That's a good point Jon. Don't you think that this observation doesn't gather much applause because it's posted in the wrong section. And out of curiosity(honest) which version of Ramayan is it from? I should admit i didn't read entire ramayan of any version, but it's the first time I came across any such story. It's possible that it was inserted in a tamil or malayalam version as the caste discrimination is relatively higher in these parts of India for atleast last 1000 years i guess.
