Guys! It seems more than discussing the topic, we are discussing personal issues of how we look at the topic. we all know humans make mistake and that sankaracharya is a human too. and we are also shocked that heinous act of murder happened somewhere in the world. but besides being just a simple human being sankaracharya holds a position and i guess the word sankaracharya itself makes it clear that it is a position assigned to a human being. So when we talk about sankaracharya being tried for murder we are simply not discussin an unfortunate incident of murder by a human being, but a murder possibly committed by someone in that big of a position. Do you guys think its the same case if the a government official of, say france, said something terrible about Nepal and if some ordinary french person said the same thing about our country. Though the things said are exactly same I am sure we will be more angry if it comes from an official's mouth than from an ordinary person because the official person in some respect signifies french government but the ordinary person doesnot. the point I am trying to get at is sankaracharya represents a position and not only a normal human being.
