Asuran book was written by Anand Neelakantan. The story was about the epic Ramayanam but not about the epic hero Raman its about the villain Ravanan. All through the years we don't give a chance for villains to say about their perspective. The author wish to convey that the coin has two sides. In this story we can able to see Ravanan's other side. Ravanan is a mere human who desires for life. His love for music and art is admirable through out the book. We can also able learn about the politics and the sufferings of common people.
The author clearly narrates about the divison of classes in the society. The book also show about the rude side of Ravavnan. The entire book is narrated by an Barathan, a fan follower of Ravanan who led a simple and happy life in lakes of pooranam. Barathan life has changed after the entry of devar peoples in his country. The story is all about the fight between devar and asurans, politics, deepest desire of Ravanan.
Ravanan kidnap Sita from Raman as she was Ravanan daughter and he thought that Rama had not kept Sita happy. The story does not stop at Ravanan's death, it continues what happen to Ilangai next and how Rama rules the country and what sufferings did Sita faced after Ravanan's death.
