their is no historical record for existence of ram........or any other characters of ramayana........historians haven't found a shred of evidence that such people existed.........mahabharat ,on the other hand is based upon the dim memory of events past.........of course massively spiced up ,with people credited with extraordinary ,almost magical weapons and powers ,and of course ,painting the eventual winners as heroes ........though many historians believe that the kauravas were the victims rather than villains ........their only mistake being ........they were killed , and history being written by victors , nobody among them was alive to take their side when the mahabharat was written......
