Ask this question to Ramanad Sagar , He made  Ramayan,
not RSS and VHP.
  Why do you bring RSS and VHP into this issue? Why
not communists object this ? Why not seculars object
this? Why did you not object this? You all perhaps
even did not ever comprehend this fact before
concluding that Hindu texts treat dark people as
inferior.
   It escapes your humble comprehension why RSS/VHP
did object this fact because your comprehension is too
HUMBLE, so HUMBLE that this fact itself escapes your
comprehension.
