Write a 700 word essay concerning The Ramayana. Be sure to include five documented images.

TOPIC:

Think about this book as a conflict between the traditional morality of the Kshatriya – the kings and warriors – and the new, Axial Age morality of the Brahmins – the priests and gurus.
Think of the rakashas (demons), such as Ravana, as embodying the values of the traditional Kshatriya varna (color group).
Rama and his guru, Vishwamitra, although both Kshatriyas by birth, actually uphold the new values of the Brahmin varna.
(The Brahmin varna had been around for a long time, but their values changed over time.)
Why do they say that Rama’s guru was of Kshatriya birth – when most gurus were of Brahmin birth?
Develop an original argument about the relationship between Kshatriya and Brahmin in this book.
You do not have to agree with me that the rakashas represent traditional Kshatriya values.
If you would like a European comparison for this book, learn about “The Quest of the Holy Grail,” where Sir Galahad is a knight who adopted the values of the Cistercian order of monks.
The conflict between the Christian clergy and the secular aristocrats in medieval Europe resembled that between the Brahmins and Kshatriyas in India.
