Finally I found it in a tiny little shop, the proprietor telling me that the one I bought was one of the last copies he had left. That is really surprising for a first time Indian author. I went to quite a few book shops and found that it was sold out in most places. I read the first chapter online and liked it well enough that I decided to buy it. Curious I tried reading up more about it and saw that noted columnists like Anil Dharkar and Sandipan Deb had given it great reviews. I first heard about this book from a friend who had said that the book was a good read. Is the unexpected, rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva that hero? Drawn suddenly to his destiny, duty, and by love, Shiva will attempt to move mountains and lead the Suryavanshi to destroy evil. The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, a hero will emerge. To make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appear to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracized and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills. The Suryavanshi rulers are challenged with devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. Tripathi devoted years to the research of Hindu mythological stories and history, and discussions with his family about the destiny of the human body, mind and soul to create this sweeping and fascinating adaptation of ancient Hindu mythology for modern fantasy readers.ġ900 BC in what modern Indians call the Indus Valley Civilization and the inhabitants called the land of Meluha: a near-perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram-one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived-faces peril as its primary river, the Saraswati, is slowly drying to exctinction. Called “archetypal and stirring” by Deepak Chopra, The Immortals of Meluha heralds an exciting new wave of fantasy writing inspired by the ancient civilizations of the East.
