Ramayana.Ravana Real, Existed Study

I have been posting on the historicity of Lord Rama and am planning to write on the Birth date od Lord Krishna.

While I was 'Story telling' my grand son, 4, he asked me whether Ravana was real or a story.

That struck me.

I have been going after facts on Lord Rama, the route taken by Him, His Birth Date and never for a moment it struck me to go after Ravana.

If Lord Rama is real, so should Ravana Be, as the whole Ramayana minus Ravana is Zero!

I did some checks and this Post.

A Study by Tharaka Devinda Gunasekera, a Sri Lankan( what better source could there be!) attempts to prove Ravana was real.

The author has sifted Facts from Myths and has done a good interpretation.

His proof consists of Three facts.

2.The Government has announced training programmes for The Tamils.

Tamil Girls are molested and Tamil men return with fear truly terrified.

3.Religious Freedom,Attacks on Muslims.

Though the Sri Lanka Government speaks of tolerance; the reality is otherwise.

Muslims were made to go against the Tamils and after the Genocide Muslims have become the target of attacked by the Buddhist extremists.(read my spot )

This is what The Institute on Religious and Public Policy has to say in its 2012 Report.
