Re: Ramayana- A Real historic narration?
Ramayana is an itihAsic presentation of jnAna yoga - seven chapters allegorically narrating the seven bhUmika-s of jnAna yoga ( vide varAha upanishad), namely, shubeccha, vichAraNa, tanumAnasi, sattvapatti, asaMsakti, padArta bhAvana and turya. vAlmiki is the theory of jnAna yoga itself and Ramayana is his own autobiography on Self Realization. The characters you find in Ramayana are one's encountered by vAlmiki during his yogic progress.
