The attributes chosen to compare are taken from the standpoint of importance in the Indian – Hindu dharmic structure. The events in their lives shall be used to substantiate the comparison. The methodology used for comparison in here is to set out the same with respect to various human characteristics or personality traits. But compare we must do, having set forth on this endeavor. Hence normally comparison is very difficult. Their times, their characters, their outlook to life, their circumstances were all different. Rama and Krishna were two different personalities. On all delicate situations faced by Rama, specially where his actions seem unpalatable, Krishna is brought in and a statement is usually made – "If it were Krishna, he wouldn’t have let this happen he would have done something else and resolved the issue." This article is a humble effort in trying to actually see if there is any veracity to such comparisons. One of the favorite pastimes of people interested in Indian epics – Ramayana and Mahabharata, is to compare Rama with Krishna, specially to take actions performed by Rama and speculate on how Krishna would have handled the situation.
