Rama's Contempt For Women & Low Castes

Rama disfigured and mutilated many women by cutting off their noses, breasts, ears etc. and tortured them (Soorpanagai, Ayomuki).

Rama said, "Women should not be trusted" and that "Secrets should not be confided to the wife". (Ayodhya Kandam, Chapter 100).

Sambuka was slain (by Rama) because he was making penance which was forbidden to him by Vedas as he was a "Shudra". (Uttara Kandam, Chapter 76).

Looking at his hand Rama said the Sanskrit slogan "Oh right hand, you kill this Asche Shudra unhesitatingly as killing this Shudra is the only way to  get back the life of the deceased Brahmin boy".

"Are you not one of the limbs of Rama?" (Valmiki Ramayanam)

Note: This Rama, who mercilessly took away the life of Sambuka for no other fault than that of making penance is held as the Avatar (incarnation) of Vishnul If there were kings like Rama alive now, alas! what would be the plight of thise who are called "Shudras?".
