But what does Sitaram Yechury do in his borrowed plumes, with his swiped sagacity? To put the situation in context one has to bring in the rather unkind image of a monkey borrowing his master’s razor.

Quoting Sri Aurobindo on the concept of Dasavatars and the historicity of Sri Ram will be in order in this context: […]
