Sinhalization of Ravan in Sri Lanka
There is a Sinhalization of Ravan in Sri Lanka. Sinhalses nationalists think that Tamils in Srilanka are foreigners. There is not a single place named in Srilanka after Ram or Vibhishan. All places are with the first compound of Ravana or Sita. I discuss this in this article.
Here Half Christian Congress and Prakash Karat push Karunanidhi for Ravanaization of India.
Here trio Left DMK and Christian Congress want to ruin Ram Sethu. Do these fake seculars want to say that Hindus in India are foreigners?
Should Hindus and Hindu org be sunk in the sea?

Rava
“As long as the mountains and rivers will exist on the earth, the legend of Rama (i.e. Ramayana) will continue to be narrated amonmg the people.”
The Ramayana of Valmiki 1.2.34

Who wants to teach Rome-ayan/ Marx-ayan/ Ravanayan?
Karunanidhi, Karat and Sonia Gandhi are Anti-Ram. It means they follow Ravan. So what does mean the demolition drive at the birth place of Ravan? Will UPA shift its capital at its god Ravan’s birth place? Who wants to teach Rome-ayan/ Marx-ayan/ Ravanayan instead of Ramayan? Who will burn Ram Sethu instead of Ravan’s effigy? Is acceptance of Ramdrohi Central and States Governments sin or Punya?

Sonia Gandhi’s Christian lobby and Nepali Maoists have become hotbeds of Christian activities
Sandhya Jain in the Daily Pioneer newspaper rightly said: "While second-in-command Baburam Bhattarai and his family are openly Christian, Prachanda does not proclaim his religious affiliations but his wife's entire family is Christian. His guru, Chandra Pradesh Gajurel, was a Christian preacher. Sources estimate that the 42,000-strong Maoist army would be 30 per cent Christian, but the cadres are kept in the dark that the top leadership is predominantly Christian."

“85-year-old Achuthanandan, though the first Marxist Chief Minister to climb the Sabari hills, had come back without worshipping the deity at the sanctum sanctorum.“ Is this a religion of Left to insult Hindus and their Gods?
What type of atheists are these Maoists and so called democratic Left?

Reality of Ram Sethu in Sri Lanka
There is abundance of folklore in Ceylon connected the story of Rama and Sita. Some of these explain place names; some points to special geographical feature; others the lay of the land, the position of hills, nooks, and bend in rivers, color of the soil and various curiosities. All this is folk-lore. Author K Krishnamoorhty with other co-authors described this in their book “Critical inventory of Ramayana studies in the world”
There are some places with first compound of Ravana or Sita associated with the Ramayana in Sri Lanka.
Galle harbour in the South-west of Sri Lanka is a place as per missionary’s Latin idiom ‘Bona vista’ good view. All kinds of herbs are found in the hill of it.

Unawatuna
Ramayan explains that during the Rama Ravana War, Lakshman, Rama's brother, was wounded and became senseless. Rama asked Hanuman to go there and bring the necessary herbs. Hanuman complied but was unable to identify the desired herbs; in desperation, he grabbed a whole chunk of the mountain and brought it back to Lanka, dropping a piece off on the Southern tip. This place came to be called “Onna- wetuna”, which in Sinhalese means “there it fell”, and gave rise to the place name Unawatuna.
That is the legend of Unawatuna, but now for the mystery. Yes, something did fall there in prehistoric times, not on the land, but 100km away from Unawatuna in the sea. It has caused a huge deep pit into which the whole island of Sri Lanka seems ready to slide.
Sir Arthur Clarke has noted in one of his books that whatever fell is still there and disturbing the gravitational field of the earth. It is labeled Terran Gravitc Anomaly I, 110 metres below the zero reference on the Goddard Space Flight Centre’s 3 D map of the Earth’s Gravimetric Geoid
Rhumassala-Kanda
The piece that dropped off is known as Rhumassala-Kanda, a hill which looks quite out of place on the natural flat landscape of that region. It is, coincidentally, a natural pharmacy of medicinal herbs. 90% of this hill Rhumassala-Kanda is still rich with the life saving herbs.
Seeing that Hanuman was coming from Himalayas in the north, and when he passed over Sri Lanka, he would have been going southwards; and thus it is interesting to note that those local folk, also would have taken lanka to be South of Simhala just as the classical Sanskrit poets and dramatists, such as Murari, and Rajashekhara did. Or was it simple coincidence? (Godakumbura Sahitya, Sept 1975
Place names after Ravana or Sita
Folklore relating to Ravana of Srilanka and Sita in captivity in his city has provided the occasion in Sri Lanka for creating place names, or for attributing fanciful etymologies to existing ones. Thus the South East of the Coast of Sri Lanka, about six nautical miles off the shore, is two rock cliff formed islets
And they are known to the outside world as the ‘Great and Little base. They are in Sinhalese Maha Ravana Kotuva or (Kotte) and the Kuda-Ravana-Kotuva or (Kotte).
According to the popular meaning the names signify the large fortress of Ravana and small fortress of Ravana.
So also we have near Badulla in the hill country a high fall in a stream called
Ravana-alla, the Ravana falls, where Ravana had his bath.
Two other names of villages near Kandy are Udu-Ravana and Yayi-Ravana. Yet the recent popular etymology is that thery are parks of Ravana. Udu-Ravana and Yayi-Ravana, are the upper and lower royal forests or parks (Raja vana).
There are place names, now pronounced and also written with the first member of the compound Sita, such as Sita-vaka, a royal seat in the later fifteenth and early sixteenth century near the modern town of Avissavella. The late traditions are that Sita in her exile bathed at the bend of the river (Vaka) which is a tributary of the Kelaniganga.
There is also Sita Eliya near the hill health rsort of Nuvara-eliya. Also in the hill country are Sita-gangula and Sita-alla. Sita-gangula is a broad pond like spot in a stream. Sita-alla is a fall in a stream, both near Nuvara-eliya. These are also said to be bathing spots of Sita.
Sita-eliya is a open space, a patina land near Nuvava-eliya, and here the ground being black due to strata of patina gross rotting yearly is pointed out as the result of the burning by Hanuman.
It is clear that in these cases first member of the compound was Sita, meaning cool or cold, and was later associated with Sita. Except the name of Sita-vaka, the rest are of modern modification.
Early English writers in Ceylon were much enamoured with the idea that Ceyon was the home of Ravana.
It must also be pointed out here that there is no place name with Rama used as the member of a compound. One may explain that it was due to his not being long in Lanka. But what was of Vibhishana? The association of places with Ravana and Sita, are very late, and this is after the Sinhalses accepted Ravana as an ancient giant king of their island.
