To have the two epics considered as history, as true past events, we need evidence. History is the study of past events, with evidences. Mythology is a collection of myths-a collection of wildly accepted false ideas. We must begin by defining mythology and history.

Since we know that Valmiki Ramayan and Mahabharat have been compiled and recompiled over generations, the original events changed into a fantasy medieval war epic. Maybe Rama and Krishna could very well be great human beings, brilliant strategists and administrators. From Rajnikant to PM Narendra Modi, we can see it even today. People have always made great leaders equivalent to gods. Therefore what we read today, could perhaps be, a completely modified unintended version of the original story that could have happened. People have always sung praises in song about great kings, and associated mythical stories with them, for example, Chandragupta Vikramaditya.

If we do believe that Valmiki and Vedvyas wrote the verses, he knew the only way to make it survive the test of time, is to make people sing it. This was the reason for their survival to modern times while most work in Sanskrit before 6th Century BCE perished. These epics were sung by people, passed on for many generations, centuries before written down. To look for evidence of epics that contain instances like a person watching the entire Kurukshetra War, while being only a head (Barbarika), and Krishna covering the sun with his Chakra, and Ravana having ten heads, and elixir in his navel, and several other illogical supernatural elements is nothing short of insanity. We must note an important point that both the epics are older than all Puranas, including the Vishnu Purana, which implies that the idea of Rama and Krishna being the 7th and 8th reincarnations of Vishnu respectively came later on. Firm belief, faith and mass delusion are not evidences. On our quest to seek the truth behind the epics, we must remember that we shall consider only peer-reviewed evidences and data findings. Should they be considered mythology, or history, and most importantly how should they be taught to the coming generation? This will be our quest today. There have always been the questions regarding the two most popular epics of Sanatan Dharma, on grounds of reality.
