The Valmiki Ramayana Vol. 1 by Bibek Debroy
The Valmiki Ramayana remains a living force in the lives of the Indian people. A timeless epic, it recounts the legend of the noble prince Rama and his battle to vanquish the demon king Ravana.Even before he is crowned king of Ayodhya, Rama is exiled to the Dandaka forests where he is accompanied by his beauteous wife Sita and loyal brother Lakshmana. Deep in the jungle, Sita is abducted by Ravana and taken to his island kingdom Lanka, setting into motion a dramatic chain of events that culminates in an epoch-defining war. Filled with adventure and spectacle, the Ramayana is also the poignant story of a family caught up in the conflict between personal duty and individual desires. In Bibek Debroy's majestic new translation, the complete and unabridged text of the Critical Edition of this beloved epic can now be relished by a new generation of readers.Read more
Nandan Kamath (Author)
Nandan Kamath loves sport and passionately believes in its power to transform individuals, communities, nations, even the entire world. While not caught up in his lofty dreams and random thoughts, he spends his time as a Bangalore-based lawyer working with athletes, teams, federations and businesses. He is also managing trustee of GoSports Foundation, a non-profit he co-founded in 2008. Nandan is a graduate of the National Law School of India University, the University of Oxford and Harvard Law School and was a recipient of the Rhodes Scholarship. He was a national-level junior cricketer and remains most proud of his fielding exploits in the slips. Aparna Ravichandran (Author)
Aparna Ravichandran's happiest childhood memories are of the many freezing mornings and white-hot summer afternoons she spent in Jaipur, Rajasthan, training in taekwondo and honing herself into a state of near-superhuman fitness. A few years later, though, having acquired a degree in language from Fergusson College, Pune, she found herself dabbling in language services at Robert Bosch India Limited. She then rediscovered the joy of playing and watching sport during her master's year at Loughborough University, UK. Aparna joined GoSports Foundation in 2015, in the ardent hope that her work would help to retain talented Indian athletes in the system, help them go on to unlock their full sporting potential and inspire others to follow in their wake. She fills her spare time with some slow running, bursts of angry writing and largely uninspired cooking.
