I am a Muslim woman married to a longtime Hindu boyfriend. We have two kids whom we teach both Ramayan and the Holy Quran. Why we make out too much of nothing? Ram was and will always remain a great character, so was Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and so were all great prophets and saints. If the government has already withdrawn its affidavit... why then abuse one another...

Dear Madam You are a true symbol of secularism and the rich heritage and tolerence that India is known for. Leave alone all these pseudo secularists - if ony we have more people like you and your husband, there will be no more communal /religious disputes-- all vote creeping poltics will melt away. God bless your family Jai Hind

Its not a question of withdrawal of an affidavit maa'm. Its a question of lopsided attitude of the government towards a faith. This has been a policy of the congress to divide people by creating religious controversies. Remember the constitutional ammendment done by Rajiv gandhi to deny a muslim woman her rights to divorce aluminy? (The famous shahabano case). To slap us on our face and then say 'sorry' is just not right. It hurts. There is no law against blashphemy in our country. If it is needed for economic reasons to make the sea deep at Setubandha, the Government should do it. But to question the very existance of Lord Rama, by our own Government makes Hinduism a laughing stalk in the whole world. What is that religion, whose elected representatives themselves consider it as folklore or myth? Already Hinduism is looked down upon as a culture of idol worship. Now if our own Government swears in its apex court through an affidavit that Rama is nothing but a mythical figure then whole world will call us Pagan on our face. My opinion is that if you need to reconstruct something at the setubandha, go ahead but please dont hurt our feelings. Is this because our country has a sikh prime minister?

The problem in our country is that Hindus are not united as much as the so-called minorities as represented by you are. You are calling Shri Ram a "character". I am sure you will not have the courage to call your prophet (who always appears to suffer from lack of peace that all you characters have to say PBUH whenever you take his name) a character. Mind your language C. Will you call your PBUH a character? Before you start preaching us, learn your language right. "Character" is a derogatory word whether it is prefixed with great or small.
