If you’re not aware of Ramayana, you can’t be a Bharatiya. This happens to be the fundament of national identity in this landmass of Bharat or Jambudvipa. From time immemorial, tales of Ramayana have been captivating the Indian mind and would continue to do same in the centuries to come. Brushing aside linguistic or regional barriers, it has been the choicest blessing for both the readers and listeners. What’s most interesting is that apart from the original version of Sage Valmiki, there are loads of regional versions of ‘Ramayana’ ranging from Tamil Nadu through the Hindi heartland to Bengal, esteemed highly. But still there is a growing need to impart the virtues of Ramayana in the Indian society.
