Powerranger,

You got it all wrong-- neither I am a pujari (a bona fide investment banker now, just after a graduate school), nor am I giving 'proof' of what is essentially a faith.

Whatever your purpose, your one liners don't serve it. Mahabharata is an epic, and we were discussing about its veracity. Hinduism is a faith, not Mahabharata. It is just an integral part of Hindu life.
