    Epics--The Ramayana and the Mahabharata as sources of the Jat History........

    Friends,

    The Mahabharata and the Ramayana, the two epics are sources of our Ancient History. How far they come to the help of the scholars who are interested to learn about the ancient history of the Jats is the theme of the thread. Learned write ups based either on the research of the concerned person who posts them or the scholarly findings of other scholars are invited to see if we could solve some of the riddles connected with the History of the Jats?

    Kindly come forward and contribute your valuable and scholarly views, articles/write ups, information about the availability of related articles elsewhere, your comments, findings and so on.

    Thanks and regards

    Many places mentioned in Mahabharata have been testified of their presence in those days by the study of the archaeologists.

    The excavations of the ancient maunds of Hastinapur in Meerut district, five Prasthas [villages] in the present day state of Haryana demanded by the Pandavas from Dharitrastra and Duryodhan have been identified. In the same way, Dwarkika belonging to Sri Krishana has also been identified in the sea near sea shore of Gujrat. This means that Mahabharata is not completely a mythical epic, rather it contains historical narration too which must be taken into consideration after due verification.

    Archaeology is such a branch of research as has turned many myths into history and also many 'historical facts' into myths. The Epics which were considered ahistorical by many an authors are turning into a good source of historical events and people in the context of Indian history by the dint of the hard work put in by the archaeologists over the years.

    Lakshagrah in Barnawa(Dist Bagpat) is a famous spot which was mentioned in Mahabharat, if you pass by it on your way to Meerut/Haridwar from Baraut you can see the caves as well from where Pandavas are shown to have escaped.

    According to Valmiki Ramayana when Hanuman went to Lanka in search of Sita, he reached the northern extremity of Lanka and rested on the hill called Lamba covered with cocoanut and and other trees from where he saw the beautiful and well fortified metropolis of Lanka situated on the Trikuta or three peaked hill which was near the hill on which he was stopping.

    Lamba is a gotra of Jats also. Guess the connexion between the Hill name and Jat gotra name !
