The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

On April 23rd, Gursang Preet Kaur, a university professor at Lovely Professional University in Punjab, India, was fired over an alleged offensive comment regarding the Hindu god Rama. According to the outraged, Kaur put the deity in a bad light by referring to Rama as a “cunning person.” A video recorded during a presentation showed Kaur making the comment, “Actually, Rama is not a good person by heart.” According to legend, Rama is an incarnation of the god Vishnu. In the mythology, one day his wife, Sita, was kidnapped by the demon king Ravana. After Rama saved her from Ravana, Sita had to prove her “purity” by subjecting herself to a trial by fire. Rama is seen as a revered deity associated with righteousness and chivalry by most Hindus. Kaur’s lecture challenged the heroic lens through which Rama is usually seen and questioned if he is as righteous as people claim. She flipped the traditional narrative on it’s head when stating, “How can I decide who is good and evil, and the whole world is worshipping Ram and saying that Ravana is a bad person?” She accused Rama of planning to trap Sita and “put all the blame on Ravana.” The university quickly distanced itself from Kaur’s comment. Their statement said, “We wish to clarify that the views shared by her (Kaur) are absolutely personal, and the university does not endorse any of them,” adding, “We have always been a secular university, where people from all religions and faith are treated equally with love and respect.”
