Amit Shah gives push to 'Ram, Ramayan, Ramrajya' | Master Stroke

 At a time when the top court of the country is seized of the title suit dispute over Ayodhya, the Modi government has given a push to 'Ram', 'Ramayan' and 'Ram Rajya'.

Speaking at the fifth edition of the Ramayana Festival, BJP President and Union Home Minister Amit Shah called Ramayana, the Hindu epic, as the solution of all global problems. "Ramayana is the solution to your personal, social, national and global problems," said Shah.

The reference to Ram was recurring and the veiled reference to 'Ram Rajya' was also clear enough to understand. When Shah was talking about "susashan" (good governance), something that the Modi government boasts of providing India with, he was making a veiled reference to the utopian "Ram Rajya".

The three-day event that he inaugurated will see foreign delegations performing and presenting their interpretations of Ramayana. The college of dramatic arts under Bunditpattanailpa Institute of Thailand, a dance guild from Sri Lanka, Cambodian Artist Troupe, Notre Dame Kali Maa Mandir Association from Mauritius are some of the many international delegations taking part in this Ramayana extravaganza.
