| Hindu god Ram sued over 'cruel' treatment of Sita |
| 2016-02-02 |
| [Dhaka Tribune] An Indian lawyer has filed a case against Hindu god Lord Ram over the alleged mistreatment of his wife Sita. Back in the Vedic era. Let it rest, fergawdsake. Lord Ram's brother, Laxman, has also been accused of helping Lord Ram in "renouncing" Sita. Laxman's always had a shifty look about him when he's appeared to me in dreams. Lawyer Thakur Chandan Kumar Singh claimed that Lord Ram banished his wife Sita to live in exile in a forest, citing the move as "hypocritical" and "cruel". He's a god, for gosh sakes! Singh said that there was no valid reason for Sita's banishment and that she was later found innocent of the charges that forced her into exile. She's a goddess. What's it matter if she has to live in the forest? She's also an avatar of Lakshmi, Goddess of Luck. Every time she opened her bag groceries were trying to fall in. According to a number of Indian news outlets, Singh said: "The devi (goddess) was exiled for no fault of hers. How can a man become so cruel to his wife that he sends her off to live in a forest?" How can a man be so dumb that he tries to sue a god? The case, which a Bihar court agreed to hear, sparked nationwide discussion on Monday, the morning of the hearing. Ram's name was trending on Twitter as thousands of Indians took to social media to defend the god, criticising the lawyer for "offending" Hindus. Lord Rama should strike him and reduce him to a cinder. Or turn him into a toad and stomp him. Singh has said that his intention was not to hurt anyone's religious beliefs, however, he believed the crime committed by Lord Ram was a "non-cognisable offence", which meant that the police would be unable to make an arrest without a warrant issued by a court order. Go ahead, dumbass. Get the warrant. In his complaint, Singh said: "Lord Rama did not think for a single moment how a woman could live alone amid wild animals, including reptiles and mammals, in the forest." He probably thought a goddess could get by pretty well, especially the Goddess of Luck.. According to the Hindu text Rayamana [sic. They mean the Ramayana], Lord Ram was banished to the forest for 14 years, during which his wife Sita and brother Laxman accompanied him. Upon their return to the Kingdom of Ayodhya, rumours began to spread about Sita's purity following the news of her pregnancy. Lord Ram reluctantly gives into public opinion to banish his wife to the forest. |
