By mistake print has brought a Dhusyanth sir a Hindu writer .... we love you keep doing these mistakes and learn some good knowledge
It is not a mistake, they deliberately invited an Idiot to mock Hinduism
An epic becomes history.
Ha ha ha
No, our history was told to us was mythology. We are correcting our own understanding.
Its myth. You can have full faith in it. That is okay. History demands much more scrutiny, evidence and scientific inquiry. This need for proving it to be true exist in other religions as well. Same kind of people does try to claim that the events mentioned in their myrhs are true history. Historians reject it.
😂 Good Evening Brown Coolie, the thing is the west spent billions to find the existence of Jesus Christ and yet they still aren’t sure If he even existed, but all “historians” believe it, while here, we aren’t even looking not EVEN the slightest effort but already have enough evidence in front of our eyes.
@@grimsobad8545 Nope. Not all historians. Those who believe claims that multiple people are blended into Jesus. Some claim he may have existed but don't believe his miracles and stories. They provide theories and evidence but no specific verification is given. You can watch videos on it and read books on it.
@@grimsobad8545 Okay. When Ram existed? What original sources are there? Not just Hindu sources but all types. Do you believe that the mythical elements like super arrows existed? If so what proof do you have for that?
And no,
The research on geography is not enough. You need dates, time, secular sources and much more.
In case of Jesus,
You should read historicity of Jesus. Historian cite Roman, Jewish, Christian sources.
I was not sure about it's history enough then I read article on it and the claim is based on. Anything supernatural is still considered mythological in case of Jesus. Only his existence and may have teach someone. It is like evidence of Buddha.
Doesn't matter if it is myth or not, both sides can stick to their belief. What matters is there are things to learn from it and make ones and others life beautiful!
@@shivakrishna1743 Some things are good, not all. I don't consider it ideal book. I find somethings good while others very problematic.
I would love to watch someone arguing middle eastern desert stories of Prophet or “son of god” being true and not a myth. Ohh my my…..
Innovative! 1001 Arabian nights would be a good start 😂
I'm not surprised - India is one of the countries where even educated people are confused with mythology as history, and this trend may be there for the foreseeable future. This is why including psychology in High School subjects is very important - at least a few of us will understand cognitive and self-serving bias . Most of this nonsensical talk is due to a superiority complex out of an inferiority complex - as some superhumans existed in our land long ago. If Ramayan is history, then what about the Iliad and Odyssey (the precursors) - but what percentage of the West believes that they were history - that is where the vast difference comes in these societies and their mental growth.
Please understand that wherever Christianity spread, all previous religions and their history was declared mythology to fit the narrative. This happened to hindu as well as greaco roman history. As you nust know we have archeological evidence of Troy and other places. The story of independent india has been educated indian telling the masses the narrative our colonizing masters left us. We have to try to get out of the mindset and figure out our past.
Uttara Ramayana is a bullshit story and is not part of actual Valmiki Ramayana, where Rama and Sita lived and ruled happily ever after. All other Ramayana versions in Thailand and Indonesia end up with Rama and Sita living happily ever after. Uttara Ramayan is like a supplement to Ramayana written by Tulsidas during the Islamic rule in India. The reason probably is the mocking of hindus on behalf of Sita by Muslim clergy of the time, who from Islamic perspective, was a war captive and as per Islam law would have been forced in concubine of Ravana. So Tulsi day created another story of agni pariksha and banishing of Sita to defend the honor of Ram ( from Islamic morality perspective) but in the process actually dishonored him. At least now the foolish hindu scholars should wake up
People are missing the point of Ramayana, it is not important if it is a myth or not. What is important what believing it in does to you. First it has lot of ethical and moral lessons, better than any other religious scripture in world. Second and most important, is that it is supposed to instill Bhakti or devotion or love for God in you. Bhakti is the easiest and best spritual practice, a man with Bhakti can live a happier, moral and more courageous life. There is a story by Paulo Cohelo : Once there was a man seeking to cross a dangerous river. He was terrified of the swift current but had heard that those with unshakable faith could cross it unharmed. Desperate, he approached a wise sage for help. The sage handed him a small leaf and said, "This leaf carries divine power. Keep it with you, and with unwavering belief, walk across the river. But remember, do not open it or question its power."
The man took the leaf, feeling reassured by the sage's words. With the leaf clutched in his hand and faith in his heart, he began walking across the river. To his amazement, as he stepped into the water, the current no longer threatened him, and the river parted gently to allow his passage. With every step, his belief grew stronger, and the water stayed at bay.
Halfway across the river, however, curiosity stirred within him. He wondered what powerful secret lay hidden in the leaf that allowed him to perform such a miracle. Slowly, doubt crept into his mind, and he thought, How is this possible? What could be so powerful about this leaf? Unable to resist, he opened the leaf to see what was written on it.
To his surprise, the leaf contained nothing but the simple word "Ram"-the name of the divine. Skepticism immediately took hold. Could it really be just a word? he thought. How can a mere word hold such power?
As soon as doubt entered his mind, the river, which had been calm, began to rage once more. The man's faith had faltered, and with it, the miraculous power that had kept him afloat disappeared. He struggled against the current but, overwhelmed by his doubts, he was soon swept away and drowned.
The real miracle of Ramayan is that it has helped Indian civilization survive the storms of Islamic invaders, British, and Communist BS
I would love to believe it. Just explain me a peer reviewed archeological interpretation.
Those who thinks Ramayana is a myth.Let them.But it’s history of India.
Man switches to Hindi in English Channel, that itself is a lack of common sense and he thinks he has encompassed everything about the Great Lord Ram with clarity. Man, just tell you’re here to sell your book 😂
If people want to delude themselves they can, but the facts remain fact. Ramayan and Mahabharata are mythologies, and there is no historical records of them existing. No serious historian will say otherwise.
Give me evidence of human existence before 10 thousand years.
You don't have it, that doesn't mean humans didn't exist before 10 thousand years.
It would be intresting if you have same option about middle eastern desert stories or prophet or son of god
Ohh wait - you do get Sarr Tan Se Juda threats then. Right. So this hatred and ignorance is reserved for one religion only. I see it now
@@PositivismAtItsBest true
Who are these historians? Why would someone invest time to research our history? We all have Vasuki as the mighty snake in our texts -after many long years, someone needs to come and prove it existed -what a pathetic state.
@@2705ias Archeological evidence of history will is barely found for more than 10k thousands years. That doesn't mean human didn't exist before 10k years.
How can one person clarify all the doubts of ramayana real BS
What I'm hearing him say is, this 'one book' is a fix-all historical source! I can feel Akanksha here 🤔
Ramayan is part of our Folklore. Foklores are part fact part fiction. Older the folklore more the fiction content as with passage of time more and more stories get grafted on to the original
Don't confuse using English words. Maharshi's clearly called them Ithihasa in Sanskrit -which means they are real and happened in the same way stated.
Ramayan and Mahabharat are folklore and not Itihas
@@deepakseth6256 what is your referencece?
@@deepakseth6256 'Ithihaasa' in Sanskrit means "thus it happened" , 'Itihaas' in Hindi means history. No need to confuse the two and that other dude is even more confused. The Sanskrit word is used only in discretion to two popular epics that are very much based on historical events, not all folklore or tales or other events. There are other kinds of lore in Puranas, Mahatmyams etc. which are more esoteric in nature.
What "Itihaasa" means in its reference to those words is to teach the core tenets of the Vedas and Dharma through the viewpoint of lived experience. These are somewhat secular (conducting ones life with Dharma or unconditional commitment to truth, duty, dignity, equanimity and well being of all). So yes, your first comment is correct, but to what end that is the question. Its also not just folklore like any other.

