Worshipers of Ram may be lenient on him. Yet Ram was not on Sita. As for when the time arrived to choose between the two "dharmas" he chose to send his wife to exile just for the mental satisfaction of public. The same public then set his act as a precedent to further belittle women. Ram served his people. So much so that he forgot that awakening of the masses is what defines the duty of a king in true sense. And besides was it really difficult for him to not go to a second "Vanvas" for his wife who didn't even think for a moment before setting out with her husband to be equal partners in sorrow ? He could have handed the reigns over to Lakshman and Bharat who were proficient enough I am sure and could have moved out of Ayodhya with his wife. Which example is better i ask-"Ram a compliant ruler who gave into the mistakes made by the masses instead of correcting them" or "Ram- a devoted son, a thoughtful king a caring husband and now a trusting brother."

Mr. C.R. Sreenivasa lyengar's translation of Valmiki Ramayana says: " Though Rama had married Sita to be the queen, he married many other wives for sexual pleasure in accordance with the royal customs. (Ayodha Kandam 8th Chapter, page 28). (The term "Rama's wives" as been used in many places in Ramayan).

Jai Hanuman! RAM Jethmalani whose name is also Ram (OMG) says Lord Ram was the worst husband. Perhaps wearer knows where the shoe pinches! I am also Purushottam that is Ram but my wife forms no such opinion. Thanks dear wife for showing that much of curtsey/mercy! Ram Jethmalani is right. He is an advocate having long standing experience at hand. Therefore he has a habit of seeing things or different facts from judgmental attitude that too from the angle of his client only Bajaj vespa type (in which engine is on one side). Advocates, judges, doctors, businessmen and other professional cannot see any fact from plane and simple point of view. Perhaps excepting few no one is exception. We see in things what we want to see in them. Sorry! We do not have a broad perception. Congress Chief from Gujarat Arun Modhwadia says Modi is monkey. I also share with him but from different point of view as I am also an advocate. Monkey means Hanumanji. Even to day we see to a monkey with very high respect believing Hanuman as his ancestor. Therefore I say Modi is Monkey@ Hanuman. Certainly Congress is Ravana who has abducted Sita that is the democracy. Janata (public) is subject of the democracy. Now Hanuman will come to rescue Sita that is he will rescue democracy from the clutches of Ravana. Let people be ready to fight with Ravana and assist Hanuman in the same way as squirrels helped Ram to build bridge. Wish Hanumanji all success.

Guru Gobind Singh:: "ek murat aneik darshan, keen roop aneik, khel khel akhel khelan, ant ko fhir ek" There r different faces/transforms of GOD in this world and we all r the in the game which is beeing played by the God, and finally their is only one God (Akaal)

We have respect for Ram Jethmalani but he need not expose his ignorance of Ramayana with his silly comments just to get publicity.Oflate gadkari, Jethmalani and all BJP leaders are making unwarranted comments instead of fighting against Corrupt Congress and how to give clean administration to common man

I am proud to be a Hindu. My religion is my personal view and outlook and no one can corner me with edicts, fatwas or whatever. I am liberated as i have my own dialogue with God in privacy, not through organised religion which is either business or a terrorist supporting network. I am proud that our religion can be discussed and no Blasphemy laws enacted against Ram Jethmalani. i am proud that while I may feel upset at someone uttering against Ram the Lord, I know that my God(s) are above these earthly blasphemers and I can live in peace. My gods ask us to love all humanity thru vasudev Kutumbakam. I am however aghast at the torching by some Hindus of dalit villages in Tamil nadu ....this is horrible. The law should arrest, convict these people, who are spoiling our religion thru caste system and who are barbarians- Talibani mindset that has started gripping Hindus- created mad lumpen groups like Ram Sene who think they can behave like the Police Of Vice in Arabia

Every religious stories have its flaws to talk about them just to hit the headlines is pathetic.I am amased to know he has problems only with "ramayana".I dare him 2 talk about the flaws in islam or any other relegion.He has hurt my sentiments and millions of others i presume.

I am 100% with Mr. Ram Jethmalan, I admire this guy for being bold and practical, marriage is relationship of trust. How can this Adarsh Purush mistrust a wife who has been with him during thick and thins of life.

i just want to say jethmalani that he does'nt have that much of intellegence to judge the character of lord "RAMA". At the first He was the king and for the king each and everyone is equal and jethmalani jee you need some education would like to inform you that person was not a fisherman it was a "Dhobhi" washerman who said this if you don't know about Ramayana u have no right to say anything who r u to judge our god? Judge yourself first that is enough for u.one thing i want to advice that we are creation of god and we do not have that much of thougths to judge our god.one thing i would like to tell you one famus statement that suits u well "vinaash kaale vipreet buddhi"

All respect to Ram Jethmalani. Religion should not hold a special place. It is not special and greater. Everything should be questioned including fictitious non-existent characters like Ram, Laxman and all others. These are just stroies. Listen up Hindus, do not be influenced by what your religious masters tell you. Rise up, be educated and by that i mean read your religious books thoroughly and find out the truth. Stop believing in fantasy theories. God does not exist. Religion produces terror and violence and nothing else. There is no proof of the presence of God. Stop fighting over your stupid fairy tales.

mr jethmalani i pay the money to fight agaist ram pls throw this guy from bjp party

Let Ramjethmalaniji check with saint Thyagarajar and other Sangeetha Vidwans the power of Rama Nama. He has to experience it by reciting the name with devotion and not with bad comments.Understand Rama desended on earth to to teach us what is Dharmic life and we have to lead Dharmic life. He is Absolute and cannot be commenented upon. Recite His name , experience the divinity and get Salvation. Spritual world is beyond material.

