The philosophy of Hinduism is fairly simple. Live and let live. Javed Akhtar is a prominent figure in the entertainment landscape. Attended a Deepotsav program organized by Raj Thackeray. Well, Thackeray name is fairly enough in Maharashtra to do a lot of things.
Akhtar said, “Democracy exists in India because of Hindus.” This is the land of social well-being. Where violence is neither justified nor tolerated. India as a nation, truly believes in the philosophy of “Mahatma Gandhi”. But, we also celebrate ‘Durga Puja’. A Deity of fearlessness and violence. The basic Crux of India is coexistence. We can believe in whatever we want to believe. And fight tooth and nail for our belief system. Yet, our social system has room for everyone.
Akhtar at the end of his speech, raised the slogan “Jai Siya Ram”. Akhtar is a man of words. He knows how to arouse a specific emotion from the public. Well, it is his job to do so. The “Jai Siya Ram’ has a profound meaning in itself. Akhtar referenced ‘Ram Charit Manas’ in his speech. He particularly mentioned how Maa Sita is a perfect example of how a wife should be, vice-versa.

Ram and Sita and not God and Goddess, are the cultural heritage of India. Akhtar said, “In Lucknow, as a child, I used to see people from well-to-do families say good morning. But, a common man used to greet everyone by saying ‘Jai Siya Ram'”. Therefore, you chant Jai Siya Ram with me for three times.
As a country, we unite with love and compassion. Ram and Sita Maa are a symbol of love and Unity. Sometimes, this becomes a tool and merely a political mileage for the politician and celebrities to get some lime light. People unite in the name of religion, then religion becomes a tool for anyone to seek attention.
Ram was noble. He was born to be a king. He was forced into exile for 14 years. Someone, managed ayodhya while ram wasn’t there to take care for his people. What if, there was someone more capable than Maryada Purushottam, for the throne. Having a thought like that is enough to put people behind bars. Well, I while leave you with a dialogue from Super 30. “Aaj raja ka beta raja nahi banega… raja wohi banega joh haqdaar hoga.”
