Did Ram exist ?
by Ajay Joshi on Apr 15, 2008 11:10 PM

i dont have the time to write a full comemnt, so will restrict to afew points.

it is a very good article and presents some interesting historical facts. in a brief reading i found 2 weaknesse in the arguments.

1.that ram lived 8,69,108 years ago is alittle far-fethced, since the earliest recorded history is not even 10,000 years old. there HAVE to be njumerous secondary confirmations for this date to be accepted as reliable. unfortunately there are none.
2. that the hanuman sethu is man-made is another weak point. if oyu look at satellite pictures of islands near larger land masses, you will see similar submerged rock formations. i have myself seen a few on the net.

i think the bigger problem here is that we Indians tend to get emotional about such things, rather than doing solid archaelogical or historical research
