Only ‘humane Rama’ can face conspiracy of Rama Mandir construction: Prasanna
‘Hey Ram’- Ramayana, a discourse
Udupi, July 22: “Those who have only single digit strength have got 300 number strength in the name of Rama. Once again, they will make a conspiracy of Rama Mandir construction in a few months. The only way to face this conspiracy effectively is the ‘humane Rama’. Otherwise, people can say ‘Hey Ram’ and become martyrs. Now, we have to prepare to become martyrs”, said scholar, theatre activist and Charaka-fame Prasanna.
He was speaking at a discourse on ‘Hey Ram- Ramayana- organized by the Asakta Balaga at MGM College here on Sunday.
Prasanna said that “today Ramayana is being misused. We have just identified the dissent between Rama and Ravana. But we have failed to identify that the culture tried to build by Rama was different from the culture built by his father Dasharatha. Because of this reason, the Ramayana is being misused. In Ramayana, we have been observing the drama of Brahminization. In that Ramayana, we have been fight to prove Rama as the God. This is a peculiar and unreasonable argument. If we have to consider that Rama was born god and died as god, then Rama did not have any growth. Rama Rajya is equal to Grama Rajya. But the people have given arrow to single Rama where Grama Rajya is not there to fight with Babar and made Anjaneya as a demon and he would not accept such a Ramayana”, he said.
“Anjaneya was a gentleman. But today, he was depicted as Bajrang Bali and pasted him behind autos and vehicles. We have seen Vivekananda as a man who protected Hindu religion. But we are deliberately not seeing his critical analysis of various unreasonable practices in the Hindu religion or for social justice. Vivekananda who had consumed beef in America, had expressed it openly. But it was not because of insulting or giving pain to Hindus. He had done to bring the Hindus from heinous symbols and practices and introduce contemporary reality. He had advocated that cows should be protected in the farms of the farmers”, he said.
Writer Dr Mahabaleshwar Rao presided over the programme in which scholar Prof Phaniraj and others were present.
Rahul Gandhi who tells truth is buffoon!
Rahul Gandhi who tells truth is considered as a buffoon. Unfortunately, Narendra Modi who lies is a strong person. Because, people were not believing Rahul Gandhi’s leaders like Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar. In the same way, people would not believe Yeddyurappa. But they would believe Rama. This was the reality, he said.
Around 80 per cent of today's culture was at the stage of dying and 20 per cent was in a position of living. The culture of the land was in a fix and every day it was being proved and everyone knew who involved in violence knew it. People should find ways to come out of this vicious circle. It was not possible to face the apprehension emerged out of indecency only politically. Both the wicked and those who keep silent were equally responsible for this indecency, he said.
Show culture to Shudras
People from middle class who knew English have been advocating the crime sitting behind the machines by trolling in social media. It was the tragedy of the country that the crime being advocated by the political party was being implemented by the poor and shudras. The poor were being hounded by the poor. Forget the defeat, but the Shudra youth should be shown the real culture by telling them the truth, he opined.

Pizza Hut China debuts unusual bullfrog pizza, sparking mixed reactions online
Beijing : Pizza Hut China has taken a bold step into culinary experimentation by introducing a limited-edition pizza topped with deep-fried bullfrog, a move that has garnered both curiosity and criticism online. The unconventional dish was first highlighted by global food trend expert David Henke, who shared a photo of the new menu item on X (formerly Twitter), noting the diverse protein preferences in different cultures.
The pizza, known as "Goblin Pizza," features a thick crust, red sauce, a layer of parsley, and a whole deep-fried bullfrog as the centerpiece. The frog's "eyes" are created with halved hard-boiled eggs, each topped with a black olive, making for a visually striking presentation. According to Korean news outlet Maeil Business Newspaper, the unusual offering is a collaboration with Dungeons and Dragons, inspired by a character from the game.
Details about the availability of this new creation are limited, with no specific information provided on Pizza Hut’s official website. However, the quirky menu item has already become a talking point on social media, drawing a mix of reactions ranging from shock to curiosity.
On Reddit, a photo of the pizza was shared, fueling further debate. Some users labeled the dish as “pure blasphemy,” while one user went so far as to say, “This pizza is a felony.” Another asked, “Why ruin a pizza like that?”
Not all feedback was negative; one commenter admitted that while the frog might be off-putting, they'd be more accepting if the pizza underneath was satisfactory. Another joked, "You can ribbet this right into the garbage."
Amidst the critique, there were voices of intrigue. One foodie defended the dish, saying, “Fried frog legs are so good! Maybe next time, shred the frog leg meat and add it to the pizza—that would be pretty good.”
