Actor Bijay Anand, who will be seen playing the role of Lord Brahma in ‘Adipurush’ has revealed that it is his fourth project based on an epic tale of Ramayana.

There are various interpretations of the Ramayana. However, Jagdish has, like many other villagers, grievances about the two villages being neglected by all successive state governments to an extent that the approach road to these village has not been re-built or repaired since 1988, when it was built.Objecting to the saffron attire of waiters on board the Ramayan Express, seers from Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh on Monday said it was an insult to Hindu religion and threatened to stop the train in Delhi on December 12 if this dress code is not withdrawn. In fact, hundreds of Muslims had taken shelter in both Ramayan and Mahabharat in 2002 during those riot days,” Jagdish said.

And everybody in the village welcomed it heartily,” a 67-year-old villager, Kachrabhai Sagar, says. “Trivedi had played a major role in rehabilitating the people of these two villages and he named them Ramayan and Mahabharat. At that time, two television serials - Ramayan and Mahabharat - were quite popular. So, we were rehabilitated at this new place.

The Ramayana was composed in Sanskrit, probably not before 300 BCE. Ramayan Sarpanch Zakir Mansuri said, “In 1988, our villages - Pratapgadh and Sabli - were going to be submerged by the Gohai Jalakar Yojna, a dam project in the region. Ramayana, shorter of the two great epic poems of India, the other being the Mahabharata. On the bus routes to these villages, Ramayan is the last station and Mahabharat is the one before it. Wven the anganwadi centre in the village is known as the Anganwadi Centre of Ramayan. “So if you ride a state transport bus, the destination on the board says “Ramayan & Mahabharat”, and not Pratapgadh and Sabli.
