Eternal inspiration

Sir,
The article “The Great Battle of Lanka” (April 27) brilliantly revives the spirit and grandeur of the Ramayana’s epic battle. It vividly portrays the valor, discipline, and moral purpose of Ram’s army against the dark forces of Lanka. In an era where warfare often strayed into brutality, the depiction of vanars and rakshasas following codes of engagement-even during night battles-teaches modern society about courage with ethics. The steadfastness of Ram and the loyalty of his allies like Angad, Sugriv, and Vibhishan offer timeless lessons in leadership, strategy, and righteousness. The battle of Lanka symbolizes the eternal fight between dharma and adharma. In today’s world, remembering such stories strengthens our resolve to uphold truth and justice amidst growing challenges. Such retellings keep our rich heritage alive and relevant.
