About this ebook

Ram and Ravana stand at two extreme ends of the human spectrum. From god to demon, dharma to adharma, Ram and Ravana are the biggest lessons of the Ramayana. And as far as villains go, a ten-headed demon-king is an impressive opponent. The beauty of the Ramayana is that it allows you to understand the motivations and actions of both these mighty men. After all, it is because Ravana exists that Ram is born. Without Ravana, there is no Ram. Understanding Ravana is, in fact, the key to understanding the Ramayana. And in Ravana: A Worthy Opponent, Devdutt Pattanaik offers a glimpse into the hedonistic, villanous mind of one of Hindu mythology's greatest demons. Read on to discover Ravana like never before in this straightforward account from the master of mythology himself.
