Hello everyone, good morning!

I hope you're all doing well. I'm back with another blog post, and today, I want to share my thoughts on a topic that has sparked much debate: the treatment of mythology as history, particularly when it comes to the epic tale of the Ramayana.

The Ramayana is an Indian mythology story that is renowned worldwide, but often, its narrative is referenced in discussions and debates as if it were a factual account from history. This has led to some confusion and, at times, has even resulted in the story being worshipped or learned as a historical event.

In this blog, I aim to respond to this conflation of mythology with history. I'll delve into why such magnificent tales, replete with characters possessing shape-shifting abilities and remarkable powers, should be appreciated as literary masterpieces rather than literal historical accounts.

So, buckle up as we navigate the fine line between the allegorical grandeur of mythology and the empirical scrutiny of history.
