<b>Until proven, a myth: Historians</b>
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->New Delhi/Calcutta, Sept. 12: Ram cannot be considered a historical figure despite references in ancient literature because crucial material evidence to authenticate his existence has not been found, historians have said.

<b>“A textual reference necessarily needs to be corroborated by inscriptions engraved in stone or other long-lasting material or by archaeological evidence,” </b>said Nayanjot Lahiri, professor of ancient history at Delhi University.

Until such evidence is found, a character or event in texts or literature is considered mythological, historians said.

<b>Historians caution, however, against accepting all that is written in texts about historically proven characters as well. There are aspects of the lives of the Maurya dynasty — that included Ashoka — which, though mentioned in texts, are yet to be established.</b>

In contrast, the life of King Harshavardhana — 590 to 640 AD — that the Harshacharita talks about is almost completely documented, experts said.

“The earlier texts are naturally harder to date. The characters and events they mention are even harder to track down archaeologically,” historian Shahid Amin said.

But Nyayacharya Pranabeshwar Smrititirtha, who teaches at the Sitaram Vaidik Mahavidyalaya, near Dakshineswar, laughed out aloud on being told about the affidavit.

“Will we forget the shastras because of someone’s random comment? Shall we forget Valmiki? Is the timing of Durga puja meaningless?” the Sanskrit scholar asked.

“We clearly utter, during the invocation, mantras on how Ram performed the puja to kill Ravana. Is that false? Let them prove it first. An epic will carry an allegorical element, but that does not mean the entire work is imaginary.”

Yoga guru Baba Ramdev said the affidavit was an insult to the Hindu faith. “Does the government have the courage to deny the existence of the important figures of other religions?” he asked.

After Nayanjot Lahiri death, we can say he never existed, let see whether he inscribed his name on some stone. These historians are really fool. They should have told our ancestors that write everything on stone.
It also means generation before language came never existed. What a moron are these historians. They should shut down these history department.
Hey Ram!!.
