Ram Lalla Nisan Yatra

India is the only pre-bronze age culture that is alive and breathing. Every other ancient culture — our fellow travellers in the past — is either forgotten or its husk lives on in museums. This happened largely because they were overpowered and overwritten by themselves and sometimes, enemies.

The most powerful enemy though is Time itself. Who indeed conquers Time? Paraphrasing Milan Kundera, the struggle of Life and Civilisation is the struggle of memory against its erasure.

The story of Lord Ram and the example of His life reminds us who we are. He reminds us about the building blocks of our civilisation. And, so long as we continue to remember, we live on.
