Actually a good representation of the Uttar Kand from Ramayana. Thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

The story in this book talks about Lava and Kusha, the sons of Lord Rama. I felt very angry at the thought of the washerman insulting Rama and his wife, Sita. He told that just because she was in Ravana's captivity for a long time. She never willingly stayed as a captive, Ravana kidnapped her. I was shocked to see that the twins, Lava and Kusha even defeated Hanuman, the most powerful warrior in the vanara sena. The part where Sita steps inside the Earth was quite painful because she aldready had to undergo several tortures at the hands of Ravana and now even at the hands of the citizens of Ayodhya. Some details on Rama's death and Lava and Kusha's rule could have been added. Apart from this issue, this is a good book.

The Sons of Rama is a comic which you can finish reading in less than 1 hour. This comic showed that King Rama was stuck in a dilemma and he had to either choose his wife or his people. He had to do so because of what the launderer had said. So, banishing his wife whom he loved passionately to a forest was a heartbreaking choice for him. His wife gave birth to twin sons Luv and Kush and both sons grew up with their mother. They used to reside in a hermitage and Maharishi Valmiki used to teach both the sons. The sage facilitated both of them in mastering archery. What events followed after that are available in this comic.

Disrespectfully, Rama was trash. Sita deserved the world. My queen.

Nail biting story!

The way that the story has been narrated is so thrilling that it keeps you hooked. You become eager to know what happens next after each scene on a page. Terrific!

Where is Hanuman in the story? Isn't he suppose to hang out with Rama's boys in the human disguise of Maruti and help out Sita? And the boys did not defeat Hanuman, as he pretended defeat because they were using Brahmastra to tie him up and Hanuman did not want to fight it with respect to Lord Brahma as he did when Meghanad (Indrajit) used it on him in Lanka.

[Krishnan Nair · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was hoping for more story than was present. I also didn't like some of the dialogues like when Valmiki said 'It was said Sita was born of the Earth. This probably was true.' I would expect Valmiki to know this.

It appears the story I read of Valmiki creating Kusha out of Kusha grass when he couldn't find Lava is not the generally accepted version. I guess that is something I learnt because of this comic.

I would have liked to see more of the story regarding how Rama's sons and him lived after Sita is gone. It was a straight-to-the-point retelling, but I would have liked more details!
