Dear Prasad, Ramayana, Mahabarata cannot exist in vaccum. It is NOT possible to write such "unbelievably long/detailed/sub stories texts" without references to local kings, folk tales, stories, intervowen with myth. Troy story was taken as a legend/myth by all greeks, but now you know it is a Lankan version of ramayana. South dravidian kings were warring for centuries with Lanka & ransacked/burning Anuradhapura/Lanka - documented by all history books on Lanka. All cities of ramayana/mahabarata/vedas etc.. are in south india!!. The problem with this version (which fits perfectly all of them), is that it cuts of North India & they want to/are claiming for last 200+ yrs that Rama is a North Indian King. But u dont find Thai/Indonesia/etc.. claiming Rama is their King despite Ayodhya being there !!. So u will find many NOT agreeing with this. The problem of introducing a North Indian King is that there is ABSOLUTELY NO HISTORICAL BASIS IE. NO NORTH INDIAN KING EVER CAME TO SOUTH INDIA & WAGED ANY TYPE OF WAR, LET ALONE WITH LANKA - NONE OF THE HISTORICAL FIGURES/TEXTS HAVE ANY SUCH INFO BUT MANY SOUTH DRAVIDIAN KINGS WENT TO WAR WITH LANKA !! TRUTH needs to be told no matter what & MOST IMPORTANTLY THE SOUTH DRAVIDIANS NEED TO KNOW THEY ARE THE ORIGINATOR OF HINDUISM, JAINISM, BUDDHISM & THROUGH LANKA - ORIGINATOR OF TROY/GREEK GODS/CULTURE !. PEOPLE LIKE KUNJUPPU/ETC.. WILL NEED TO BE UNDOUBTLY PROUD ABOUT THIER CULTURE INSTEAD OF LOSING IT IN THE UNFORTUNATE ISSUE OF CASTE SYSTEM ! AND WE AS TAMIL BRAHMINS MUST BE MAGNANIMOUS ENOUGH TO ADMIT THAT RAMA KRISHNA SHIVA VISHNU ARE DARK DRAVIDIAN GODS MODELLED ON DARK DRAVIDIAN KINGS & WE ARE ALSO DRAVIDIANS & NOT SOME IMPORTED ARYAN RACE !! WHICH IS THE TRUTH & ALL LEGENDS/TEXTS, HISTORICAL BOOKS, EVIDENCES POINT TO !! "I AM HAPPY TO DEBATE, STAND CORRECTED, CHANGE MY OPINION IF ANY OF MY DATA/THESIS & DERIVATIONS ARE INCORRECT" Satya Meva Jayathe !
