The book offers an anthropological perspective about the eternal values of Truth and Dharma, as the Soul of Indian Civilization, personified by Sri Ramchandra. ?Satyamev Jayate?, is the destination of this Soul inscribed on the National Emblem of India, the Lion Capital of Ashoka, from Sarnath. The book is inspired by the unwavering faith of the people of India about an ideal human personality, Sri Ram. Tagore identified him as the human, rising to the level of Divinity, and Gandhi visualized India as Ram-Rajya. Ramayan is about the empowered Sita whose high moral stature and fearless demeanour wrecked the ego of Ravan. The architectural marvels of monuments and temples, in India and South-East Asia; art, dance, drama, music and literature, across the country, indicate Indian Soul visible in various forms. This Indian anthropological book attempts to analyse Indian civilization, through the perspectives of common people about Ramayan as the fountain-head of Indian spiritual values, permeating through the history and geography of India. The book hopes to provide an agenda to Indian Anthropology to study Indian Civilization as the trunk of Banyan tree, with multiple cultures as the branches taking firm roots in the soil.
