ABSTRACT: This is an attempt to analyse how Malay writer Anand Neelakantan used the demythologized literary tool in his English novel Asura: A Tale of the Beating. He tells the story of the Ramayana from the Angle of Ravana, a villain from the Ramayana epic in Sanskrit. Valmiki's projections of the spread of the Aryan race and the tedious way of life of humans and civilizations through the presentation of the ideal Rama were damaged in this novel, which initiated Rahwana as a hero. Nelacanant's attempt to paint Ravana as a cruel, baseless, and power-hungry electrician seemed to ignore the destroyed ideological destruction of the Ramayana version of Cambay, a work that revealed the heroic Raven. How does demythologization in Asura work, does demythologization allow a better understanding of the famous Ramayana repertoire, how long the author himself is ideologically conditioned in his ambitious literature is the topic considered in this observation? Richer social scientists tend to refute fairy-tale innocence. Western students like Herbert Spencer. Max Müller, Roland Bart and Levi-Strauss praise seriously examine the role of myths in the conditioning of human life. They seem to suggest that fraud is nothing more than imagination and misrepresentation of names, which leads to self-delusion.

Asura, history of beatings, demythologise mythical, communities.
