Historicity of ‘Ramayana’ and ‘Mahabharta’

I am writing this post after a heated argument with some of my friends on existence of ‘Ramayana’ and ‘Mahabharta’. I did some research and so writing this post based on conclusion derived from my readings. I will be happy to accept any mistakes or unsupported arguments. It’s just my perception made after reading and can be changed if you can furnish some facts and logics. I will be largely writing on Mahabharta as text on internet could be found on that only. Note: My take here is that I ‘doubt’ the existence of ‘Mahabharta’ and so furnishing some text on that. I believe, all these epics have been imagined, or an exaggerated version of some battle (as both Ramayana’ and ‘Mahabharta’ are built around battle), written by great scholars to influence the forthcoming generations. Please do not debate on irrelevant topics by giving absurd examples, but if you do have a fact then do share it. 1. Battle of ten kings: There was a mention about a battle of ten kings from different tribes
