	Hanumanji, His Vanars And His Lanka by Parvez Dewan
	Price : Rs 995.00
	Your Price : Rs 995.00

The story of SrA® RA¢m and HanumA¢n jA® has been subjected to much distortion”and malign political abuse. During the British Raj”mainly in the 1800s”divisive theories were floated to the effect that the North Indians were Aryans and the South Indians and Sri Lankans were Dravidians. The story of SrA® RA¢m ”The RA¢mA¢yan”was sought to be shown as a conflict between the two. The VA¢nars were portrayed as a primitive tribe, if not as monkeys. In view of the mistreatment of The RA¢mA¢yan, this book asks Who was HanumA¢n jA®? Who were the VA¢nars? Were they monkeys? Or were they a primitive tribe? Or neither? Where was KishkiA±dhA¢ ? In Karnataka? Where was Ravan`s Lanka? Is it the same as modern Sri Lanka? Who were the RA¢kshases? Were they what we now call Dravidians? Did they speak a Dravidian language? Were they all evil, if not demonic as well? Were they dark skinned? And what kind of a person was RA¢van , the king of the RA¢kshas clan? Ours is not a revisionist version of the story of Sri Ram and his devotee HanumA¢n jA®. Indeed, it is accounts that deviate from VA¢lmA®kA® ji`s RA¢mA¢yan that are.
