Have you ever heard of the great Hindu Epic, The Ramayana? Maybe you have, maybe you haven’t. But chances are, you probably don’t know of the seductress Surpanakha, sister of the King of Demons? Join us this episode as we forge into the forests of Ayodhya as we follow the story of Surpanakha, a demon woman whose actions ultimately lead to a kidnapping and major war between two kingdoms. Then listen in on our discussion as we re-envision the story from multiple perspectives, examining the roles of multiple characters and untangling the feelings and motives of a lonely woman.
**FACT CHECK: Raavan has 10 heads not 7, thanks for correcting our mistake there!**
