Renowned Bollywood lyricist Javed Akhtar expressed his admiration for the phrase “Jai Siya Ram” and its representation of love and unity. Akhtar, known for his outspoken views on religion and politics, praised Lord Ram and Sita as the ideal husband and wife during a Deepotsav event organized by Raj Thackeray, the chief of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) in Mumbai.
Akhtar emphasized that when discussing the ideal husband and wife, it is hard to ignore the significance of Ram and Sita. He stated, “There are many deities, but when we talk about the ideal husband and ideal wife, Ram and Sita come to mind… ‘Jai Siya Ram’ is the finest example of love and unity.”
During his speech, Akhtar also highlighted the cultural importance of Hinduism and expressed concerns about the diminishing freedom of expression. He stated, “There are some people who have always been intolerant. Hindus are not like that. Their specialty is that they are generous and large-hearted. This is Hindu culture, this is civilization. It has taught us democratic attitudes. That’s why there is democracy in this country. Thinking that we are right and everyone else is wrong is not the work of Hindus. Whoever taught you this is wrong.”
Moreover, Akhtar emphasized that Lord Ram and Sita are not only revered Hindu gods and goddesses but also an integral part of India’s cultural heritage.
The event garnered attention on social media, with a video of Akhtar’s speech being shared by news agency ANI on Twitter. The public eagerly awaits responses and reactions to Akhtar’s remarks.
