Is Lanka located in Madhya Pradesh?

Many people are convinced that the Ramayana they saw on television is history, and that Sri Lanka is Ravana’s Lanka, and that Karnataka is Sugriva’s Kishkinda. This is reaffirmed by pilgrim spots in Nashik (from where Sita was abducted), Hampi (where Ram met Hanuman), and Rameshwaram (from where Ram’s bridge was built), and the many tourists spots in Sri Lanka identified as Ravana’s palace and even Ravana’s airport. Considering the enormous violence associated with Ayodhya, the birthplace of Ram, it is best not to argue. Evidence does not matter. Faith - and politics - triumphs.
For those who value science, and so respect evidence, information found in the oldest Sanskrit text of the Valmiki Ramayana is full of curiosities.
