Indian government says Hindu God Ram was a fake.

[b]Hindus have been worshipping an imaginary God.[/b]

There is no evidence that Ram was ever around.

No, he's just a bit shy. Seriously, the BBC report you linked says this:
[quote][b][size=16]Report on Hindu god Ram withdrawn
[/size]
The Indian government has withdrawn a controversial report submitted in court earlier this week which questioned the existence of the Hindu god Ram.[/b] [/quote]
It doesn't say the god itself is being withdrawn.

[/quote]You're thinking of Hanuman (or possibly the monkey from Journey to the West, the Chinese classic, or Monkey, the related TV series, or Monkey:Journey to the West, the related Damon Albarn musical). Ram is also known as [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rama]Rama[/url].
