RAM - SCION OF IKSHVAKU Paperback

Amish Tripathi's "Ram - Scion of Ikshvaku" plunges readers into a vividly re-imagined ancient India, specifically 3400 BCE Ayodhya, a kingdom reeling from a devastating war and crippled by the exploitative trade practices of the demon king Raavan. Amidst this despair, the people yearn for a leader, unaware that their salvation lies with Ram, a prince ostracized and misunderstood from birth. Born under an "inauspicious" star, Ram embodies unwavering commitment to law and duty, even as he faces rejection and torment from his own countrymen. This epic journey chronicles Ram's struggles to rise above the taint of his past, his enduring love for Sita, and his ultimate quest to defeat Raavan and fulfill his destiny as the Vishnu, setting the stage for the legendary Ram Rajya – the perfect land with its inherent price.
