Representaion Conducive To Books The Immortals of Meluha (Shiva Trilogy #1)
1900 BC. In what modern Indians mistakenly call the Indus Valley Civilisation. The inhabitants of that period called it the land of Meluha a near perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram, one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived. This once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe perils as its primary river, the revered Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction. They also face devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. To make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appear to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracised and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills!The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a hero will emerge.
Is the rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva, really that hero? And does he want to be that hero at all? Drawn suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love, will Shiva lead the Suryavanshi vengeance and destroy evil?

A pure adult fantasy (in a nice way)... 'The Immortal of Meluha is a mythical fiction book The legends of the past have been recreated.. Gods are humanized and traditions are questioned.Without revealing too much I would say it traces beautifully the journey of Shiva from being a tribal to a 'Mahadeva'. Even other popular characters of Ram, Nandi, Sati, Daksha, Brahma are neatly placed. Only one issue the English used is too local and common phrases like 'dammit' 'what in the name of' etc soundGood story poorly written Amish Tripathi weaves a splendid but totally fictional & fantasized account of Shiva's travails.For the folks looking for Lord Shiva's methodologically accurate chronicle would feel frustrated. This book is certainly not for the purists; they should explore authentic SHIVA PURAN for that goal.This is a fabricated, but very well conceptualized story, weaving together the history (Indus Valley Civilization), geography (North Indian plains above the Vidhyas) &
When I first heard of the book I was a bit apprehensive for a few reasons.1) Im not a fan of Indian mythology, I adore Greek mythology and I am mildly interested in Egyptian but Indian mythology never appealed to me.2) The author had said in an interview that he worshipped Shiva. People tend to sometimes show their own heroes/idols in a supreme being/perfect way therefore I assumed that Amish Tripathi had done the same.3) The Indian market is full of books written by authors who come from fields
Death is the ultimate destroyer of a souls aspirations. Ironically, it is usually the approach of this very destruction which gives a soul the courage to challenge every constraint and express itself. Express even a long-denied dream. This was supposed to be a BR with Sillyhead! but it fell through due to real life shit. Sucks ass. I know not when I will get another chance to read with her. While she finished the book ages ago and wrote an amazingly detailed and dissecting review of
This book is a nightmare for all those who not only are devout lovers of Shiva but worship him for what we know of him. For me it definitely was a nightmare. The idea of his journey from human to supreme being is the only thing about the plot that I liked and which had tempted me to buy this book. But, very sadly, I could not relate to the Tripathi's take on Tibetan Shiva and to the very vague writing (which killed me)!! Moreover, if you really want to read a good mythology, why not read Shiva
A great book with a different outlook at Indian mythology. I first saw this book grandly stacked on shelves of a multitude of famous book stores. I resisted the temptation for a while for reasons unknown. The book definitely is worth a read. A few parts here and there are predictable but the author has tried to effectively maintain the element of attention as he progresses through this wonderful piece of work.
itself is very common . pleats are very barely fighted
