Recapitulation of Valmiki’s Ramayana and Ramchandra Series to Unveil the Contrasting Roles of Several Characters

Country India
Abstract Ramayana is neither a fictional tale nor a mythological story, but the core of Hindu Dharma. The text was written by sage Valmiki. It has undergone various adaptations over the time that provided fresh perspectives on contemporary narratives. While going through these texts, variations in several themes can be found such as narrative techniques, social nuances, representation of the characters, depending on the perspective of different individuals and the passage of time. Even though the Indian epics and scriptures are infinite oceans of wisdom and unsurmountable to be grasped entirely by human intellect, and needed to be churned over and over again, yet they are altered and reimagined countless times to produce a plethora of fascinating stories. At present, new Indian fiction writers have developed a keen interest in ancient texts and a new genre is introduced with a tradition of blending ancient stories with present reality. In other words, mythologies and ancient fables are no longer lines carved on the stone, that cannot be changed. These writers added their own perspective on events, which resulted in providing new connotations. The purpose of amalgamation of past and present situations is the alleviation of modern problems with the right code of conduct and learnings encoded in our epics.
