A long time ago, in the land of Lanka, there lived a demon with ten heads. Often stories began like this. First, he is made a demon. So, the rest of the story will sing the saga of his fallen demeanour. To make one a hero, you need a villain. History or myth, speculations about truth and justice have always altered with minds. The great epic Ramayana shows this altered form of reality embellished inside the shells of divinity and demonic darkness. Bhakti and divinity masked the reality in Ramayana. If we think like humans with fallacies and intellect, we may find a different reading which is not guarded by the blind bhakti.
