Meanwhile, the battle of Ramayana has reached the political field. The scrapping of "300 Ramayanas" has turned into a fight between Right and Left. The pro-Left academic community was out on streets on Monday to protest the scrapping of Ramanujan's essay, calling it wanton philistinism and violation of freedom of speech. The right wingers on the other hand claim that the essay is blasphemous. If the essay is reinstated, then there is likely to be a big uproar from the Right Wing. One wonders which Ramayana among the 300, Lord Rama would have liked. One thing is for sure. Rama would not like the current 'Ramayana' between Right and Left!
