There goes a saga called Ramayana. I won't say anything about its authenticity. It's a highly esteemed religious scripture for Hindus. Well almost all of them who would be reading this blog might be knowing about Ramayana in high detail by the means of literature, parents' teachings, lessons in primary schools in India and may be through discussion with classmates and various other means.
Raavan died getting hit by Ram's arrow in his stomach where the amrit-kalash (nectar-pot) was hidden in his body. He died an asura's death who was a brilliant brahmin warrior and administrated his homeland of Lanka with great efficiency. Raavan is a brahmin in Ramayana who follows a strict brahmin ideology.
I'm not telling that Raavan was a good personality, he was a demon. His relatives were bad. In my view, it wasn't his own fault but the sister Shoorpnakha's trigger which ultimately resulted in him being killed by Ram's arrow.
Ramayana tells us that how being egoistic can blunder a person's whole life (Raavan loses his dominion, family and life) and going blindly on hearsay ruins a person's marital life (Ram sends Sita to vanvaas/hermitage) among other lessons one can take from Ramayana.
But what intrigues me is the thought that 'Is Raavan dead indeed?'
An inference I come to after an analysis of situations having passed in the past and taking place in the present day is that Raavan has not died actually.
My thoughts about why I think so are presented in the post that follows...
