Description: Abstract: "Ramayana or Yama in the Myanmar language, is one of Myanmar?s canonical literary works that has been prevalent since ancient times and appeared in the forms of poetry and dramatic performance. Recently, the story has been modified and reinterpreted into a contemporary novel entitled Lin-­ gar Di Pa Chit Thu by Chit Oo Nyo. Through a postcolonial perspective, the novel critiques the British-­ Myanmar colonial power relations by characterizing Ravana as the protagonist who represents Myanmar natives? struggles against colonialism while appointing the role of the colonial powers to the Rama character. This anti-­ colonialist rewriting of Ramayana is achieved by turning upside down the traditional writing approach of the story, through which Ravana is the antagonist whereas Rama and his followers are the protagonists.".....Paper delivered at the International Conference on Burma/Myanmar Studies: Burma/Myanmar in Transition: Connectivity, Changes and Challenges: University Academic Service Centre (UNISERV), Chiang Mai University, Thailand, 24-­26 July 2015.
