The story of “ Rama, A God Among Humans” is about a prince named Rama who
was favored to reign on the throne of his father Dasaratha; but was banished to our world
when his evil stepmother Kaikeyi wished that her son Bharata would rein in his place . His
father could not refuse the request of his wife because he was a righteous king and this
transgression would have looked bad in the eyes of his citizens. Dasaratha died of a broken
heart after banishing Rama. Rama was sent to the forest of Dandaka where he was
estimated to have killed fourteen thousand demons in battle. His brother Laksmana
accompanied him along with Sita, “the model of a devout Hindu Wife.” Ravana, the king of
demons, hearing about the slaughter of his kin, kidnapped Rama’s wife Sita and fled to his
Kingdom of Linka. Hanuman the great monkey joined Rama in his quest to find Sita in
the Kingdom of Linka. Hanuman burned the city down, but spared Sita in his fierce
attack. Rama defeated Ravana when he travelled to the city and named Vibhisana as the
lord of the demons in Lanka after. Sadly, Rama had to banish Sita from his kingdom
because people began questioning if she had remained pure and faithful to him while
staying in the castle of Ravana. This broke Ramas heart because he knew that she was
faithful, but in order to maintain his reputation as a righteous kind he banished his wife.
