Immortals of Meluha (Shiva Trilogy #1)

Immortals of Meluha
by: Amish Tripathi
Rating: 4.5/5.0
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? 

The first book of Shiva Trilogy by Amish Tripathi and one of the best books I have ever read. The storyline has been put in the era of Indus Valley Civilization. The author has made a nice blend of History, Mythology and Fiction in this book. Shiva: The Destroyer God has been put in the shoes of man as he leaves his home as a man and reaches to the position of God.

The narration is very detailed and as you read the book, you will find yourself imagining the scenarios and situations of which you read in the book. Also, I found the book a little addictive as I completely got engulfed by the characters and events of the book. Its a great Mythological Fiction book.

I also think that if everybody reads it with an objective point of view in mind, this book can cure our social problem of religious superstitions relating to Gods. As you read it considering that you are reading about Gods, you find them making mistakes, correcting their mistakes and being true to their self.

Altogether, a great read and a must for everybody.

For Someone I Love.....

make money online तेरी आँखों में जो डूबा किसे अब पार जाने था । तू ही था मेरा हमसाया तुझे ही मैंने पाना था । उठा जब जब दुआ में सर तुझे सोचा, तुझे माँगा । तू ही मेरा सारा जहां, तुझे ही मैंने जाना था । हँसा किस्मत पर अपनी मई के मेरा क्या बचा था अब । ये जान तेरी ये दिल तेरा तू ही मेरा खज़ाना था । नही चाहा कोई अपना मेरा भी और हो जाए । मेरे दिल ने तुझे ही बस तुझे ही अपना माना था । - अनुराग कुशवाहा
