Tulsidas

By Suresh Chandra Sharma

Book Overview

The Emperor Akbar wanted to honor him but for the poet Tulsidas no honor was greater than telling the story of Lord Rama to ordinary people in a language they understood. His rendition of Valmiki's Ramayana in Awadhi, a dialect of Hindi, was different from its Sanskrit original in many ways but such was its popularity that even today every village and town in the Hindi heartland has a troupe that enacts the story of Rama based on Tulsidas' work.
