Sen & Nonsense - II

Previous post

Argumentative Indian is a source of much hilarity most of it unintended.

One such nugget of wisdom goes, "While Hindu extermists may assert the Rama is a God, in Ramayana he is depicted as a epic hero".

I am somewhat puzzled why no one catches this wise man at his lies.

Here in the bAlakANDa of the vAlmIki-rAmAyaNa you can clearly see that viShNu incarnated as the son of dasharatha. Some people claim that bAlakANDa, like uttarakANDa, is a later addition - but this is the rAmAyaNa as we know it today.

Jaffna : nice to see you back.

Jaffna,

The irony is he is more considered to be more of a authority in matters of history than historians (because they are saffronites you see)

Frog,

But Sen's lie is so pathetic, why bother rebutting it !

Regards

Unfortunately, he is not the only "scholar" who believes that in rAmAyaNa rAma is merely a hero and not a God.
