Ram an allegorical figure
by Mike Singh on Sep 15, 2007 06:07 PM

In my college days, while I was a student in Mar Ivanios College, Trivandrum, there was a preacher named Paul Sudhakar. Before his conversion to Christ, he was Sudhakara Menon, a nephew of our first defence minister late Krishna Menon. He used to argue with Hindu scholars and they have agreed with him that Ram and Krishna are purely allegorical figures. Just as Shakespeare wrote about Macbeth, Vyasa wrote about Ram and Krishna. Now a days people are trying to make them historical figures, but they are not really. All the Hindu scholars know about that. So just ask them and why make this unnecessary controversy and blame people against the truth? It is good to accept historical facts, without making history from allegory.
