An Intelligent AnalystAsura: Tale of the Vanquished | Hindi | Book Analysis & Review | Novel by Anand Neelakantan | Ravana | Rama | Ramayanaरामायण केवल बुराई पर अच्छाई या अधर्म पर धर्म की जीत की कहानी नहीं है, बल्कि एक सुखी और समृद्ध जीवन के लिए एक संपूर्ण मार्गदर्शक है। रामायण से सीखने के लिए अनगिनत सबक हैं, खासकर सर्वशक्तिमान राम से। पूरे भारत में और भारत के बाहर उनकी पूजा की जाती है। उनकी नैतिकता, शिक्षा, समर्पण और रावण के साथ युद्ध आज भी सबसे आकर्षक कहानियों में से एक है। जबकि हम सभी सर्वशक्तिमान राम के लगभग हर पहलू के बारे में जानते हैं, हम शायद रावण के बारे में इतना नहीं जानते होंगे, सिवाय इसके कि वह एक उच्च शिक्षित और विद्वान असुर था जिसके भीतर कई विशिष्ट दोष थे। रावण के प्रति आकर्षण आज बेमिसाल है और कई बुद्धिजीवियों और लेखकों ने रामायण को रावण के नजरिए से बताने की कोशिश की। आनंद नीलकंठन ने "असुर: टेल ऑफ़ द विनक्विस्ड" में भी अपनी कहानी को फिर से बताने की कोशिश की।2022-12-2308 min

Previously I did Ramayana through different perspectives such as Hanuman, Sugriv, Ravan etc. Then I had thought of summarizing and bringing forward women of Valmiki’s Ramayan. Many don’t know that Rama had an older sister Shanta. Mandodari, Kaikeyi, Manthara, Urmila and many others. It should be seen as poetry than a thriller as it has a very serene atmosphere throughout the reading. These stories come from experience.
