Yesterday in a clubhouse room about the state of journalism, I mentioned this increasing trend of a section of Indian media/ commentators and journalists linking #JaiShriRam to violent events. It is nothing but a sinister game to create a parallel between JaiShriRam & Ola-o-Uber!

We all men and women who grew up during 80s and 90s associate #JaiShriRam with Hindu resurgence in political spectrum. Yes it became a rallying point for everyone who wanted to undo the historical wrongs inflicted on us for centuries.
Name of Prabhu ShriRam became a rallying point for Hindu unity & resurgence & #JaiShriRam became synonymous with Hindu ethos.
When state police of @yadavakhilesh ‘s dad sprayed bullets on the chest of unarmed RamBhakts, their only weapon before embracing death was #JaiShriRam

When RamBhakts, within 2 hours, brought down the centuries old symbol of hindu hate, Hinduphobia, denial of the birth place of Prabhu ShriRam to Hindus, it was #JaiShriRam that powered them- all without any violence heaped on anyone!
So much so that #JaiShriRam became a preferred way of greeting a fellow Hindu and #JaiShriRam could instil sense of confidence of justice, equality and unity amongst Hindus-unity that became a rallying point for Hindus to began looking at power in a serious way to undo d wrongs!
It was #JaiShriRam that made the ascension of men with belief in the Hindu values and Hindu ethos to the seat of Delhi and across capitals in states.
Unlike Ola-o-Uber, #JaiShriRam became a binding force with a calming influence on everyone using it!

No wonder today one section of media, journalists and commentators are playing this sinister game of making #JaiShriRam stick to violent acts - it is nothing but a plan to discredit the slogan that became part of both - peaceful resurgence of political and religious Hindu!
Onus lies on us Hindus to stop every attempt to label #JaiShriRam with any violent act! Use every means at your disposal to bring the guilty to book and ensure that no one ever dare to discredit what is so dear to us & which is a symbol of peace, equality and justice. #JaiShriRam
