Violence! Counter-violence! And Parashuram is the name of someone burning in the fire of revenge. Parashuram literally means 'Axe wielding Ram'. It can be said that Parashuram is not a person but a violent thought, the fire of revenge. This fire destroyed the conscience and sensitivity of an ascetic. The question arises whether a person can become popular by establishing himself as a mass leader only on the basis of extreme violence?
Abstract [Hindi]
हिंसा! प्रतिहिंसा! और प्रतिशोध की आग में जलने का नाम है परशुराम। परशुराम का शाब्दिक अर्थ है ‘कुल्हाड़ी वाले राम’। ऐसा कहा जा सकता है कि परशुराम कोई व्यक्ति नहीं एक हिंसक विचार है, प्रतिशोध की अग्नि है। इस आग ने एक तपस्वी के विवेक और संवेदना को भी नष्ट कर दिया था। प्रश्न उठता है कि क्या व्यक्ति केवल चरम हिंसा के बूते भी जन-नायक के रूप में स्थापित होकर लोकप्रिय हो सकता है?
