Sita: Warrior of Mithila (Ram Chandra #2)
India is beset with divisions, resentment and poverty. The people hate their rulers. They despise their corrupt and selfish elite. Chaos is just one spark away. Outsiders exploit these divisions. Raavan, the demon king of Lanka, grows increasingly powerful, sinking his fangs deeper into the hapless Sapt Sindhu.
Two powerful tribes, the protectors of the divine land of India, decide that enough is enough. A saviour is needed. They begin their search.
An abandoned baby is found in a field. Protected by a vulture from a pack of murderous wolves. She is adopted by the ruler of Mithila, a powerless kingdom, ignored by all. Nobody believes this child will amount to much. But they are wrong.
For she is no ordinary girl. She is Sita.
Continue the epic journey with Amish’s latest: A thrilling adventure that chronicles the rise of an orphan, who became the prime minister. And then, a Goddess.
This is the second book in the Ram Chandra Series. A sequel that takes you back. Back before the beginning.
If thinking out of box is an art, Amish is definitely Picasso of it.Entire India idolizes Sita, and women of India are reminded time and again to be pure, devoted and all-suffering like Sita.Amish's sita has got an aura of self-respect and confidence for herself. Sita is neither a silent martyr nor she is a victim. Loved the entire plot!Looking forward to read more about the orphan of Aryavarta.
What an amazing book. Waited so long for this book. As always book Amish's books are very interesting. Book started with a suspense which will be uncovered in Raavan (next book). I found this book better than previous one. I don't know why some readers are comparing with other version of Ramayana. This book is Amish's interpretation of Ramayana. The author has exemplary built the structure of linear story-telling, linking incidents from the 'Scion of Ikshvaku', and running both the books
"Many in the latter-day Bharat society despised soldiers. Every action of the army was vehemently criticised. Any form of violence, even dharmic violence, was opposed.""Society has foolishly decided to hate its Vaishyas. They see businessmen as criminals and thieves. The fact is that while a few businessmen may be crooks, most Vaishyas are hardworking, risk-taking, opportunity-seeking organisers. If they do not prosper, then society does not produce wealth.

Okay, why did I even start this book in the first place? Because I got a free copy of this book and the cover was so tempting that I just thought of giving it a try. My Bad! Usually, I refrain from reading interpretation on our great epics but I thought with a bit of open-mindedness I can at least try this out as some fantasy-fiction with no connection to the epic. I kept reminding myself throughout that the Sita in this story is just another character and not Ramayanas Sita but I failed
Modern Depiction of a great mythological history! Thoroughly enjoyed.
Modern retelling of age old mythology in the point of view of women is a concept I am quite intrigued with. It takes a lot to botch it for me and Amish did it. With subpar writing that has been lifted cleanly from the first book and the most cliched "twist", I am beginning to wonder why am I torturing myself like this.

Twisting the delicate fabric of an epic and then writing it down to suit the modern times is a tough task. But Amish Tripathi has always been brilliant in this genre. In his recent novel, Sita: Warrior of Mithila, he has yet again given a new life and meaning to a celebrated character of Ramayana. In the prequel of the book, Scion of Ikshvaku, Amish was not able to convince the audience that much. Has Sita done that job?Since the beginning of time, Sita has been celebrated as an ideal wife, oneIf thinking out of box is an art, Amish is definitely Picasso of it.Entire India idolizes Sita, and women of India are reminded time and again to be pure, devoted and all-suffering like Sita.Amish's sita has got an aura of self-respect and confidence for herself.
