Ashutosh Rana is a known name in bollywood circles. As an actor he has left his mark and proved his mettle in movies like Dushman, Sangharsh, Kasoor, Raaz, Haasil, Mulk and many more. Rana's act in Sangharsh as Lajjashankar Pandey as megalomaniac was truly magically. 

Likewise, his writing skill too is spellbound. Author's association with theatre and film fraternity, comes handy and it reflects in writing. Book flows smooth as slide with very interesting yet nuanced insights. 

"Ramrajya" is Ashutosh Rana's thought-provoking attempt which delves into the concept of an ideal society as envisioned in the Indian epic, the Ramayana.

Rana has skillfully stitched words like notes that transcend as beautiful melody. For example, in the book there is verse that loosely translates as - “They know the truth that when Saakar (positive) and Naakar (negative) meet each other in a rhythmic manner, then the sound of Omkar (Om) arises in our mind. And when these two energies stand against each other and start clashing, then a disorder is born in our heart. The book is full of such delightful wordplay. 

His book highlights values and virtues that should guide our lives through different characters of Ramayana like Kaikeyi, Mareech(Golden deer), Suparna(Surpanakha), Kumbhakarna, Ravan, Hanuman. 

The book draws parallels between ancient wisdom and contemporary issues. Author argues as how the timeless principles from the Ramayana can address some of our modern social, political, and economic issues.

To conclude, Ashutosh Rana's "Ramrajya" is not just a nostalgic look back at a mythical golden age but a call to imbibe the principles of justice, ethics, and moral leadership. It further attempts to combine philosophical reflections with practical insights, making it a compelling read.
