India is the land of stories. It’s beyond mere gossips, novels and films. Here stories went on to become religion and shaped the entire culture.

In the current time, however, feature films have undoubtedly become the most popular mode of story telling. And in Bollywood, Tamasha is so far the best explanation of Stories around the world. “Kya fark padta hai Lanka tha ya Troy?

Every civilization, from Greece to India, produced some great stories. While they had Iliad and Odyssey, we had Ramayana and Mahabharata. Over a period of time, these stories have been written and rewritten. There are countless versions of Ramayana and Mahabharata, with twists and turns, not just in India but outside as well. As the History suggests, even these epics themselves were not how they exist today. Written way back in Gupta period, over the centuries these books have been added with numerous ‘shlokas’ which definitely were not the part of the original collections.