The Hindus are very liberal but that doesn%u2019t mean that anybody can comments anything just because that statement belongs or against the Hindu community. If such statement made other than Hindu community it become major violence through country.

The person who defends terrorists free of cost, the person who defends corrupts and uses his status as MP and ex- minister to speak loudly in public, the person who was once respected as legal luminary, has forgotten that he gains respect for his good deeds and such anti religion utterances will harm him. He has been able to speak such things about the ideologies of a tolerant Hindu religion. Can he dare to express his reservations about other religions like Jews and Muslims in public... he will have to confine himself to some remote place till his lat breath as Salman Rushdie and others are doing. A film by a crazy person had made whole world rise against his nation but in India, the great politicians and the national leaders ignore the feelings of the majority community only to garner votes ... shame on the people who speak on the topics which are not their forte...

Just by becoming Top Lawyer or scientist or any big public figure, doesn't mean that he is intelligent enough to comment on Absolute or GOD or Sri Ramachandra, who came to earth and behaved like human beings, but also did so many super natural things like making the huge stone to float in the water and constructing the bridge to lanka. Lord Ram cannot be understood by such lawyers or any scientist by their tiniest of tiniest intelligence they have.Lord is inconceivable, he is above our tiny intelligence. Lord Actions when he was in this world were transcedental it cannot be understood by such so called intelligent peoples of the world. You can only understand God by Devotion and love towards him.

Shri Ram Jethmalani does not know anything about Ramayan. He must see Balmiiki Ramayan. Shri Ram never exiled Sita ji. Secondly Ram did not ask Laxman to search Sita alone. The present context relate to jwelery dropped by Sita on Rishmuk Parvat during her abduction Then only laxman denied to identify Armlet as he never gave attention to Sita's arms etc. He recognised toe ring of Sita as he touch the feet of Sita daily. This reference describe greatness of indian culture which can never be understand by Jeth malani ji. He should not comment on the subject of which he does not know ABCD of.

I think this is the time of world end, because see the daring of a old budda Ram jeth malani said about Lord Sriram, and I want to ask his mother and father for why she kept this fellows name Ram. Lord Sriram is a god and what is the prefixed that one only happened, Lord Laxmana is a avathara of Shesha, and if anybody speak about lord rama and about things of ramayana its the end of their own life and if we not opposed it will effect to us also, because Lord Hanuman never listen a single word against Lord Rama, I request to Ramjeth malani, to ask sorry for this other wise it will be heavy for his life. I request sri Advaniji and sri modhiji to remove him from BJP for ever. and he should not entertaine in any manner. I am telling that to Ram jeth malani to ask sorry for say bad words about Lord Sriram. other wise it will be heavy for him. Om Sriram rama ramethi rame rame manorame sahasra nama tattulyam sri rama nama varanane. Shreekantha Bhadri Davangere

king rama was a clear victim of then brahmanical cult. or why would he knock up sita and send her to forest to delvier his twins luv-kush at valmiki's hut. Not so maryadam purshottam dear rama, what man would send his wife to fire to prove her chastity. Only a lame duck king can do that. Some useless aryans jumbled up mythology and feeding us in 21st century.

This person is creating controversial statements just to come in the limelight

Poor fellow I pity this guy. His name itself is Ram!He has no choice but to hate his own name.

I think Mr Ram Jethmalani needs some education on the time & context of an incidence to understand & appreciate it. Lord Ram lived during the era of Satya Yuga, a period during which the ruler would not allow its Praja (People) to raise slightest doubt about their ruler. Hence Lord Rama sent Sita Mata to exile, to restore confidence of his people. But Mr Jethmalani, you are in Kali Yuga. In this period, the ruler is least bothered about its Praja. Even when the CAG indicts any ministry, the Minister refuse to resign. Even when people demand for a particular legislation our so called elected representatives refuse to enact that legislation. So Mr Jethmalani, do not comment on the action of Satya Yuga when you live in Kali Yuga.

the author has the following assumptions: 1. Each and every person in BJP has the same beliefs. This is completely wrong...in BJP people of similar (not exact) beliefs are together...with an aim for development of India (Bharat). 2. Coming to epics, there are lot of Hindus who have differing views of Rama, Lakshmana and Sita....if one of the views is expoused...it is not a earthquake.

Dear Editor, What is wrong with you? Every person has a right to have opinion about anyone including God. How come personal opinions of a person embarrass the party he belongs to? I still cannot belive that IE was started by Ramanath Goenka. He took on most powerful if they were wrong or did corruption. Instead of going after powerful and corrupt, you are wasting your energy in chasing weak. Shame on you. Thats why I stopped reading paper version of IE. I had subscribed to IE paper version. I found that editors and others are toeing the line of Govt and party in power even when corruption is involved. Editors are being awarded Padma Awards. Thanks, Vithal

Sitha Maaji said in Sundarakanda in Ramayana to Ravana, Ravana, you think you seperated me from Ravan. But Like sun light cannot be seperated from Sun, Corruption cannot be seperated from Politicians I cannot be seperated from Rama. Unlike present politicians who never bother about people's opinion, They shown a Dharam and stayed away from each other. Don't comment without knowing about great personalities.
