Dinesh Sheth's letter about the number of letters he has written or had published was, in my humble opinion, ill advised especially he appeared to have a "dig" at Rudy Otter! Besides that, it is not the quantity but the quality and articulation of the points in the letters that is more relevant. Sorry Mr Sheth but self congratulations is rarely a good idea.
Rudy Otter's very dignified riposte was succint and to the point! Dr Hari Desai's previous articles have given me a better understanding of the historical context. His latest article on the history of Lohanas was enlightening for me.
The historical references to Rama (one of King Dasharath's 4 sons) during the Suryavanshi period suggests that the story of "Ramayana" may not be as mythological as portrayed in some writings but has a basis in historical records. Perhaps a call for more research of this period in history to discover more? Also interesting to discover was the fact that the kingdoms of the Lohana Kshastriyas rulers extended to present day Afghanistan and Iran.
There is more in humanity's shared histories/origins and yet we tend to focus of humanity's differences!
