Rathi Raja is a South Asian Indian storyteller and educator. She was born in the district of Ambala in Haryana, India to parents from Kerala. Her father was employed in the Air Force which meant the family had to shift location frequently. So Rathi became fluent in Hindi, Tamil, and English and developed an enduring interest in the multifariousness of Indian cultural tradition. Despite having attended British schools, she maintained a keen interest in the Hindu Epics. Rathi arrived in the US in 1981 with husband Ramani. After several years of work on Wall Street, she moved to Manhasset in Long Island. There, Rathi had a feeling that acculturation would affect American-born Hindus causing them to lose vital information about their religion and culture. Realizing this, she sought to arouse the interest of the children there by telling stories from the Ramayana, Mahabharata and Panchatantra. Soon, she committed herself wholly to educating Long Island children about their cultural, linguistic, and religious heritage. The Young Indian Culture Group was an outcome of this goal. Rathi brought YICG into being, aided by two Long Island doctors Runi Ratnam and Urmila Shivaram. In YICG’s maiden year, twenty five students registered.
