![]() ![]() The story, unfolds in the ancient land of India, known as Meluha, where reigns Emperor Daksha of the Suryavanshi clan. Let me first start by giving a brief synopsis of the story. It would be very unfair on my part as a reader, if I do not put out an unbiased view of the book, because even I really enjoyed how the story unfolds. Sure, as a work of pure fiction, it is indeed good, but there are certain facts misrepresented as history of our land. Honestly, I felt I needed to write about the book, because, though it has captured the imaginations of many a readers, it would be grossly incorrect, if we were to believe that the author has tried to focus on the ancient and rich history of India. We could recreate thousands of Da Vinci Codes, if we delved into our history and mythology deep enough. It is a very noble beginning, and I really hope we have many authors who would use this historical background to base their stories upon. The fact that Amish has,goes a long way to say how our rich heritage could be used in the modern day and age. Hindu mythology is a subject that very few Indian authors have tried to use in their story telling,much less to base their story on it. Recently I finished reading one of the recent bestsellers, The Immortals of Meluha, by Amish.First of all kudos to the author for trying to deal with Hindu mythology and giving it the shape that would be interesting to the modern reader.
