The Rama Story: Origins and Growth (the Hindi original is Ramakathā: Utpatti aur Vikās) is a comprehensive study of all variations on the story of Rama in Indian languages and abroad. It is unique in the meticulous documentation of details regarding each character and every episode in the Ramayana along with analysis and discussion of its different recensions and all the interpolations, bringing to the fore facts that most people-the common reader as well as the learned scholar-are unaware of, particularly those not knowing Hindi.
