Rama history
by JKP on Sep 12, 2007 11:32 PM

I worship most of Ram's deeds. However, in matters of science

we should not be prejudiced. I mean, the scientific evidence

should be placed above mythology. No sensible man believes that

whatever written in Ramayana are true historical facts. However,

we cannot rule out that everything in Ramyana is mythology.

There should have lived a good king like Rama. However, all

the virtues assigned to him (as seen in Ramayana) was not

entirely of that king. It might have been imagination of the

poet(or poets) who wrote Ramayana based on his vision of how

an ideal human should be. There have been interpolation in the text especially to make Rama an avatar of Vishnu a brahmanical god. Above all where can anybody find an

evidence that there exists a human at all in entire Indian

subcontinent at the time the Adam's bridge started existing.

The human inhabitation in Indian subcontinent started somewhere

between 200,000 to 500,000 years ago. That human being should pass many thousands of years to create a civilisation like the one depicted in Ramayana.
