The Epic That Stopped a Nation
Imagine a story so powerful that 80 million people would simultaneously stop whatever they were doing to watch it unfold on television. In the 1980s, when a serialized version of the Ramayana aired in India, streets emptied, sanitation workers went on strike demanding more episodes, and viewers ritually bathed before watching, many adorning their TVs with flower garlands. What Western narrative commands such devotion? This 3,000-year-old epic isn't merely entertainment - it's the beating heart of an entire civilization. The Ramayana's genius lies in its dual nature: simple enough for children to love its tales of exiled princes and flying monkeys, yet profound enough to explore humanity's deepest ethical questions. When Gandhi envisioned an independent India, he called it "Rama-rajya" (Rama's kingdom) - a society governed by dharma (righteousness). Far from presenting a simplistic battle between good and evil, this ancient tale forces us to confront uncomfortable questions about the costs of living a moral life, even through its seemingly perfect protagonist who repeatedly chooses duty over personal happiness.
