Who are the twins?

                                        Who are the twins?

This article is based on my knowledge of Ramayan.
King Dasharath had 3 wives , namely Kouslya , Sumitra and Kaikeyi. He had 4 sons namely Ram , Laxman , Bharat and Shatrugna. Its common knowledge that 4 sons from 3 wives that means one of them had twins . Tracking out the incidence -----------
Ram is the only one son of Kousalya .
Bharat is the only one son of Kaikeyi.
That leaves us with only one possibility . Sumitra had twins . They are Laxman and Shatrugna. My doubt is cleared . But usually people get confused that Ram and Laxman as twins. But they are brothers not twins. Laxman had full respect for Ram  that he followed him during Vanavas also.
Bharat eventhough he had crowned king in absence of Ram , he put the footwear of Ram on Simhasan and said Ram is the king. Even he had great respect for Ram. But about Shatrugna, nothing much has been said. He too must have had respect for his brother Ram.
