The paper engages with Amish Tripathi's novel "Ram Scion of Ikshvaku", particularly with the character of Ram as an efficient or ideal ruler, his responsibilities and his role in the society in the context of the Vedic system. The shades of his character under the lens of divine and mortal, social justice and caste dilemma, ideological beliefs of idealism versus pragmatism and institution of marriage problematize and address the anthropological framework of human society and functioning. The paradoxical interpretation of God, the plight of mortals and their deep divide and its disintegration through fiction is a hallmark. The state of social justice and problematic realities like caste still persist, and writers like Amish seek to readdress it with fresh perspectives in literary fiction. The shrinking landscape of political thought and ideologies concerns a vibrant society; thus, the novel propounds to elucidate its benefits and dangers to readers. Marriage remains a foundational building block of society; thus, its shortcomings and dysmorphia under the capitalistic and modernist influence need to be revisited. Amish models the marriage of Ram and Sita and contrasts it to the sifting of marriages in his own family to bring a radical change. Amish's character is located in the dynamic socio-religious belief of their setting with conflicts, distortion and the need for course correction. It also highlights ancient India and its socio-political realities. The article is replete with abundant instances and in-depth analysis of the characters and the events that address the readers and the problems that resonate in our contemporary times.
