Why do think people are still interested in ancient Sanskrit epics today?
This is because all the languages that is present in the world is derived from Sanskrit. It is the world's oldest language!For one thing they are epics- in that the validity of what is recounted in them about human nature or the concerns of Dharma are relevant even today. The epics viz., The Ramayana and The Mahabharata are concerned in showing by example the Ideal Human and the Practical Human(s) respectively. Many lessons can be learnt and guidancen for day-to-day could be obtained. Now, why read them in Sanskrit, while translations are available? This is because however expertly translated there are aspects of Sanskrit Expression that defy translation even into the Regional Languages of India which are born of Sanskrit, what to speak of the languages of say the Indo-European family?
