The Monkey King and the Demon King
Most modern Indian languages have as their first recognized composition, retelling of the Ramayana. In it, Rama is wholly divine and yet when he does these dark deeds like killing Valin the monkey king, dying Valin transforms his conversation with Rama into a kind of a discusician on the mystery of God who encompasses good and evil. It becomes a very powerful way of asking questions about what God means. And that line of critically deconstructing itself becomes a very important part of Tamil culture.
