‘In the name of Rama’ is a fictional tale of a true devotee of Rama, a wandering story-teller who sings the
praises of Lord Rama from village to village. It is also a
deeply metaphorical love story that explores the half-truths
surrounding the Ram Janmabhoomi issue.
The story opens with the protagonist Ramasray who
has been in coma for eight years, attended by his caretaker
and beloved, Sumatiya. His inspiring story is pieced
together by the young doctor who is treating him. A story of
unusual courage and devotion, it climaxes on the day of the
destruction of the Babri Masjid.
“This book was inspired by the real story of a police
constable who stood alone at the foot of the Babri Masjid
against a swirling ocean of karsevaks,” says author Aabid
Surti. “You may call this madness... but I salute his
courage.”
