In 1952, we, the people of India, accepted our Constitution & declared ourselves as a socialist secular republic with adult franchise. On that day we denied Rama & the Ramrajya.
There were elements in Hindu society then, who wanted to bring Ram Rajya. We strongly disagreed & dumped the idea of Ram Rajya. By doing that we did not dishonor India in any way, actually we did India proud.
Rama does not qualify to become our ideal & no one should ever try to force him upon us. Rama does not equate with India. India is much greater than Rama. India is a reality. Rama is a fiction, an imaginary character from an epic. Therefore, donot cry in the name of Rama!
As for Setu Samudram, it is an issue to be sorted out by experts on merits of the case alone. No foul cries of religious sentiments should be allowed to blackmail the nation.
