Śambūka and the Rāmāyaṇa Tradition: A History of Motifs and Motives in South Asia - Hardcover
by Aaron Sherraden (Author)
This book details the developmental history of narratives that affirm, condemn, modify, or ignore the controversial execution of Śambūka, a minor Rāmāyaṇa character of low social standing. Changing socio-political sentiments throughout Indian history have forced numerous revisions to the Śambūka story, placing it in an underappreciated position of influence.
