Nina Paley is a well-known American cartoonist who discovered the Ramayana when she lived in India for a while.
Shocked by what Sita had to endure, she did what every Indian has done since the first appearance of this story, and retold it the way she liked as 'Sitayana.' This narrative has since evolved and taken the form of a critically acclaimed animation film: When Sita Sang the Blues.
A Rediff.com story on the film and Nina's fund-raising efforts, here.
