No Laughing In Ram Rajya - Devdutt Pattanaik In the 15th century, a Sanskrit treatise came to be written known as the Anand Ramayana (Ramayana of bliss). The author did not reveal his name and claimed it was the work of Valmiki, the original re-teller of the Ramayana. It was composed to compensate for the inadequacies of the earlier Shok Ramayana (Ramayana of sorrow), full of separation and loneliness. In Anand Ramayana, a lot of attention is given to the glories of Ram’s rule, the Ram Rajya. A must readable story of Devdutt Pattanaik.
