Mahabharat - A Myth or A Reality
13. If it were a poetic fiction, such comprehensive account of the events on the battle-field wouldnt has been given. For a poem, it is far-fetched. It will only serve the purpose of boring the reader to death! 14. The description of such myriad of characters is astonishing. It is impossible for one single-mind to be the genesis of that number of personality-types. It could only be true if the Mahabharat is the recording of a real-life drama. 15. The time and place of events have been accurately recorded. All such recordings are redudant for a "Maha-kavya". 16. Not much poetic description of the flora-and-fauna is given. Such description in ornate language is only used in fictional works and not while recording history. 17. Vyas mentions to have written this "itihas" after the death of King Dhrutarashtra. Why would he write so? Did Shakespeare say that he wrote "Hamlet" after the death of Hamlet himself? 18. The Greek historian Megasthenes has stated that Chandragupta Maurya was the 138 King in the lineage of Shri Krishna. This means that Shri Krishna did exist in the bygone era and that Mahabharat did really occur. 19. It was a custom to keep a track of the Kings lineage. The Chinese traveller confirms the above. Manahbharat being a true account of a occured War, such lineages are seen to be recorded. 20. Archaeological excations has discovered the submerged city of Dwaraka. This is the same Dwaraka as mentioned in the Mahabharat. [The city of Dwaraka has been reckoned to have drowned in between 2000-3000 B.C.] 21. The astronomical recordings in the Mahabharat "epic" and other scriptures (Bhagwat), given the correct positions of the planets and stars during that time. How could a work of fiction be proved using mathematical tools?
