Shanta : The Story of Rama's Sister
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
Shanta is the daughter of King Dasharatha of Ayodhya, given away in childhood to the childless king Romapada of Anga and raised as his own. Her life takes shape within the court of Anga, where she grows into a woman of intelligence and resolve. Her path crosses with the sage Rishyashringa, and her story runs alongside the larger epic of the Ramayana, seen from the margins rather than from the centre where her younger brother Rama stands. Neelakantan retells the myth through the eyes of a sister who is often forgotten in the telling, exploring duty, loyalty and what it means to belong in a family that gave her away.
