This weekend, I was strolling through landmark and found Ramayana and Mahabharatha comics in the kids section. Today the panchathantra stories are published in 36 different languages and is indeed a record. Ramayana and Mahabharatha gained so much popularity, because they were told as bed time stories by our parents and grand parents and were also published in the form of comics so that the masses can understand them.
Leaving out the great literature in PS, it still has in it enormous amount of story line in it. Why not tell PS story itself as a bed time story to our young kids and publish comics of PS. I think, this will in no way ridicule the magnum opus of Kalki.
Today a kid need not read Kamba Ramayanam or Valmiki Ramayanam to know Ramayanam (enakku innnamum Kamba Ramayanam puriyathu). They can be understood by reading these comics.
Parents of PS group, please include PS as well when you tell stories to your kids. We might in a way create new readers for PS in the future too.
Atleast when I will have a kid, I will definitely narrate PS to him / her.
