Story
India, 3400 BCE. A land in tumult, poverty and chaos. Most people suffer quietly. A few rebel. Some fight for a better world. Some for themselves. Some don’t give a damn. Raavan. Fathered by one of the most illustrious sages of the time. Blessed by the Gods with talents beyond all. Cursed by fate to be tested to the extremes. A formidable teenage pirate, he is filled with equal parts courage, cruelty and fearsome resolve. A resolve to be a giant among men, to conquer, plunder and seize the greatness that he thinks is his right.

Story
The story of the Ramayana had been told innumerable times. The enthralling story of Rama, the incarnation of God, who slew Ravana, the evil demon of darkness, is known to every Indian. And in the pages of history, as always, it is the version told by the victors that lives on. The voice of the vanquished remains lost in silence. But what if Ravana and his people had a different story to tell? The story of the Ravanayana had never been told. Asura is the epic tale of the vanquished Asura people, a story that has been cherished by the oppressed outcastes of India for 3,000 years.

Hi, I'm Keshav, and my life is screwed. I hate my job and my girlfriend left me. Ah, the beautiful Zara. Zara is from Kashmir. She is a Muslim. And did I tell you my family is a bit, well, traditional? Anyway, leave that. Zara and I broke up four years ago. She moved on. I didn't. I drank every night to forget her, I called, I messaged, and stalked her on social media. She just ignored me. However, that night, on the eve of her birthday, Zara messaged me. She called me over, like old times, to her hostel room 105.

The author Sri "M" is an extraordinary individual. His uniqueness lies not only in the fact that at the young age of 19 and a half, he travelled to snow-clad Himalayas from Kerala, and there he met and lived for several years with a "real-time" yogi, Babaji, but also that he should undertake such an unusual and adventurous exploration, given his non-Hindu birth and antecedents. The metamorphosis of Mumtaz Ali Khan into Sri "M", a yogi with profound knowledge of the Upanishads and deep personal insights, is born of first-hand experiences with higher levels of consciousness....

The Best Buy of all time
- By Ehsanullah Shaikh on 29-12-18
Publisher's Summary
Ram Rajya. The Perfect Land. But perfection has a price. He paid that price.
3400 BCE. India.
Ayodhya is weakened by divisions. A terrible war has taken its toll. The damage runs deep. The demon King of Lanka, Raavan, does not impose his rule on the defeated. He instead imposes his trade. Money is sucked out of the empire. The Sapt Sindhu people descend into poverty, despondency and corruption. They cry for a leader to lead them out of the morass. Little do they appreciate that the leader is among them. One whom they know. A tortured and ostracised prince. A prince they tried to break. A prince called Ram.
He loves his country, even when his countrymen torment him. He stands alone for the law. His band of brothers, his Sita, and he against the darkness of chaos.
Will Ram rise above the taint that others heap on him? Will his love for Sita sustain him through his struggle? Will he defeat the demon Lord Raavan who destroyed his childhood? Will he fulfil the destiny of the Vishnu?
Begin an epic journey with Amish's latest: the Ram Chandra Series.

The books as promised provides a new look to the story of Ramayana which we have been hearing from Cildhood.The events though have similarities to the original Ramayan but what stands out the context has been changed to provide a refreshing new vision to the story

Average story with animated narration
The story line is average and as expected. It's the same genre as in shiva trilogy and there is nothing new to offer, felt the latter was better. In my opinion, Amish has to probably reinvent himself. And it's a brave attempt at a different style of narration but seemed to be animated at many occasions. The attempts to uplift the impact of the narration by changing the tone is so often counter productive. Overall an average story, an average setting with narration as the lowlight.

Phenomenal.
I have been Amish's fan since Immortals of Meluha.
And this is another fascinating book. I have read this book, but the audible gave my exquisite imagination of Ram, Sita and Laxman vivid colors.
Amish has admirable good writing and imagination.

Listening Ramayan again with some twists
The story is almost same as the original Ramayan, but with some small twists in the story...
The narration was very good, you can feel the emotion for every dialogue...
I'll not recommend this story to those who love to explore fresh stories as this story is 90% of original Ramayan with 10% of changes..

Must read Book of Amish
First of all I like Raavan character and I really want to see the Ramayana in Raavan's perspective. But before that I have to complete the 1st 2 books of Ram Chandra series. after completing the book I was not disappointed. It's really a good book to read. You can experience Ramayana in a modern naration apart from a typical old Ramayana which we have all seen in movies, Tv series and etc.,

changed the story to his liking and its boring
swayamvar episode was taken from mahabharata and wrote it to his liking. most of the story is modified to his liking. there were dates mentioned in the book like 7032 BC and places like Egypt, episodes like that of Dhenuka and I believe he didnt care of the credibility of the information. things that have happened already needs a thorough research before putting them on to paper. utterly ridiculous to write something in the name of creativity.

Beautiful enactment of 3000 year old script in modern language
Two reasons to read this book.
Fact one that original was written 3000 years ago is a reason enough.
Secondly that original scripture refers to another Vedic scripture predating this one by another 3000 years, shows how unlearned we are today.
