No epic has touched the hearts and minds of millions like the Ramayana. Its universal appeal has inspired countless storytellers across the Indian subcontinent for centuries. From Jain poets to Bhavabhuti, from Kamban to Goswami Tulsidas, each has retold the story of Rama in their own unique language and style, adding their own flavor to this timeless tale.
Despite the Ramayana being beloved and well-known, several intriguing questions linger:
- How did Rama’s childhood and youth shape him into the person he became?
- Was his decision to go on vanvas purely out of obedience to his father, or was there more behind it?
- What was the true nature of the relationship between Rama and Seeta?
- Is the Ramayana inherently misogynistic, given its portrayal of characters like Seeta, Shurpanakha, Kaikeyi, and Tara?
- What ultimately led to the downfall of Ravan?
In Ramayana Unravelled, Ami Ganatra delves into these key concerns, guiding readers through the epic’s events and shedding light on the reasons the Ramayana continues to be cherished to this day.
