Author Amish Tripathi Chronicles Sita As The Real Modern Woman

Amish Tripathi, author of several bestsellers that have been translated into 19 Indian languages and eight foreign ones, in an exclusive interview to NDTV talks about his new book. It is the third book in the Ram Chandra series, titled Sita, the warrior of Mithila. His version of Sita, he says, epitomises the modern woman. She is strong, fierce and suave, he says, adding, if we worship Durga, Kali and the mother goddesses, why not Sita? On curbs on creativity and the debate around nationalism, he added that the discourse on Twitter doesn't represent the Indian ethos and while several extremist views may exist, the common Indian is a liberal at heart.
