Let's do another round on #Ramayana questions. One never exhausts this subject, truly.

Last time, I commented on modern retellings, Rama's birthplace, English translations of Valmiki's text, Shambuka's story, and the number of versions of the story.

If you have follow-up questions or others, have at it. I'll do my best to answer the first five questions. #MastodonThread #Thread #history

@audreytruschke how does one approach talking to a person who thinks the Ramayana actually happened?
@audreytruschke how does a layperson educate another layperson on the difference between myth and reality?
