There are as many as three hundred versions of our epic, Ramayana. While some of them unveil the consort of Sri Rama and incarnation of Goddess Laxmi as a docile, self-sacrificing, feminine figure, the others showcase her as a strong-headed, passionate lady. However, unlike all the versions, the Indian Tolkien: Amish Tripathi has painted his Sita in quite an unusual yet fascinating colours. Sita: Warrior of Mithila, is under no pressure to succumb to an otherwise godly image of a deity, instead, she is very close to a human figure. Inheriting all the human flaws, she treads on the path of becoming a warrior and later on the Prime Minister of Mithila, also known as the land of knowledge. Meanwhile, Sage Vishwamitra, Chief of the Malayaputras (tribes left behind by Lord Parshu Ram) and Sage Vashishtha, one of the Vayuputras (tribes left behind by Lord Rudra) are seeking an eligible candidate for the title of seventh Vishnu, who would once again bring harmony and balance by defeating the evil Lankan King Ravana. Both the former friends and the present day arch-rivals have two different candidates in their minds. One has high hopes for Sita while the other one is all set to choose either Rama or Bharat for the esteemed title. The story not only focuses on the creative retelling of the widely read Epic in the country but also highlights quite a few social evils that are prevailing in the contemporary time such as that of female infanticide and poverty and also provides a concrete rational solution to them. Some of the most underrated characters have been thoroughly modified like the character of Sita’s mother Sunaina, a North- Indian Princess married to King Janaka. King Janaka himself, Hanuman and Jatayu (known as Nagas). The philosophic narration of the author also imparts some valuable lessons in understanding our society and culture. So, as the first book explored the life of Rama, the second and third revolve around tales of Sita and Ravan respectively, before all the three stories merge into the fourth book which will carry them together in one single story.
