Neutrality

edit

Neutrality of this article is highly questionable. Much more criticism needs to be put.

  • TOI
    • many verses were deleted.
    • "Apart from the original text, for which Rambhadracharya has relied extensively on older manuscripts," this is stated as Rambhadracharya's claim not fact
  • Zee News says that
    • the edition changed dohas to chaupais and vice versa
    • changed wording of several verses
    • Renamed the sixth canto Lankakanda
  • The "Difference" section is highly based on Rambhadracharya's claims. Third-party neutral references are needed to validate them.

Made some changes. Have a look... ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 11:49, 27 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

The changes do not make it neutral. Problems still exist:

  • "According to him, there are the following differences in spelling, grammar, and prosodic conventions between this edition and contemporary editions of the Ramcharitmanas." Opinion does not matter here; fact does. If I pick the Gita Press edition/Venkateshwar Press edition, are there differences or not?
  • She claimed to have founded missing verses in the Ayodhyakand, quoting one,"Deepshikh sam yuvati tan .."
    • founded -> found
    • Again if I pick the Gita Press edition/Venkateshwar Press edition, are there verses missing? Fact. "There are missing verses in the Ayodhyakand, quoting one,"Deepshikh sam yuvati tan .."" can be a fact.
  • "Prem Bhushan, a Kathavachak and discipline of Rambhadracharya, claimed that the differences are only related to grammar and spellings"
    • Ref says "Swami's disciples like noted Kathavachak Prem Bhushanji claims the alterations mainly relate to punctuation marks, matras and spellings." mainly applies other differences exist
  • Also need to the threat by Sants to dethrone him from pontiff-ship. IMO, Zee News has it. Don't remember exactly.. please check
