Sita is the second book in the Ramchandra Series by Amish.Amazing Book! Finished it in about 4 days, kept me gripped from the start. The story is interwoven with the first book in the series, you will recognise some of the plot if you have read book 1, but keep at it, as it all eventually makes sense.Spot the plot give away in the first paragraph of the book.Cannot wait for books three and four.

Finally today, "Sita - Warrior Of Mithila " was delivered to me and I started the book in the evening and wrapped it in a single sitting. The plot launched with Sita's fighting spirit while her abduction but after the initial chapter, the story went back to the making of Sita as the warrior princess. And before I write further, let me get one thing clear: Ram Chandra Series is delineated on the epic Ramayana, and major anecdotes are taken from it but Amish, as we expect, have weaved a world of fantasy on the basis of that outline.Subsequent floods had changed the course of river Gandaki, which earlier flows from Mithila, and the rains also failed which caused huge economic damage to Mithila. But Mithila's loss was Sankashya's gain. Mithila was ruled by a devout and spiritual man named Janak who was married to a pragmatic woman Sunaina while the kingdom of Sankashya was ruled by Janak's younger brother Kushadhwaj. But the woes like rainfall failure make the Kushadhwaj rose in stature as the de facto representative of the clan of Mithi. After seeking the blessings of Kanyakumari, Child Goddess, Janak and Sunaina came across a quaint scene. An injured vulture was surrounded by the pack of wolves and watching this unfair act of aggression, Sunaina spurred her horse to protect the bird and from some distance that the vulture was protecting a baby from the pack of the wolves. Goading her horses into a fierce gallop, Sunaina pressed forward to protect the child and the vulture. Sunaina's arrival scared the wolves to run away and with approval from Janak, that abandoned child was named Sita because she was found in a furrow in Mother Earth and raised as the princess of Mithila. Unlike other princesses, Sita was made to study not just science and philosophy but also learned martial arts and warfare combat. Later Sita was nurtured as the person who will play a crucial role in making India the brightest nation again. And in her quest to complete her mission, she chose Ram as her partner. Sita ruled with pragmatism while Ram stuck to the laws. In sita, Ram found an "Ardhangini ", a life partner who wishes to bring glory to India.As written above, the Amish has re-introduced Sita by highlighting evils that are dwelling in our society against woman. For instance the following conversation between Sunaina and Janak, "Sunaina looked at her husband and smiled as she caressed the baby's head. 'How can anyone abandon a child like her ?' Janak Sighed. 'Many People are not wise enough to count life's blessing. They keep focusing instead on what the world has denied them '", depicts the unfortunate truth of Indian societies in which Girl child are abandoned. Although many women have achieved what men failed to but in some societies girl child is still considered as an ill omen and Amish has rightly depicted how a girl child is a blessing. Apart from raising the tacit issue that Woman should be treated equally, Amish has bolted anecdotes that remind the citizens of their individual duties towards the Nation. In our urban society, there is a very common myth that poor are usually bad and avaricious people but Amish has bolted some logical words that will make readers understand why and how, many times, a poor man is forced to be indulged in crime. "The Criminals among the rich are mostly driven by greed. One can negotiate with greed. But the criminals among the poor are driven by desperation and anger. Desperation can sometimes bring out the best in a human being. That's why the poor can often be noble. But desperation can also bring out the worst. They have nothing to lose.......But we should not be blind and assume that all poor are noble. Not everyone has the spirit to keep their character strong when their stomachs are angry. " said Sunaina while giving governing lessons to her daughter, Sita. The bitter relationship between Vashishta & Vishwamitra, as well, keeps the plot completely gripping part from the philosophical talks that are mentioned above.
