Renowned UPSC exam tutor Shubhra Ranjan addressed allegations on Saturday that she compared Lord Ram to Mughal emperor Akbar, clarifying that her intention was not to hurt anyone’s feelings. ‘My intention is not to hurt anyone’s feelings. If it has happened, then I apologize,’ she said.

This statement comes in response to a widely circulated clip from her lecture on social media, where it was alleged that the UPSC CSE coach claimed Mughal emperor Akbar was more powerful than Lord Ram, offending the sentiments of Hindus.

Ms. Ranjan explained that the video in question was only a small part of a broader classroom discussion. ‘You can understand from watching the complete video lecture that I intended to convey that Prabhu Sri Ram’s Rajya was an ideal state,’ she said, expressing regret for any unintended misinterpretation.

An X user criticized Ms. Ranjan, accusing her of corrupting the minds of UPSC aspirants by comparing Lord Ram to Akbar and calling for strong action against her.

However, some netizens supported the tutor. One user commented, ‘She explained that Akbar defined his own morality, whereas Shri Ram actually followed morality. What is the problem in analyzing Shri Ram as a king?’

‘Bhagwan Prabhu Sri Ram signifies the best of India’s spiritual heritage, civilizational ethos, and cultural history. We have the highest reverence and faith in Prabhu Sri Ram and the path shown by him. As an institution, we and all our members hold the highest reverence for all religions,’ the IAS tutor said.
