Column: Dharma always comes with dharma-sankat

The Hindu  

In a crime, the victim accuses the villain. LW: Ravana respected Sita and was simply avenging the mutilation of his sister by Lakshmana on Ram’s orders. Christians and Muslims believe that when we die, we will be judged by god on Judgement Day on how we have conducted ourselves in our one and only life vis-à-vis god’s laws. By contrast, justice in Christian and Islamic context assumes a single life, single law, single heaven, single hell, and eternal stay in the final destination. Of course, like justice, the dharma discourse is open to all sorts of cleverly argued rational manipulation, by the devil, say some, by the ego, say others.
