Legends of the Ramayana review: Amish Tripathi's docuseries celebrates India’s pluralist cultural heritage
FirstpostLegends Of The Ramayana is for those who delight in symbol and metaphor, and are willing to be struck by wonder even as they exercise their critical faculties. Language: Hindi, English Amish Tripathi, who has written the Ramchandra series of novels based on the Ramayana, can now be seen in a three-part documentary series called Legends of the Ramayana with Amish on discovery+. When Tripathi travels from one place to another, he meets people from various walks of life – a paleoseismologist, a member of a temple trust, an author, an Indologist, a speleologist, an aviation expert – who have devoted themselves to uncovering different aspects of the Ramayana. Even the structure and sequence of events may be the same, but the style, details, tone, and texture – and therefore the import – may be vastly different.” While Legends of the Ramayana with Amish does not acknowledge Ramanujan’s research, it does a good job of celebrating India’s pluralist cultural heritage.
