INDIAN HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Tulsidas began writing the Ramcharitmanas in Ayodhya in 1574 CE during the Akbar rule. The exact date is stated in the poem as being the ninth day of the month of Chaitra, which is the birthday of Rama.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ramcharitmanas (Devanagari: Rāmacaritamānasa), is an epic poem in the Awadhi language, based on the Ramayana, and composed by the 16th-century Indian bhakti poet Tulsidas (c. 1532–1623).

Detailed explanation-3: -Ever since Akbar became a close friend of Tulsidas and he also ordered a firman that followers of lord Rama, lord Hanuman & other Hindus, should not be harassed in his kingdom.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tulsidas was a contemporary of Mughal emperor Akbar. But Hindutva forces have generally pitted Tulsidas against Akbar. The reason is that Akbar with his liberal, tolerant and eclectic policies, disturbs the false Sangh narrative of clubbing Mughals and British and talking of 1000 years of ‘Ghulami (slavery)’ of India.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Ramcharitmanas was written between 1574 and 1576/77. A number of early manuscripts are extant-some fragmentary-and one is said to be an autograph. The oldest complete manuscript is dated 1647. The poem, written in Awadhi, an Eastern Hindi dialect, consists of seven cantos of unequal lengths.
