In my college days, while I was a student in Mar Ivanios College, Trivandrum, there was a preacher named Paul Sudhakar. Before his conversion to Christ, he was Sudhakara Menon, a nephew of our first defence minister late Krishna Menon. He used to argue with Hindu scholars and they have agreed with him that Ram and Krishna are purely allegorical figures. Just as Shakespeare wrote about Macbeth, Vyasa wrote about Ram and Krishna. Now a days people are trying to make them historical figures, but they are not really. All the Hindu scholars know about that. So just ask them and why make this unnecessary controversy and blame people against the truth? It is good to accept historical facts, without making history from allegory. Mike

Mike, You reflect bascially what your collge tought you.. why don't you dwell through history and find out. No religion has hard evidence even of Goa/ALmighty/Allaha.. Does that a good reason to say "There is no God".. I challenge ASI to prove that there is infact a God.. Well, thats a different matter altogether.. The point is Hindus are being unfairly treated(due to lack of unity or due to diversity of faith among hndus even).. All efforts of Congress since independece have been to undermine hindu unity and create vote bank. Ambika Soni can go to hell .. and so does ASI who are basically bunch of babus following party dictats..
