The recent affidavit by ASI,not to forget supported by Congress, questions the very existence of Ram. It suggests that there had been no proofs if a kingdom ruled by Ram ever existed. What better opportunity could our esteemed Opposition party have asked for, to shout at ruling govt. I am surprised how can anyone, howsoever stupid he may be, can even give a statement like that. One doesnt need to know the Rocket Science to expect the consequences of this. Its not just with Hinduism. Take Christanity for example. DaVinci Code didn't gel along because it clashed with the beliefs.
Nevertheless, I dont feel if this needs to be proved that Ram is a myth. Everyone, including even BJP or VHP or RSS or whichever orthodox organisation we take into consideration, knows the bitter truth. But, Ram is no more a historical character that needs the proof of existence. Ram is a belief. A belief that resides in the heart of everyone. Ram is the myth that gives the hope that truth & goodness would always prevail. It is a faith that stops people from wrong doing many times. If Ram has got so much on brighter side, then why not just lets accept it a reality.
Lastly,such a faith doesnt look forward to be proved. Irrespective of whether it ultimately proves to be a myth or reality, it would continue to exist in the soul of people for generations to come.

I feel anyone who would read this blog (if ever it happens so!) might not agree with me that I am not an Orthodox.
