What an age we live in! I think it is symptomatic of the Ills of India today that an article on whether Shri Ram existed many lakhs of years ago (as per the author) attracts a hundred comments within a few hours and many more counter comments. An article on the same website about the contemporary relevance of Bhagat Singh and his thought attracted not a single comment in four days (I tracked it). The same held true for an article on the plight of Indian Farmers. If Ram was a Karmayogi then we modern Indians seem to think little of our modern day Karmayogis and are satisfied with mere small talk and by running each other down.

Not only Bhagat Singh, this goes for all the revolutionaries of Indian independence. If need be, we should defend them as well. There are also many more unknown revolutionaries who are never honoured. Anyways do not make a hotch potch out of everything please. If someone else is defending Lord Rama, why don't you take the first step and do something for the other things that you deem important? We can all share the load in different ways, instead of breaking up and throwing mud at each other. PS: I started writing in rediff today, so extremely sorry for not contributing to the other articles you mentioned. But I am sure you did the needful then.

How very juvenile! You and others of your ilk like fantasy more than reality. Buy a comic book!

Bhagat Singh is a National Hero. No question on it? nobody can comment anything on Him!!! Hence no comments! and about Farmers, our Politicians should be made to till the land then they'll know what it takes to be a farmer!
