Good article covering most in short. Problem in INDIA, basically the information broadcast to public and masses protesting it without clear understanding about its various pros and cons. We have a habit of opposing each other without knowing the details in actuals.
Most of the time people taking part in protests, even do not know about why they are there. Its seems fun out of box entertainment and a break from their daily routine.
Its human nature to resists the change and normally acceptance comes gradually.
Since decades we always say retail is unorganized sector, however we did little to organize it to help it to grow and convert it into INDIAN Walmart. If we have done it, we may have our INDIAN WalMarts opening globally and have seen a different growth path of INDIA globally.

It seems this is the first time you both are visiting Hampi. If not you would have enjoyed the Twin Boulders beuaty. They are also called as Stone Arch and locally and internationally known as Sisters stones (boulders). The right hand side bouldr has damaged very recently.

Mr. Indra ,
Its not necessary that we should deal every subject with liberalism , you have said that only “fundamentalist” can have problem with such an essay , but this is not true , i am afraid you will have to put 90 % of Hindus into fundamentalist category then ,
although there are many Ramayan , but Ramayana of Valmiki is considered most authentic and it is most ancient , even by the standards of the leftist historians , so as par historical accuracy none of the Ramayana written after Valmiki are worth considering many like Krittivasa Ramayan have been written as late as 1500 A.D. , so they are mostly alternations of original Ramayan stories + authors imagination ,
I will suggest a reading of “Rama his historicity , Temple and Setu ” by B.B.Lal (eminent archeologist and director of ASI ) ,
Lal clearly makes the point that Ramayan is a historical story and proofs are as much strong as in case of Buddha or Mahavira, and Valimiki may have composed his Kavya on the basis of an Ramayan which passed from generations to generation through Orally ,
offcourse from the viewpoint of AIT supporting leftist historians there is no ground for such a history , but AIt itself has been prooved to be wrong and it is only prevailing bias in support of the maxmuller history among academia that keeps AIT alive , otherwise there are proofs that our history is much older and even Mahabharata is historical event ,
Now the Buddhist and Jain Ramayan , it is clearly understandable that they are alterations of the Original Ramayan with a Bias to endorse the philosophy of sect (jaina , Buddha) , as you see in Jaina Ramayan , it is Laxamana who kills Ravana , and he is punished for this “Hinsa) (violence ) , while Rama becomes a jaina Muni , this is clearly to glorify Jaina philosophy and Ahimsa ,
similarly some Buddhist Ramayana present Ravana as a Buddhavatar , certainly because the Buddhism was the Arch rival of Brahmanism in those times, they could not neglect the Ramayana so they modified it and tried to popularize there version ,
None of These 300 Ramayana are of any historical value ,
As the new finding of Rama’s Bridge suggest that even if the Setu was not man made it was very much possible to go to Lanka through that , only recently sea level has grown otherwise till 1400 a.D. people have crossed this bridge (see LAL) , also the Historical sites related to Ramayana scattered all over india , are proved to be very ancient like bhardwaj ashram ,chitrakut , ayodhya (LAL) , and this only proves the details given by Valmiki ,
There may be many versions of any Historical story , but teaching a essay like this only adds to the prevailing bias against Hinduism always visible among the Academia ,

Manyawar Indra Ji,
aapne kaafi hadh tak sahi likha hai. I’m agree widh you.
Chandragupta Maurya and Chanakaya mere favorite heroes hain, in all historical characters.
In fact, ye serial dejhne ke baad hi main in dono characters ke baare mein kaafi kuchh jaan payi hu, warna kahin in dono ke baare mein padhne ko nahi molta. isliye ek tarah se to serial ko thnks bhi kehna chahungi, lekin main apne favorite heroes ke jeevan ki sachi tasveer dekhna chahti hu, na ii fantasy.
mujhe aisa lagne laga hai ki is serial mein kaafi kuchh wastavikta se pare dikhaya jaa raha hai. jo ki mere jaise chandru aur chanakya fans ke saath ek tarah ka majaak hai, hamare emotions ke saath khilwaad hai.
Baar bar chandru ko maut ke muh mein dikhana aur phir kisi chamatkaarik roop se usko un mushkil situations se bahar nikalate huye dikhana, ye sab jabardasti ki herogiri hai. kuchh hajam nahi hoti.
Anyway, main chandru ki shayad sabse badi fan hu. kabhi kisi shahrukh, salmaan ya amitabh ki fan nahi rahi. zindagi mein sirf ek hi hero achha laga, “CHANDRAGUPTA MAURYA.” In fact I’m mad about Chandru.
Iss serial ke through hi uske baare mein jaan ne samjhne ka mauka mila hai.
Kaash ….! koi ho jo mujhe uske jeevan ke baare mein sachi ghatnaao ki jaankari de sake, ya koi sachai pe aadharit serial banaya jaye.
Sarita Sarraf.

Rauniyar is the son of God Bishnu and Maa Laxmi. Bishnu (Trader/Palanhar) with killing rakshas in Rudra Rupa called Rauniyar means Raun ka Yar or Lover of War. We are descended of God Bishnu. GUPTA empire was Rauniyar, Maurya empire was Rauniyar, Hemu was Rauniyar. There are so many series of Rauniyar Heroes.
