Simply unputdownable for any lover of Indian history and mythology. sees Lord Shiva and his intriguing life with a refreshing perspective. The book is (a) marvellous attempt to create fiction from folklore, religion and archaeological facts. The Afternoon The author takes myth and contemporises it, raising questions about all that we hold true and familiar. The author has succeeded in making many mythological figures into simple flesh and blood human beings, and therein lie(s) the beauty and the acceptability of this book.Ģ. wonderful book, replete with action, love and adventure, and extolling virtues and principles. Be it the interpretation of Shivas battle cry Har Har Mahadev as Every man a Mahadev or the valour of Sati who fights her own battles every passage is rich in meaning and yet, open to interpretation. to me, The Immortals of Meluha is a political commentary with messages for our world and a hope that since they flow from the Mahadev himself, they will find greater acceptance. The first part has been on the Indian bestseller charts for quite some time now. Its author Amish, an IIM graduate, created a delightful mix of mythology and history by making Lord Shiva the hero of his trilogy. The Deccan Chronicle Much before the box-office verdict on Rajneeti and Raavan became apparent, Indian readers gave a thumbs-up to The Immortals Of Meluha. A fast paced story, you are bound to read it cover to cover in one sitting. The Hindu Amongst the list of favourite holiday books of 2010. has philosophy as its underlying theme but is racy enough to give its readers the adventure of a lifetime. Business World Amongst the top 5 books recommendedby Brunch. The end however is a cliff-hanger and leaves one thirsting for more. An essentially mythological story written in a modern style, the novel creates anticipation in the readers mind and compels one to read with great curiosity till the end. What really engages is the authors crafting of Shiva, with almost boyworship joy The Times of India The story is gripping and well-paced.
Just how much Shiva rocks the imagination is made grandiosely obvious in The Immortals of Meluha. Praise for The Immortals of Meluha Shiva rocks.
