Description:
‘You are bound by rules, but not I. I am free to choose.'
Two thousand years ago, the poet-sage Valmiki wrote the Ramayana. It is the tale of Ram, the sun-prince of Ayodhya, who is obliged to follow family rules and so makes no choices. And of Ravana, king of Lanka, who does not respect anybody’s rules or other people’s choices.
Over the centuries, hundreds have retold the tale in different languages, adding new twists and turns. But few have noticed that the tale always depends on the five choices made by Sita.

What were Sita’s five choices?

India’s favourite mythologist brings you this charmingly illustrated retelling of the Ramayana that is sure to empower and entertain a new generation readers.

This book by Devdutt Patnaik is a brilliant book and worth appreciation.It's lucid language makes children enjoy it very much.The illustrations are very much funny/relevant to the subject and makes it more interesting and undersandable.I could'nt put this book down . The author, Devdutt Patnaik , has written this book about Sita's five choices by his perspective .It is a book all about choices and rules and whether the choices which Sita made led to trouble or not.
