Controversial statements by infamous YouTuber Dhruv Rathee ('YouTuber' means a person who publishes videos on YouTube.) |
New Delhi - Dhruv Rathee has made a statement regarding Hinduism that has deeply hurt the faith and sentiments of Hindus.
While commenting on Hinduism and its deities, Dhruv Rathee asserted that Shrirama and Shrikrushna consumed meat and drank alcohol. This video clip is going viral across social media, and while people have already begun sharing their reactions, many are severely criticising this video by Dhruv Rathee. Citing Swami Vivekananda's book, The East and the West, he raised the question of whether Ram had indeed consumed deer meat.
Citing specific chapters from various texts, he argued that much like in the Mahabharat, instances can be found in the Ramayan where Shrirama and Shrikrushna are depicted consuming meat and drinking alcohol. Furthermore, continuing this line of argument, he noted that Sita is depicted offering meat to the River Ganga, a detail mentioned by Swami Vivekananda. Additionally, citing Chapter 58 of Udyoga Parva within the Mahabharat, he claimed that Krushna and Arjun are depicted drinking alcohol. (On the backdrop of Ram Navami, how did Dhruv Rathee get the ill intent to present such information? Please note how false narratives are being created to mislead Hindus during their festivals! - Editor)
Says, "Deer became extinct due to Pandavas hunting them during exile !"
Dhruv Rathee posted a video on his channel in which he allegedly made remarks regarding Shriram and Shrikrushna, suggesting that the Pandavas, as well as Ram, must have consumed meat while living in the forests. He questioned whether they could realistically have been surviving on dishes like Paneer Butter Masala during their twelve years of exile.
Could they really have spent 12 years subsisting solely on fruit? Citing Chapter 256 of the Vana Parva (Forest Book) of the Mahabharat, it is stated that Yudhishthira had a dream in which several deer approached him and lamented that his brothers had slaughtered so many of their kind that only a few of them remained. Dhruv Rathee pointed out that the Pandavas had, in fact, been consuming deer meat for a period of one year and eight months. (Originally, the Mahabharat was written in Sanskrit. It takes a long time to learn and understand Sanskrit. So, how did Dhruv Rathee, sitting in Germany, understand what is written in the Mahabharat ? - Editor)
It is also stated in the Mahabharat that Yudhishthira expressed sorrow over this. Additionally, it is mentioned that the Pandavas spent about one and a half years eating deer meat, he claimed.
Editorial Perspective Dhruv Rathee, sitting abroad, is creating and spreading videos containing such anti-Hindu and anti-India statements. In this matter, the Government of India should take strict action, arrest him from abroad, and bring him to India! If it were a country like Israel, it would have captured and brought such individuals! |
