Though we boast of our oldest culture, unfortunate part of it is that we interpret it in a wrong way for wrong things. Again, it is sad that we mix up and terribly confuse the millions of illiterates and semi-literates (and of course, some deceitful literates also)on culture, religion and belief against realities and facts of life. Coming to the controvery of Ram's existence, it is to be said that according to the Hindu Yuga calculations, if Ram was born, that would have happened before 68 lakhs years. Please see the stupidity of the belief which is even difficult to imagine especially with the fact that earliest civilisation known to mankind is just about 5000 old. Encashing on the superstition and innocent belief is to be considered as a treachery to the nation and constitutional provision should be there to punish those who indulge in such activities which may ruin the country.
