POINT OF VIEW
The historical background, the personages involved, the tragedies and the triumphs associated with the city will always remain fresh in the minds of Indians. The main reason may be the religious dimension acquired through the story of Rama. But even without the religious link, Ayodhya has a certain fascination, or shall we say greatness, built into it.
This explains the continuing involvement of Rama in our everyday activities. This month, the Bangalore International Centre is releasing a book, The Multivalence of an Epic, with “a historically informed discussion on the journey and localisation of the Ramayana across land and seas.” Participating in the discussion are JNU Professor h S Shiva Prakash, dancer Madhu Nataraj, European Studies specialist Neeta Inamdar, former foreign secretary Nirupama Rao, Delhi University Professor Parul Pandya Dhar and Hyderabad University’s history Professor Suchandra Ghosh.
