This might be a little shocking statement. One of the programs telecasted by a Sri Lankan channel (and also a Indian channel) based on historical proofs available with Sri Lankan Government prove that raavana was a part of their society and he ruled a kingdom which was more than what actual Sri Lanka is today.
This would be an eye opening finding for all those who believe that ‘Ramayana’ is a myth. No, it is not so, ‘Ramayana’ written by Valmiki and Tulsi Das ‘Ram Charitha Manas’ are real stories which exactly depict the society which Lord Rama and raavana ruled.
