Sudeep, You may know that Christian and Islamic missionaries have said that Raja Ram, [Later Bhagawan Ram to millions of Hindus] was ONLY a story - a story like the Pancha Tantra, and, therefore, Hindus should stop worshipping him, instead come to the "true" God - the Christian or Islamic God. Second, in the current "Ram-Sethu" controversy, some "pseudo-secularists" came up with a so-called "Report", as part of the docs they submitted to the S.Ct, that the Ramayana was a story and that Ram, therefore, never built this Sethu. I hope you begin to see the need to bring out whatever evidence there is to show the historicity of Raja Ram, who ruled in Ayodhya, belonged to a well-known dynasty, mentioned in ALL the Puranas and Ithihasas, both Hindu, Buddhist and Jain. What Commissioner SP Singh has done is to bring together, whatever literary and other evidence, there is to show that Raja Ram's life and tribulations was NOT Valmiki's imagination. The Ramayana records astrological data, geographical data [ every place, it mentions in India and Sri Lanka - mountains, lakes and forests - is still here, even the locations and distances in some cases are accurate ]. Therefore, Commissioner SP Singh is starting a process of informing people, hoping that more such research may show even better, scientific confirmation of Raja Ram, the Great Monarch who gave Ram-Rajya that generations of Hindus have remembered with great affection and gratitude. What a man he was, what an Avatar.
