The Virtue of the Ramayana
I think there's so much evidence throughout history of the reception of the Ramayana in a positive way. The poetry, the courtly life that builds up as a result of this urbanization and emergence of these great cities was valued. There are also great literary cultures from other languages of India, and indeed great works of retelling the story of Ramma in other languages too. It remains an important cultural force today, but not to the exclusion of all others.
