Abstract

This paper explores the meaning of Ramarajya, a Gandhian ideal state concept, and its historical origins and interpretations. It highlights how this concept has been idealized into a mythic representation of Lord Rama by a dominant cultural and political hegemony in India. The paper discusses two narratives: one presenting an ideal of governance, and the other a counter-narrative, based on a particular cultural hegemony, aimed at exclusion and the thwarting of justice.
