I am an indian and I am pained at daggers being drawn in the name of God. There is no denying the fact that Lord Ram lives in hearts of millions who have the freedom of religion. To ridicule Ram is like ridiculing the faith of some, which are politicians are quite capable of.
My community, the sikhs have faced a lot of ridicule during recent Dera controversy when a small time crook tried to act like Guru Gobind Singh. Media and the so called intellectuals called sikhs as fools and tried to compare the colour of clothes and the photographs of Guru Gobind Singh to blame intolerance on sikhs. The point was that dera head ridiculed the sacred Amrit Sanchar Ceremony of Sikhs like some politicians are questioning existance of Lord Ram.
Lord Ram epitomises truth and is a dutiful son, an ideal husband and elder brother who is reliable. There can be n number of debates and counter questioning on his physical existance but ridiculing him is like blasphemy.
It pinches when somebody ridicules your faith. It really pinches me when majority enjoy by sikh jokes. Understand the pinch me dear friends.
Love your religion. Then you will respect all religions.
All show way to God. It is fight between believers and non-believers. Do not make it Hindu vs Muslim fight.
