Description

This is my new series in which I read a hindi epic Rashmirathi which was written by The NATIONAL POET Ramdhari Singh Dinkar in 1952. Rashmirathi (Rashmi: Light (rays) Rathi: One who is riding a chariot (not the charioteer))The work is centered around the life of Karna, who was son of unmarried queen Kunti (Pandava's mother) in the epic- Mahabharata. It is one of the most appreciated works of Dinkar apart from "Kurukshetra" and one of the classics of modern Hindi literature.[2] Mauritian cultural activist Leela Gujadhur Sarup has translated Rashmirathi into English. Stay tuned with me for the new and fresh episodes........
