Let me clear one thing first...nowadays more and more people are opposing Devdutt, let me give single reason to do so.

Which fact is twisted by him please let me know first.

He is never representing Hinduism in negative manner, reality is that he is over liberar and that is something unlikely to digest by many people.😉 But nothing is wrong until he crosses limits.

Hinduism is not touted from any single source, it is about interpretation i firmly believe. So that's why we can not fix this in particular box and label it like western religions.

Sometimes he sounds like left ideological but he is not, reversely he is not right winger. His identity is simple to go alone on a way with balance to find individual The TRUTH. Yes, he says truth are different for various people and it is fact.

Historical truth, religious truth , traditional truth , belief truth , eternal truth and many more.

Nothing is original, there are hundreds of Ramayan and if he adds one more from his sight then we can not say no.It is injustice if we give all credits to sage Valmiki and calling Tulsidas wrong for his own ideas.Tulsi's love for Ram is needless to define.

I think Aarya Granth must be given a new look with new generations with keeping it's root intact and that is how it will be more prevailing. We are quite flexible not rigid like others.

I am ready to discuss on him here as i have been following him since DKDM days.

facts i feel he twisted that Bhagvaan Ram used to eat Meat. Sumitra Mata was daughter of sumanta. Sita mata didn't tell Ram ji about pregnancy . i have read valmiki ramayan where hanuman ji says no one in Raghvansha eats meat and consume alcohol. sumitra mata father was Bramahin. Rama ji and sita mata were separated when they were about to become parents. 2nd we have multiple truths and everybody is ok but i feel nowdays devdutt is taken as last authority on mythology. i do appreciate him for bringing mythology to forefront.