Ramayana is a mythology deal with it
You lack experience of real world.. deal with it
@@ragnarkasnia Really, how so?

Life itself is a myth Ramayana is a bigger myth

How many follow the ethics of dharma of Ram Rajya? One can claim legitimacy of history only if one adheres to the tenets of Righteousness and prevention of evil. Do leaders align their minds to their consciences to build perceptions of truth and justice? Ramayan and Mahabharat are ideal levels of fundamental perfection to be applied as realistically feasible. They are a " path" in narrative form.
For HEAVANS sake, please stop repeatedly speaking old mythologies stories still in Ai Automation Sweeping Job Markets and making all our Educated Young Students Jobless and Unemployed. These kind of storyteller's should stop shouting old years mythology history.. and start writing books and educate young indians on How to Get Jobs, How to live in 2024 as Un-employed Youth and live in this Country.
We need a strong black tea..everywhere, every tv, every movies, every damn thing only talk these 2 old Stories still in 2025 around the corner and Our Unemployed Youth Sky-Rocketing to Sky.
Stop blabbering only on old pasy gloeies..old glories cannot give a single bread or roti or anything to live
Don’t watch Don’t follow and ignore - simple rule for you
At least be thankful that nobody is coming after you saying “sar tan se juda” and bombing your house 😂
I am pleasantly surprised and proud too to have Dushyanth Sridhar here on The Print"? when the so-called right-wing channels are busy promoting political demi gods on the otherside
Ram is a fictional character by great author valmiki. One of best writers of all time. Written book in that era. But BJP RSS minions are trying to make it history for their own political good.

This is like Vijay Mallaya telling me how good kingfisher is for me
kingfisher was actually a great airline, the only world class airline in India that time and if the communist minded government and people had allowed it to survive, it would have been one of the greatest airlines in the world employing millions of Indians in good jobs, but with our communist mindset and unanswerable bureaucracy we destroyed him because he was a capitalist. Vijay Mallaya was a genious and created many great brands successfully, his misfortune was that he was an Indian citizen based in India. Now we sold off the Indian airlines to Singapore Airlines which is still great but half of the profits will go to Singapore a country of just 3 million people. Half of the profits of Airtel already goes to Singapore. So the moral of the story is that if you have to run a business in India, base your operations outside of India because the Indian people, politicians and bureaucrats are stupid and dangerous. There are still a lot of people who will vote for Ghandis and watch Dhruv Rathi videos

Ram was way better than momo but still casteist and sexist in many ways
Uttara Ramayana is a bullshit story and is not part of actual Valmiki Ramayana, where the story ends with Rama and Sita living happily ever after and their rule bringing peace prosperity and justice. All other Ramayana versions in South India, Thailand and Indonesia also end up with Rama and Sita living happily ever after.
Uttara Ramayan is like a supplement to Ramayana written by Tulsidas during the Islamic rule in India. The reason probably is the mocking of Hindus by Muslims for Sita being a war captive anf their God Rama not being able to save her. From Islamic law perspective, was a war captive are to be treated as sex slaves. So Tulsidas created another story of agni pariksha and banishing of Sita to defend the honor of Ram but in the process actually dishonored Ram.
