The new trend of rewriting the myths in manners logical n pragmatic, in my opinion, finds an entirely different junction with Asuras. It's not just a retelling of an old legend, it's the reshaping of all thoughts and general outlook to what is good or bad, right or wrong, divine or humane.
Asuras stand for all that is true today and everything that has been denied thousands of years ago. In the voices of the hapless but still strong Ravana and the trashy and contemptuous Bhadra, the tale of Ramayana becomes "Ravayana".
By the time the story ends, Ravaan's plight becomes your own and you cry in anguish as the Asuras step into eternal damnation.
Highly Recommended Book.
