India--Primary Sources

In understanding Ancient India, you may find it helpful to look at some of the online adaptations/summaries of works we talked about in class. You might find useful, for instance, this Retelling of the Ramayana or this translation of the Code of Manu. Take a look at one of these sources. What do you find in this source that helps show India as a "road not taken" by Western Civilization?

This story showed how India was a road not taken because it shows how Rama was on earth. All of India was aware when he went back to heaven; to his dad Vishnu. His children, Lava and Kusa, then traveled on earth, throughout India singing about the poem about their father.
