When was ramayana first written

Climate changes, and the drying of Saraswati, led to the collapse of this civilisation. The only image recognisable is one that suggests Shiva in meditation. While Harappan cities collapsed, the ideas found in the Harappan civilisation did not die out and probably served as one of the many tributaries to the river we called Indic culture.

And so plants such as pipal, symbols such as swastika and mathematical proportions such as one and one quarter which have been traced in Harappan cities are still very much part of contemporary Indian faith systems.

As the Harappan civilisation cities without language waned, the Vedic civilisation language without cities waxed, marked by hymns in a language similar to the language of a nomadic people who migrated out 5, years ago from Eurasia towards Europe in the West and India via Iran in the East.

It was never an invasion as British Orientalists imagined. Photo: Reuters. According to language experts, while proto-Sanskrit may have come from Eurasia, the language we call Sanskrit today emerged in the region where Harappan cities once thrived.

Did the two people mingle, exchange ideas? Did the Veda-chanting people inhabit the dying Harappan cities? Evidence is weak. The people speaking Vedic Sanskrit eventually spread further east towards the Ganga where they established a thriving civilisation 3, years ago. The hymns refer to an eastward migration.

Reference to iron is found in later hymns. Archaeologists have found painted greyware pottery in the Gangetic plains that can be dated to this period. So we are fairly confident that Vedic civilisation thrived in the Gangetic plains 3, years ago. The epics refer to events in the Gangetic plains, so can we say these events happened around 3, years ago?

Events in the Mahabharata refer to the upper Gangetic plains Indraprastha, near modern Delhi and the behaviour of people is rather crude as compared to the very refined behaviour found in the Ramayana and which describes events in the lower Gangetic plains Ayodhya, Mithila and further south.

Can we say events in the Ramayana took place after the Mahabharata, and the refinement indicates passage of time and evolution of culture? However, this goes against what the epics themselves say. The Secrets of Ravana Death. History of Ravana. How did Ravana get Lanka? Who was Ravana in his Previous Birth. How many Types of Ramayana Prevalent Worldwide. The History of Kedarnath Temple. Who built Kedarnath Temple? Story of the Temple that is Immersed in Water. History of Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga Temple.

This Ramayana ends with the return of Rama and Sita from exile and his ascension to the Ayodhya throne," said Anasuya Bhowmick, lead scholar of the Asiatic Society, who is working with the manuscript. This Ramayana does not begin with the curse that drove Dasarath to send his son to exile. Instead, it begins with a curse that befell goddess Lakshmi when Shukracharya got angry with Narayan for killing Shukracharya's wife.

The other curse falls on both Lakshmi and Narayan when Dharitri cannot bear the pain of the constant battle between gods and demons. In both cases, Laxmi and Narayan are told they will have to bear the pain of separation.

Some interesting details - like the ages of Sita and Rama at the time of marriage and the date when Sita was abducted by Ravana -are in this version," said scholar Manabendu Bandyopadhyay.
