Sita : Warrior of Mithila
We accept
India, 3400 BCE. India is beset with divisions, resentment and poverty. The people hate their rulers. They despise their corrupt and selfish elite. Chaos is just one spark away. Outsiders exploit these divisions. Raavan, the demon king of Lanka, grows increasingly powerful, sinking his fangs deeper into the hapless Sapt Sindhu. Two powerful tribes, the protectors of the divine land of India, decide that enough is enough. A saviour is needed. They begin their search. An abandoned baby is found in a field. Protected by a vulture from a pack of murderous wolves. She is adopted by the ruler of Mithila, a powerless kingdom, ignored by all. Nobody believes this child will amount to much. But they are wrong. For she is no ordinary girl. She is Sita. Continue the epic journey with Amish's latest: A thrilling adventure that chronicles the rise of an orphan, who became the prime minister. And then, a Goddess. This is the second book in the Ram Chandra Series. A sequel that takes you back. Back before the beginning.

I am amazed to see how you have broken so many myths and superstitions in your book. I am glad someone took the right step. I am just curious, that how no one has created any controversy yet!

Here, finally, is the story of Sita for which I (among, no doubt, a whole raft of feminists) have yearned. Although I enjoyed Amish's Siva stories, he seemed to have taken on a far more difficult task with hisÂ
Ram Chandra series
. How, I had wondered, was he going to handle the story of a prince so high-minded and dutiful that he does things totally inimical to the modern sensibility. Even more challenging would be the story of Sita who willingly follows her husband into exile and then, after being kidnapped by Raavan, accepts rejection by her husband on her return.We don't get her entire story just yet as Amish has planned a series of four 'hyperlinked' multi-linear narratives telling separately the stories of Ram, Sita, and Raavan from their individual births up to the kidnap. The fourth book in the series will, presumably, finally knit these three strands together by way of a denouement.
While the essential story would be familiar to most Indians, I am very pleased to say that Amish gives us a Sita far removed from the demure, duty-bound creature of numerous syrupy text and screen versions, far removed it has to be said from Valmiki's original story which depicted both Ram and Sita in far more nuanced and human fashion
The characterisation is superb, allowing Ram and Sita to appeal to a cynical, questioning reader without losing any of the divinity that the versions springing from Tulsidas's version has conferred on them. The most fascinating part for me, a Malayali, lay however in Sita's travels to Agastyakootam, the home of the mysterious Malayaputras, deep inside present day Kerala and as difficult to get to today as it would have been for Sita in her time.
Happy with the product. Book pages, printing quality and hardness are great. Thank you to the writer and the publisher for an excellent book.
Other than the fold in first page every thing else is perfect.
Well written and hyperlinked. I liked how mythical figures/gods have relatable feelings. Also liked the climax to keep going. I liked this part more than first part and hoping 3rd part to be more excited
