Historical Rama

A Research on lord Rama's authencity with factual data described in this video. Released by Sri H.H Ravi Shankar on Ocotober 11th 2010.  
Ramayana has been an Indian legend and Rama, an Indian Hero right from very early times. Ramayana written by Valmiki gives a detailed account of the events that unfolded during the life of Rama. This story of Rama has been a part of the Indian ethos for many a millennia.
How historical is this text,
the persons in this text,
the geographical locations mentioned therein?
This text has always been classified in Indian literature as Itihaasa - meaning a historical text.
The Colonial British historians who came to shape our thoughts about 200 years back called this and other texts of India as mythological. How right were they in their branding Indian Itihaasa as mythological?

In the last decade or so, the scientific advancements that have taken place, have helped scientific historians revisit the text for historical proofs.

Bharath Gyan has researched information on Rama from a rational, scientific and logical perspective to try and understand if Rama has in reality been a historical person.
