To understand the stories of the esteemed mythological  heroes, we need to take in account their lives and times. This talk by Sushri Neena Rai about the wonderous Ayodhya, that has been the centre of the Ramayan, is an attempt to elucidate the same. 
Sung by Luv and Kush, composed by the Sage Valmiki - 'Ramayan' has captured the imagination of people across the world since ages. No one grows up in India untouched by the beautiful love story of Ram and Sita. Every Dushera we celebrate the victory of Ram over Ravan, victory of good over evil. Every Deepavali, one hears about the welcome of Ram and Sita back to Ayodhya, but amongst all the celebrations one hardly pays attention to the fascinating city of Ayodhya.

Rama's Ayodhya: Part-1  | Neena Rai | #SangamTalks

From a time when the Indian per capita income was higher than the British per capita income to the dubious distinction of being an extremely poor country down the millennium, the Indian economy has suffered a longstanding decline and is only now beginning its climb back upwards.
While the broad reasons impacting India’s present economic growth include exogenous factors such as the demographic dividend and global technological benefits, the key factor is the thrust by Modi government on good-governance.

As India now enters the functioning-government stage with a more rule-based economy being put in place, the tough economic decisions and market reforms undertaken by the Modi government pave the way for India’s resurgence as an economic superpower.
In his Srijan Talk on “Understanding Modinomics,” Harsh Gupta explains why he feels the Indian economy is so bullish under the Modi government.
