This book details the developmental history of narratives that affirm, condemn, modify, or ignore the controversial execution of ÅšambÅ«ka, a minor RÄmÄyaṇa character of low social standing. Changing socio-political sentiments throughout Indian history have forced numerous revisions to the ÅšambÅ«ka story, placing it in an underappreciated position of influence.
