But because an idea survived long enough to witness itself reborn. What makes Lord Ram timeless is perhaps the fact that every generation interprets him differently. To some, he is God.

And maybe that is why Ramayana never truly disappears from India’s consciousness. It keeps returning. In stories. ...
