Massive Row Over Tamil Poet's "Lord Ram Lost His Mind" Remarks
A speech by noted Tamil lyricist and poet Vairamuthu on Lord Ram at a literary programme has triggered a fresh political controversy, with the BJP accusing him of hurting religious sentiments.
Speaking at an event where he received an award named after the ancient poet Kambar, who wrote the Tamil version of the epic 'Ramayana', Mr Vairamuthu said that Lord Ram "lost his mind" after separating from his wife, Goddess Sita.
