One of the most popular mythology writers of our times, Amish
launched the book cover of his highly-awaited Book 2 in the Ram Chandra series
- ‘Sita-Warrior of Mithila’ today. The cover launch of this thrilling adventure
that chronicles the rise of Lady Sita was held at Title Waves Bookstore in
Mumbai. At the book cover launch, the renowned author was accompanied by
none-other-than the Bollywood Actress and Producer, Raveena Tandon.
Amish’s
new book, which revolves around Lady Sita, defies the image we have of the
Goddess and portrays Lady Sita as a feminist icon. Amish’s new book cover
perfectly captures her as a fearless warrior. A powerful Lady Sita is shown on
the book cover with her lathi, single-handedly fighting a crowd of men who have
come to abduct her.
Commenting
on the cover launch for the book, Amish said, “Ancient India witnessed a far
more equal social set-up than we have today. The cover depicts Lady Sita to be
a fearless warrior and the book will capture her journey from an adopted child
to a fierce warrior and then becoming a Goddess.”
Raveena
rightly emulates the spirit of the modern woman, who is independent and
powerful much like Amish’s Lady Sita. It is fitting that the actress graced the
event to unveil the cover of the book.
Talking
about the cover of the book, Raveena Tandon said, “In ancient India, women held
positions of power and led countries as queens and fiercely fought on the
battlefield. They enjoyed more freedom and respect from the society. It is
great to see that Amish is bringing that alive through Lady Sita and the cover
beautifully illustrates her as a true warrior.”
The
trailer launch of this much anticipated book will take place on 16th May, while
Amish’s fan will finally get a chance to grab their copies on the day of the
book launch to be held on 29th May in Mumbai. The Book 2 in the popular Ram
Chandra series, ‘Sita- Warrior of Mithila’ can be pre-ordered at:
