Talk:Rama
From Academic Kids
I've changed this by adding material that seems less 'Fundamentalist' in its attitude to the historicity of Rama and the reliability of the Ramayana as history.
The Politics of Religion
It is interesting that you can read about Allah and Jesus in the Wikipedia without any political commentary when much of the worlds politics centers around these religions and yet have a good chunk of an article on Rama devoted to giving a personal political opinion and commentary.
This is a colonial and imperial bias that has little to do with the culture of Rama who is revered by Muslims in the South East, the Sufi poet Kabir, Buddhist, Jains and Sikhs as an icon for Eastern civilizations and thought in much the same way the Homer epics have influenced the West.
- You're right. In the near future (as I am busy with college work) this page should be redone in accordance with the principles that guided the writing of pages on Christ and Allah and other such figures.--LordSuryaofShropshire 18:34, Oct 30, 2004 (UTC)
Large slab of text which is a copyvio
It appears that the user User:203.199.120.7 copied a massive chunk of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar's essay "The Riddle Of Rama And Sita" [1] (http://www.raceandhistory.com/worldhotspots/riddlerama.htm). It didn't take long for me to find this. This user has been blocked for 24 hours, and I'll be listing them Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress. Please don't revert or rollback my changes. - Ta bu shi da yu 11:19, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
