Popular Telugu lyric writer Ananta Sriram has taken on the so-called 'intellectuals' who opposed the slogan Jai Sri Ram and wrote a letter to Prime Minister Modi against mob attacks. They said that anyone opposing the government are being branded as anti-national and urban naxal.

Ananta Sriram took exception to the attempts of the 49 'intellectuals' to blame mob attacks on just one community. On his official Facebook account, he posted a sarcasm and wit-laced response to their letter. He asked if the intellectuals want the names Jai and Sri Ram be banned. ''If that happens, what would happen to countless parents who named their parents after lord Ram? What will happen to me for I am named Ananta Sriram and to Sitaram Yechuri, who too is named after Lord Ram?'' Ananta Sriram asked.

''How will we change our names in the birth certificates and the SSC exam certificates? Where should we go? We will be made to run from pillar to post just because of these intellectuals,'' he said sarcastically. Sri Ram is known to be a Modi supporters and has time and again defended MOdi's decisions and has taken on those criticising Modi on social media.
