Study of religions was never encouraged or promoted by teachers or parents. They all focused and forced to participate in rituals without understanding . Faith with conviction suffered.

Speaking of the saga of Ramayana, the kingdom of Janak is said to have originated from Village Janer in present day Moga. This is the folk Lore, which does make sense actually. After Sita Mata left Ayodhya, she is supposed to have settled in Ram Tirath in Amritsar. Subsequently Lahore was named after Luv & Kasur after Kush. And the general area is close to Janaks Kingdom too. Though most people & texts refer to Mithila as Janaks kingdom . Why would she leave Mithila to settle so far off? However one theory can be that Raja Janak might have held titles to Janer too.
