When viewers discovered that the serial would not cover the final book of the Ramayana, workers all over the country went on strike until the government sponsored Sagar to finish it.
1 Churches rescheduled services and trains waited at stations while commuters and officials alike stopped to watch Ramayan, regarding the viewing as an act of worship. Its appeal became especially evident between 19 when, at 9:30 a.m., the Indian nation would come to a standstill as people everywhere gathered to watch Ramanand Sagar's state-sponsored television serial, Ramayan, based on the Ramayana. It has also resurfaced repeatedly in films, the visual arts, comic books, mass-produced calendars, and television serials. It is taught in most schools and, as a result, there is hardly a child or adult not conversant with the epic. My uncle's reference to a character from the Ramayana on as momentous an occasion as a wedding was not surprising the Ramayana pervades the cultural consciousness of India and much of Asia and its popularity has not waned over the centuries. He continued that her dharmic (ethical) duty as a wife was to be like Sita, the idolized female protagonist of the ancient Hindu epic, the Ramayana (circa 300 BC) Sita famously worshipped her husband as a god, devoting herself completely to his needs. Seven years ago, during his son's wedding feast in India, my uncle advised the new bride that she should not begin eating before her husband did.
