RAM RAJYA AN "IDEAL WELFARE STATE " INDEED !
According to the Ramayana ,the whole world was 'created by god' for the benefit and glory of the Brahmins. All other castes were meant to serve them and the kings were mere puppets in their hands.
A Brahmin lost his son and he openly blamed Rama for it.If the king discharged his duties properly ,a son would not die while the father was alive. That was o

ne of the special features of Ramrajya but the death of a Brahmin boy was an exception.Thereupon Rama under the advice of Vashishta appointed a committee of 8 leading Brahmins to advice him as to what he should do.They deliberated and reported to the king that the death of the Brahmin boy was due to the fact that a Shudra was performing tapas,a horrible crime!Rama did not know that there was such an offender under his iron rule.However,after a long search undertaken in person throughout the length and breadth of his empire,the Shudra namely Shambuka was located on the bank of a lake by the side of the Saivali mountain doing rigorous tapas,standing upon his head.Without a moment's hesitation Rama "with a beautiful sharp sword chopped off his head."
The gods in heaven were so delighted at that "god like work"of Rama that they showered flowers upon his head "again and again"and extolled him thus :-"thou hast performed this godlike work-by thy grace this Shudra will not be able to attain heaven".When Rama went to the hermitage of Agastya to pay his respects to him,"that highly effulgent Brahmin saint" and "the jewel of asceticism" complimented himon the cold-blooded murder of the Shudra,which he described as an "act of justice"and presented him with an ornament "wrought by Viswakarma himself".
