Publisher's summary
Peace brings us together. It is a concept that is spread around the land, around the world, a concept that can be destroyed in mere moments. Wars have begun over many things - love, betrayal, ego, the need to create an immortal legacy.... This is the story of the great war of Madra, a war begun over the simplest of things - a horse race.

Story
The story of the Ramayana had been told innumerable times. The enthralling story of Rama, the incarnation of God, who slew Ravana, the evil demon of darkness, is known to every Indian. And in the pages of history, as always, it is the version told by the victors that lives on. The voice of the vanquished remains lost in silence. But what if Ravana and his people had a different story to tell? The story of the Ravanayana had never been told. Asura is the epic tale of the vanquished Asura people, a story that has been cherished by the oppressed outcastes of India for 3,000 years.
