No evidence to prove existence of Lord Ram: T.N. Minister Sivasankar

The Hindu  

Tamil Nadu Transport Minister S.S. Sivasankar on Friday, August 2, 2024 contended that there was no archaeological evidence or historical records to prove the existence of Lord Ram. But, there is no evidence to trace the history of Ram,” Mr. Sivasankar said at a function held at Sri Brihadeeswara Temple at Gangaikondacholapuram to mark the birth anniversary of Rajendra Chola. Referring to the Ram Temple at Ayodhya, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in January, Mr. Sivasankar said the claim was that Lord Ram lived 3,000 years ago. In his view, former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, who understood “their evil designs,” took a number of steps to demonstrate Tamils’ rich culture, civilisation, and identity.
