#30 historical fiction 28/4/18 An orphan princess. An exiled queen. A demeaned wife. An abducted victim. A mother burnt to ashes. Her story has been famous for ages.Story of the heroine of the oldest epic Ramayan. Sita. Maithili.Janaki. The story of a woman elevated to the highest ranks of the ideal feminine. A sati. But at the cost of what? This story is based on Ramayana. But the characters r mere humans with human tendencies. Pl. don't argue these are Gods n their curses will befall me n my story☺ _____________ BACKGROUND **************** king janak of mithila was sita's father. Some accounts say sita as a daughter born to the king out of his union with the land. Some say sita as king Janak's adopted daughter found when he was ploughing. Its not difficult to read between the lines n understand exactly what he was ploughing into when he had sita. sowing wild oats and reaping the harvest.😊why would a king suddenly till land n find a child? IMO the child would have died while the ploughing happened😨 Sita is referred to as daughter of earth. Vasudha is NOT a character in ramayana. She's a tribal woman created outta my imagination.history always glosses over nasty aspects of kings.a daughter born out of a kings union with the land or earth goddess sounds metaphorical n less weird when u think of it as his child born outta wedlock with a tribal woman.Someone who wasn't a queen n whose name meant earth. Vasudha means earth.she belongs to a lower caste.sita's birth mother. This story is gonna be entirely human. No godliness or miracles exist here...which are extremely hard to rationally believe. Rama was a great king. Worshipped as a god. But he too was human after all. characters here r compelled by human motives. Some characters maybe imaginary just to fill gaps in storytelling. This story does not wish to hurt religious sentiments. It only tells the story of a woman. Where she came from..who she knew..what happened to her. Sita. JANAKI.

This book unfolds various events of Ramayana and many questions we come across. This book is based on many scriptures like Valmiki Ramayana, Adhyatama Ramayana, Ramcharitmanas, Puranas, Sita Upanishad, Ram Rahasya Upanishad, Rama Tapaniya Upanishad, Agastya Samhita, Mahabharat and much more such texts. Book seems to present some articles and answers some questions additionally throws light on various characters of Ramayana.

Sita, what does this word trigger inside you? A girl running in the forest of Mithilla? A young bride decked up and happy beside Raghukul-Bhushan Shri-Ram? A daughter-in-law and a wife leaving for exile? A women kidnapped by the demon king? A hopeful captive waiting for her Husband? A Queen carrying the child of the Monarch? A women feeding her children in a Hermitage? Lots of definitions, but no answer. In this book I shall try give my opinions and write stories on the different situations of the Women who changed Indian Literature for-ever.

Ramayana. An Indian epic that has lived through the centuries and has only grown even more in the process. An epic that shows ideal characters, many of whom we worship, and other characters from whom we learn what we shouldn't be at any cost. But one thing that has been a constant for many centuries now is the examples we give, referring to the epic. One of the most popular ones being "Be a brother like Rama." Not only is the Ramayana an enchanting tale of love and devotion, but it's also an equally magical example of brotherhood and affection. Brothers who stood with each other through thick and thin. Brothers who would readily sacrifice their life for the other. Brothers who would love the other, and support him when nobody else did. This book brings to you the Ramayana, but this time, the limelight is on the inseparable brothers. *** Disclaimer: Please do not read this book if you do not like humanization of deities. However, I can assure you that ALL relationships in this book are shown the way they're meant to be - no non-canon shipping. I can also assure you, that since I myself am a devotee of Shri Rama, that you will never have me intentionally writing anything against him, his real nature - the same goes for the others - Sita, Lakshmana, Urmila, Bharata, Mandavi, Shatrughna, Shrutakeerti, Dasharatha, the mothers... All of them will always get their due respect in this book. Secondly, I've followed the Valmiki Ramayana throughout. Some incidents may be revelations, as quite a few things are contrary to popular perception and other versions. Thank you! Fantastic cover designed by @Mochis4lifeq52627 <3

The Untold contexts left burried inside. Ramayana is an ancient Indian epic written sometime in the fifth century BCE about Rama, prince of Ayodhya who is exiled and then returns. The sage Valmiki wrote it in Sanskrit and taught it to Rama's sons, the twins Lava and Kush. It is a rather long poem, with approximately 24000 verses and is known as the Adi Kavya. (adi = original, first; kavya=poem) While the basic story is about palace politics and battles with demon tribes, the narrative is interspersed with philosophy, ethics, and notes on duty. This book states most of the facts that people are oblivious of. Cover credits- @hazelwolfx

Rama, the eldest prince of Ayodhya, along with his younger brother Lakshmana, travels with sage Vishwamitra. They learn many things during the journey. They perform many heroic deeds too. This is the first major journey from the Ramayana, the ancient epic from India, written by Valmiki

A Ramayana Retelling Sita walks back into Ayodhya not as a queen, but as a woman shaped by exile. Urmila counts the years in silence, her loyalty unacknowledged. Mandavi, always steady, finds her faith tested in a world that doesn't reward stillness. And Bharat-grief-stricken, duty-bound-must lead a kingdom while mourning a brother who was never truly gone. The Return is a reflective reimagining of the Ramayana, told not through battles and dharma, but through longing, loss, love, and quiet defiance. What does it mean to return-to a palace, to a relationship, to oneself-when everything familiar feels changed?
