Any discourse on Ram today is dominated either by academic analysis or political debate. In the din of these discourses, it is the discourse of love that is lost.’

Legends and myths were created by our ancestors to understand the elements of the universe and how they interact with us better. The concept of dharma was introduced through mythological characters—who either abide by it or don’t—to make the lesson more memorable. However, as time goes on, the essence of the content is lost and we’re stuck holding on to its literal symbols. Nowhere else is this more visible than the politics of Hindutva in India.

In The Politics of Ram, Devdutt Pattanaik explores the idea of Ram in modern political discourse and how it impacts the legacy of our epics in his inimitable style—with elegance and wit.
