Desde a segunda década do séc. XXI, Anand Neelakantan, Devdutt Pattanaik, Amish Tripathi, Kavita Kané e Chitra Divakaruni têm sido dos mais consagrados e bem-sucedidos autores contemporâneos de versões em língua inglesa do épico indiano Rāmāyaṇa. Este artigo utiliza a análise crítica do discurso para explorar as semelhanças e diferenças no modo como estes autores têm recriado o épico. As adaptações escritas por autores masculinos têm-se debruçado principalmente sobre questões nacionalistas, visto que estes autores associam as suas abordagens pessoais com a tradição indiana. As adaptações escritas por autoras femininas têm-se concentrado em recriações positivas de representações da feminilidade indiana. Todos os autores têm sido semelhantes no sentido em que utilizam o Rāmāyaṇa como uma memória coletiva para explicar as virtudes da cultura tradicional indiana e encontrar nela soluções para os problemas da atualidade.
