>>>Valmiki proudly says to Ram, 'I am the 10th son of Pracheta, and I never remember speaking even one untrue sentence'. How can such a missionary and follower of truth could have written an imaginary story of Ram?
God must know all and should know about valmik. Ram was not god, he could have been a good king, ruler etc, but certainly not god.

No one has ever doubted that Valmiki lived. His life has been chronicled in detail in Skand Puran, Bhavishya Puran and Adhyatma Ramayana.

Why should i not question my ancestors?? Why should i glorify wrongs/crimes of my ancestors or not be ashamed of them?? this is twisted logic without any reason. the author is doing double talk, just to justify his writing. Very far from truth.
