[#] 5 [Program Name] Ramayana, An Enduring Tradition: Its Text and Context [Annotation] 
For the past two thousand years the Ramayana has been among the most important literary and oral texts of South Asia. This poem provides insights into many aspects of Indian culture and continues to influence the politics, religion and art of modern India. During a 1997 summer institute, program participants designed related material to provide an entry for teachers and students into the study of this tradition. The institute was funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities; the American Forum for Global Education and Syracuse University collaborated on the program.
