I’ll jump right into it. Check out the following article on Wikipedia I have recently come across
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shambuka
Then, check out the “discussions” tab and the “history” in each of those. For the latter, I noticed two anti-Hindu websites were being linked to, as proponents of “Dalit rights” groups. Also, the wording of the second article made it seem like Shri Ram, a kshatriya (warrior), had it in for Shambuka and killed him because he was from a lower “caste” yet performed a religious ritual reserved for a Brahmin. Now as a Hindu I am totally against casteism in all its evil forms, however for the Dalit websites in question to 1. pin this on Ram as a caste thing, when in the time of the Ramayana there was no “caste” as we see it today (rather there was “jati”) and 2. pin this as a blackspot on Hinduism when there was no such religion is ridiculous.
