This is a message to Indians scattered in every nook and cranny of this world.It pains me to see columns like this.Why can't people think beyond their own petty prejudices.In my experience most of the people who make a hue and cry about Hindu sentiments and their affinity to Ram etc are the first to run to US or UK at the first opportunity.Look at all the NRI Hindus in the US. They are more westernised than the westerners themselves.Why are you are so two-faced?
I think after all these years of dispute for once people are waking up to the fact that Ram has no historical proof.This is an issue which should have been discuss way back.Maybe then we wouldn't have had all this Hindu-Muslim violence and all these saffron parties would have just been cults. No one can argue about it.Where is the proof that Ram existed?
Christianity and Islam have solid proof.Both these religions also originated in Asia and not in Europe.
Or even going by faith as this columnist says, I'm sorry to say Ram is truly overrated.We all Ramayana ends with Ram suspecting his wife.So your point about him being a caring husband is moot.
And just to remind you.India is a secular country even though she harbors communal trash like you.So please stop writing stuff like this which is based on your faith but which to the rest of us is a myth.Let's not berate our motherland with such pettiness.
For once, just once let's all just think of ourselves as Indians and not Hindus, Muslims or Christians.

How about all three traditions of Books, fighting Fighting with Each other and Killing as of RIGHT NOW in Middle East.
Do they really know what Religion Means???
And My Brother So Called "COMMUNIST". Did you ever wonder it's History was also BLOODY???
Now my Socalled "INTELLECTUALS" TRY TO LIVE IN PAKISTAN FOR ONE GENERATION, NO BODY WILL BE FIND A TRACE OF YOU ???

@Nithyapriya Inbaraj
When you say "Christianity and Islam have solid proof"
What proof are you talking about with Christ.
Do you know that ALL 4 gospels of the so-called apostles are contradictory to each other The ressurrection of Christ is crux of Christianity, then what nonsense are you talking about?
When you are able to truly read and comprehend the Ramayana and not from the brainwashed viewpoint of the padre/mulla, then statements like you made come about.
Try to get above the visceral hatred of the Hindu faith and understand the philosophy of Sanatana Dharma.
Live not in fear of "hell" like inculcated into your barin by the Semetic faiths. That fear and guilt complex fed into your brain warps your thinking
Taking pot shots and denigrating the Hindu faith does not make the Semetic faiths TRUE IN ANY FASHION.
I can tell you that if you cannot get the story straight after TWO THOUSAND years and then you swallow the lie, then rational discussion is not possible.
So can the B.S. and understand that the Hindus do know about their faith and Rma lives on in our hearts and WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO.

'For once, just once let's all just think of ourselves as Indians'
This could solve the whole lot of problems at once But the BJP and its spoiled kids like RSS VHP do not want thet way. They do not want a peaceful India And will never get a foothold in Indian politics without this blood games They cant complain about econmmy, When BJP left power the stock market was at 6000 points But today it is going to march at 18000. What will they do, they are running out of reasons

@ albert
You seem to change colours very fast.
You tALk about "South India" and South Indians as being seperate from the North and then preach Indian Unity.
You want to revere what Karunanidhi said after he hurt so many millions' sentiment.
What sheer hypocrisy.
When people respond to your Hindu bashing you, then ask them to take a higher road, while you yourself make snide remarks and denigrate Hindu faith.
YOur last ludicrous statement about the Sensex being much higher now than when BJP left office is bordering on the ridiculous.
This is a DIRECT benefit of investment and GOOD GOVERNANCE BY THE BJP.
How foolish to think that this could have happened without planning and investment made YEARS before results come to fruition.
Is that not why all of us go to school and INVEST years of our life so that the benfits come about YEARS later.
In your zeal to put down BJP and Hindus you forget that we Hindus are also aware of the brainwashing that occurs by the padre/mulla and that in some instances (not all) your loyalty lies more to yuor faith than your antion.
So, the time for fooling Hindus by manipulation IS COMING TO AN END.

I am a kannadiga from bangalore (south Indian)and for me all gods are equal.We people don't discriminate among gods.So, dont categorise south indians as a single group. If you have filth and hatred in your mind(for reasons, what so ever), keep it for yourself.Don't try to divide hindus.

Dear Leftist, you try to be an 'argumentative Indian' but alas(!), your arguments fail miserably because your are camouflaged religious zealout who tries to be a bit submissive - nothing more and nothing less ! You still think people are 'waking up' to fact that Ram has no historical proof ?Raam continues to be in our hearts and will be adored as 'Maryada purushottham' since time immemorial and for the next generations to come.You need to wake up and align to this feeling of majority - "Never messup with our Ram". you fool , how can you say Islam and Christianity have solid proofs ? Read the comments in this forum by my friends and you start doubting the origins of your religions(I bet you are one among these.Tell me what 'solid' proof you need about hinduism? We have nurtured zealouts like you in our country and that itself is the proof of my religion and religious attitude towards other religions. If ever, RAM is overrated its because people like you bring him to discussions for all wrong and selfish reasons. A last point - India can be a secular country agreed...This secularism should not be at the cost of one's religion and appeasing the other.Secular YES..RAM..YES

Good Point - So Christainity and ISLAM have solid proof ?
Can U please give the Proof of Allah and whichever GOD is worshipped by JEWS and Christianity ? CAN U PROVE the existence in these Religions?
We don't want the stupid proof that Mohammed heard a voice from Allah or Mosses heard a voice from a Burning Bush ? Apply the same facts to Them which U apply to the existence of RAM as a GOD ?
