Celestial Altruist Flagbearer of Lanka: A Recountal of Amish Tripathi’s Raavan: Enemy of Aryavarta

Abstract

Mythology’s power to shape human behavior by imparting morals and values, as well as its applicability in modern contexts, guarantees its survival. Over the past few decades, there has been a significant shift in the analysis and interpretation of these myths. India’s founding mythology, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, are reimagined and transformed into a wide range of genres. Writers have always been most intrigued by the difficult work of composing and revising the epic. Indian mythology had a great deal of nuanced and flawed characters. Major and minor literary works have found inspiration in the Ramayana. The Ramayana has been told in many different ways. All other versions of Rama’s story are based on the Valmiki Ramayana, which is the most reliable telling of the story. Amish’s view on mythology as a means of addressing the problems facing the vast, culturally and traditionally rich country of India. Amish Tripathi is an Indian writer most recognised for the Ram Chandra Series and the Shiva Trilogy. Raavan: Enemy of Aryavarta (2019) by Amish Tripathi makes the case that villains are not born. These mythological subjects have always been important, remain relevant today, and will continue to be relevant in the future. The Ramchandra Series as it is told in Amish is not the same as other versions. Nowadays, mythology is popular among the masses, but they also want a rational explanation for the magical occurrences.
