Oh! Lord !!
Oh! Lord Rama, the man of great characters. I read something about you today and I felt disturbed. I need answer from you.
I read you did Ashwamegh Yagya, so that you could become liberated from the sins of killing Brahmans. And you ordered you soldiers, if any one comes or stops your horse should meet with ruthless punishment. This "ruthless punishment" here disturbs me. History has attached such adjectives with the likes of Chengiz Khan or Hitler who were ruthless to whoever came in between their path of conquering the world. Your name was hung around the neck of the horse. Was that to terrify others so that no one would touch your horse or just to make aware that it belongs to your beloved Rama let him go. But if letter is the case then why thousands of soldiers followed it ? Did people worshiped you and continue to worship because they were [are] terrified of you ?
I further read and felt even more disturbed. Luv and Kush, most probably little innocent kid around that time stop your horse. And your army of thousands soldiers, mighty Hanuman, Pushkal, Shatrughan fought with Luv who was alone and a little kid. Did you have an insensitive army ? For the hunger of victory they even decided to kill little kids ? Well may be thats what you instructed, kill whoever obstruct the movement of your horse ?How come to get rid of sins of killing Brahman you decided to kill others ? Is the story of Shambuk I heard is true ? Were you also biased towards caste ?
I further read and came to know that they were your own son. I wonder why instead of enlightening the orthodox fisherman you choose to exile your wife ? Why you favored some one who was utterly wrong over some one who was so devoted to you and followed you, supported you even in the worst of your time ?
Oh! Lord! Enlighten me! I belong to a country which is blindly into religion. Which is divided on the name of cast at every step of life. A male chauvinistic country, where women are being oppressed. Is it because we continue to worship you?
