Sita's Ramayana

Sitaâ_Ts Ramayana shifts the point of view of the Ramayana â_" the saga of a heroic war â_" to bring a womanâ_Ts perspective to this timeless epic. Narrated by the heroine Sita, it is a powerful meditation on the fate of women, as they become pawns in the wars between men and kingdoms. But Sita is not just a patient victim of events â_" she endures her fate with fortitude, until the moment she decides to challenge it.

The book unites two women from very different backgrounds: young urban writer Samhita Arni collaborates with Patua scroll artist Moyna Chitrakar.
