb-asses to execute those wishes. And the impact of colonialism has brought untold miseries to India. Who is responsible for the uncountable death of the Muslims and Hindus in the name of Indian partition. How was no boundary between India and Pakistan not promulgated until two days after India's freedom day? How could Nehru not see the danger? It's sad. Now the bloody brahmins are still ruling India. So, the history of India offers so much more to sense than what appears on paper.

If gandhi was to see any of the religious riots in Indian history he would have cursed himself and died. people dont learn to see religion and politics to be different and value humanity over them. It's India's curse that she has such ignorant and careless citizens none to be knownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04925611314328647485noreply@blogger.com
