Abstract

Epic tradition and myths in India truly represent the history and several multi-dimensional oppressions have emerged due to these traditions which are still prevalent these days. Those epics and myths are held as the greatest example by this Indian and religious society to guide several roles of them in the Indian family system and their conduct. Hence, it wouldn’t be wrong to state that epic and mystical traditions are the basis of the predicament of women in India in a specific family system. The current study explores the mythological journey of Sita and contrasts and compares her depiction in Amish Tripathi’s “Sita: The Warrior of Mithila '' and Valmiki’s Ramayana.

Sita is more than just a female character in the Epic. She represents the journey of every Indian woman in several stages of life. The new breed of Indian English writers like Ashok Banker, Amish Tripathi, Anand Neelakantan, and Ashwin Sanghi are great experimenters. They make mythology more logical, palatable, and digestible as per the demand and taste of modern readers by experimenting with mythology.

The way society perceives mythology has changed. Juggling with mythology is creative liberty these days. Mythology is no longer a stone-carved line that cannot be changed. These writers add new flavor and connotations to the existing literature. It wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that they have improved the popularity of mythology. They have also opened new doors of research with their analysis. These days, youth has gained special interest in mythology. These novelists have introduced ancient Indian history and culture to young readers who had literally abandoned their rich culture while following western lifestyle. For example, Indian English authors like Amish Tripathi and Ashok Banker have combined fantasy and mythology. They have modernized Indian myths with this fusion. Tripathi has focused on fantasy fiction created with mythical tales. He handled mythology the traditional way and added a new outlook with a new perspective.
