Tamil Nadu Transport Minister 'No Historical Record Of Lord Ram's Existence'

Tamil Nadu Transport Minister and DMK leader SS Sivasankar has sparked controversy with a statement about Lord Ram, claiming that there is no historical evidence to prove Lord Ram's existence.

Speaking at Chola Emperor Rajendra Chola's birth anniversary event in Ariyalur, Sivasankar said, "We must celebrate the birthday anniversary of our great ruler Rajendra Chola, who made our land proud. We should



celebrate his birthday; otherwise, people may be compelled to celebrate something that has no connection or evidence to them."

"To show that Rajendra Chola lives on, there are ponds constructed by him, temples built by him, and his name is mentioned in scripts, sculptures, and other artefacts. We have history and evidence for it, but there is no evidence or historical record of Lord Ram's existence.
