Ram is like spiderman. Ramayana is like Batman movie script or james bond adventure on celluloid screen.
No spiderman and batman can be real things. Stories are always stories, no matter how much sentiments and scripts are involved. One has to take birth and die, if they got to real. Anything and everything is fake , if that thing do not have time stamp, or no history or antiquity.
None of Hindu god ever existed historically or in reality.
