Reading Notes: Narayan's Ramayana Part A


Bibliography:
R. K. Narayan's Ramayana, link to Reading Guide A.

p.7 Changing Rama to a girl and having Lakshmana being the favorite son to explain the kings insistence that Lakshmana go with Rama and Vishvamitra to battle the demons.

(Vishvamitra asking king to let him take Rama to fight the demons.  Image source: Wikipedia)


p.20 The story of Ahalya is fascinating but I'm still thinking of a way to change it, make it more creative... more on this later.

p35  It would be interesting to do the back story behind why Dasharatha owes Kaikeyi two promises, resulting in Rama not becoming king.
