¿amb¿ka and the R¿m¿ya¿a Tradition

This book details the developmental history of narratives that affirm, condemn, modify, or ignore the controversial execution of ¿amb¿ka, a minor R¿m¿yäa character of low social standing. Changing socio-political sentiments throughout Indian history have forced numerous revisions to the ¿amb¿ka story, placing it in an underappreciated position of influence.
