Ramayan is an Epic. So no one should ask whether Ram is for real. Ramayana & Mahabharath contains the philosophy of our religion or the philosophy of the religion followed by the aryans(people)of the the early & later vedic periods. So it is not important for them to be real. There is no proof of existance of Ram. But Hindus have every right to believe that he may have existed in that period between 3300 BC to 2700 BC.
