umpteenth times our leaders swear by his name and not once do they try to realize the actual concept called "ram"
Here my caling of ram a concept shouldnt b taken as an offence. i dont know if he has really existed in this world . even the alleged author of this epic VALMIKI cant b said to hav existed. even if he did ,i doubt his being contemprory of ram ,assuming that ram existed in first place. so in my world , as narrow it may seem ,ram is a well documented imaginative perception of some "moral cop".
in this guy's perception ,rma respects his parents,heeds to his gurus,fights evil vehemently and all those goodies dat creates a heroic image in the readers mind. i hav no problem with dis idealistic approach towards life until it comes to the point where ram sends his wife,who was pregnant at that time ,into "exile" ;all becuse of a dhobi's indirect provocation(though i shuldnt b saying it a provocation,i couldnt find a better word). this episode raises serious doubt about ram's character. we can safely assume that(even the author of epic wants us to do so) this dhobi was wife thrashing dumbass who doent hav an iota of idea of the importance of woman as exemplified in the vedas. the question here is not dat why the dhobi did so; rather the question here is fdat didnt ram hav the conscience of his own? to maintain the credibility of himself ,he very conviniently disposes of his wife.now how can it be said to b right if SITA is made to pay for the misgivings of person she doesnt even know. and where is the credibility in RAM ,whose idea of woman serenity is more physical than moral.
now wrt modern society how far can we relate this episode
actually SITA is not just the plight of women in this "society" ,but its the case of all the human beings who try to find their voices but all they could find in the end is a feeble hush of despair. these people are made to suffer for some other's misgivings. The "ethics" of today's "leaders" really are wierd. They wont work for "insaan"; but for hindus, muslims et al., .its all der for us to see where these policies landed us. And who pays for all these wrongs---its us.
Now i hope people reading this can interpret it well when the politicians say 'we want to establish "RAMRAJYA" . the politicians actually mean it.And they say politicians are all about hypocrisy.
PS: some words hav been double quoted owing to their ironic relevance to our society.
