Ramayana
Were the Vanaras in the Ramayana Actually Monkeys Or Humans?
They had kings, ministers, marriage ceremonies, and political alliances. They also had tails, could leap across oceans, and lived in forests. The Ramayana's Vanaras are one of the most debated identities in ancient literature and neither 'monkey' nor 'human' fully captures what the text actually describes.
