Greetings, I assure you that it is not my intention to offend, and I had done my research before using the name. Unfortunately, the name is already published in physical print form and I cannot go back and change it. If it helps, I can share why I chose the name. My research showed me that only some Hindus still worship Ravan (or Ravana), while others do not, because of his villainous history, which in the end had a positive result of balance. I spoke with a Hindu who was an old schoolmate of mine at the time and confirmed my research. He was not among the worshippers. Being that my character, Ravan, is an anti-hero whom some will praise and others will not, I thought this was a perfect name, and my Hindu friend agreed. So I endeavored to not choose the name ignorantly, and I received approval from another Hindu before I made the name official (albeit one, but I have not had the fortune of meeting many). The name is not in use for the purpose of disrespect, but rather in tribute for the gift of inspiration. As you continue to read my stories (if you so choose), you will find many more tributes to various other cultures, religions, and historical figures and groups in an effort to not only make my world more realistic with diversity, but to give credit where credit is due from where I receive my inspiration. I hope this brings light to the purpose behind the name and provides your mind some ease, and I'm thrilled you enjoy the story.

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out with this information. Can you tell me who she is and how she can help in that regard before I contact her?
