Ramayan says this and you have asked me to follow Ramayan. The sacredness of those books can be used in a progressive way than they be used for perpetuating regressive habits.
Do you know the polio campaign of India was done Amitabh Bachanan. And he being the brand ambassador of such a programme had a huge impact in the rural communities and it helped the health workers to get their message much easier. His popularity had such a reach and the success of polio eradication campaign does owe a lot to Mr Bachan along with the health workers.Same is the case with epics. They have a profound impact and we need to use them for the progress of the country. Because if we truly believe they are learnings from God, then we need to understand that God treats everyone equal. And God's message can never give upper hand to one person, one culture, one community or one kingdom.
