The infinite story. Appendices. Bibliography. Index. The story of the Ramayana is well known in all Indian languages and Hindi literature is no exception to it. It has a long and rich tradition based on Ramkatha that through the centuries has challenged many authors. The main aim of this work is twofold. Firstly it seeks to analyse the development of the Ramayana tradition in Hindi literature from the perspective of its most important achievements against their historical background and socio cultural context. Secondly it attempts to examine the relationship between the story i.e. Ramkatha as told by different authors and Ram the protagonist of the Ramayana who functions as a cultural hero and serves as model of right behaviour for the others and at the same time appears to be one of the most important factors in the continuing popularity of the tradition. The volume opens with an introduction that outlines the diversity of the Ramayana tradition in India beginning with the first known Ramayana ascribed to the sage Valmiki. It discuses later developments in Sanskrit and vernacular literatures as exemplified by their best achievements originating from Hindu Buddhist and Jaina contexts. It also considers the implications of all these works for the unfolding of the tradition in Hindi. In its closing portion the volume provides an overview of the growth of the cult of Ram in North India. This is an indispensable volume for scholars of Hinduism and North Indian cultural life. 320 pp.
