Camille Bulcke’s Ramakatha-Utpatti aur Vikas: An Important Reference Work for Scholars in the Field of Ramayana Studies
Abstract
It can be said that of the multiple historical and cultural threads that bind India to the countries of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), the most enduring and pervasive are those of the epic Ramayana.
For more than 1500 years, both regions have shared the ancient stories of Rama and Sita in a vibrant tradition that is alive even today. The depth and complexity of this legacy continues to be explored by a growing body of scholarship from many countries and in several languages.
Our chapter will discuss an important addition that was made to the existing field of Ramayana studies by Camille Bulcke, a Belgian scholar working in India more than 60 years ago, who documented the phenomenon of multiple Ramayanas in a monumental work of research titled ‘Ramakatha—Uttpati aur Vikas’.
