Historical fiction

Exiled From Ayodhya - Head Work

by Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay

Description

Much   water   has   been   muddied   where Ayodhya is concerned.

In the past three decades, Ayodhya has been the epicentre of heated political and cultural debate, culminating into probably the most important court verdict in the history of modern India. But what was Ayodhya like when the Babri Masjid was still standing? Was the meaning of the Ramayana different? A travelling journalist dips into his memories to take us through a journey of Ayodhya to trace the path of Ram's exile, to match it to existing geography. Along the way, we meet people and places, all trying to make their own meaning of what the Ramayana and its titular hero mean to them.
