The Allahabad High Court said that the Parliament should introduce a law to give respect/ honour to Shri Rama, Shri Krishna, Gita, Ramayana, Maharishi Valmiki, and Maharishi Ved Vyas as they are the culture and tradition of India.


The judge stressed that religious faith is in the heart of every citizen of India and there is a need to educate children by making gods, sages, and epics a compulsory subject in schools.

The Bench of Justice Shekhar Yadav was addressing a bail plea of Surya Prakash who is accused of making obscene remarks against Lord Rama and Lord Krishna on Facebook. The court granted his bail but pointed out the need for better education. Judge Yadav stated that today's education system is mostly based on what western historians wrote and it did damage to Indian culture, reported Live Law.

He observed that Lord Ram held a great place in the life of Mahatma Gandhi. Rama-Rama is the expression of mutual harmony, and in the end, the tradition of making the last journey of life meaningful with the word Ram Naam could be seen only in India.

"Makers of the Constitution of India understood Rama and Krishna. The original copy of the Constitution of India depicted Lord Shri Rama and Lord Shri Krishna. It has been shown that after winning over Ravana in the form of Satya, his wife Sita and brother Lakshman are returning to Ayodhya."

"Those who wrote the Indian Constitution had understood that without Rama and Krishna, who is the soul of India, the Indian Constitution cannot be imagined. When a person makes an obscene post/comment about Lord Shri Ram and Lord Shri Krishna, then it is definitely against the Indian faith and the Constitution of India and the same must be punished," said Judge Yadav.

He further said that Lord Shri Krishna and Lord Shri Ram weren't limited to Hindus only but they were very popular among Muslims as well. The court also recalled the Supreme Court's remark on Ramjanmabhoomi and said that the Top Court gave the decision in favour of those who believe in 'Rama', reported Live Law.

The Bench called Lord Shri Rama and Lord Shri Krishna as the great men of India, whom the majority of the country have been worshipping for thousands of years. The court added that if someone makes obscene remarks about them, then it hurts the faith of their believers.

"It is the duty of every citizen living in the country to respect the great men and the gods, goddesses and culture of the country in which they live. If that can't also be done, then one should at least not make any obscene remarks about them, which hurt people's faith."
