Jai Shri Ram ‘was’ a slogan of victory of Ram over Ravan, victory of good over evil. Right now, to the world watching and hearing that slogan, it is a terrorist call to harass, threaten or rape women.
Are the good Hindus authorizing the Hindutva terrorists (not Hindu by any measure) to use that slogan? If not, it is time to condemn them, lest Hinduism, that seeks dignity of life gets a bad name.
All of us have to protect the sanctity of every religion, at the end, all of us would be safe.
I do hope the terrorists realize the mistake they are making, and I pray good Hindus speak up.
