The Immortals of Meluha: The Shiva Trilogy Book 1

Product Information

That is the big change happening in publishing—it is taking pride in its own culture than knowing other cultures like in television, where regional language channels have more TRPs. The books have been translated into a number of languages like English (South Asia), Odia, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Assamese, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, Bahasa Indonesian, Tamil, English (UK), Estonian, Czech and Spanish, [32] with the author believing that publishing as a whole is gradually being embedded in the Indian business sensibilities. The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient prophecy: when evil reaches epic proportions and all seems lost, a hero will emerge .

And just because you have seen ONE or TWO mothers behaving that way, that does NOT give you the right to label ALL mothers like that. The intricate setup of the world and the political turmoil of Meluha paint a vivid picture of the era.

I liked the way he grew in the book, gaining knowledge, experience and wisdom and never losing his humility though everyone worshipped the ground he stood on. All in all, the book might work for some Indian readers, who have not read much before and the simplicity of the language might appeal to them (which i think is the major reason for the commercial success of this book in India). While she finished the book ages ago and wrote an amazingly detailed and dissecting review of everything that is wrong with this book, I have just finished reading it and I will try to tell you about what the book does right before I move onto what is wrong with it. I had extremely high expectations, made greater with the constant urging I got while reading that ‘it gets better’.

His book series, archetypal and stirring, unfolds the deepest recesses of the soul as well as our collective consciousness. However, if I were a parent, even a poor one, would I happily give up my child for this seeming ‘equality’? In 2019, Amish was appointed to a diplomatic role as Director , The Nehru Centre in London, India's premier cultural centre abroad. It seems like the Indian version of Harry Potter where Harry, who is destined to fulfill certain prophecy, plays along.Ayurvati – The Chief of Medicine, Ayurvati is an intelligent and revered woman, who is capable of curing any disease. Given that Amish’s writing is at best, average, but so far from what I have read from Indian authors, a market where authors like Chetan Bhagat rule, I think Amish is way above par. It has taken me close to three months to finish this book, which speaks volumes about my perception of Tripathi’s work.

My advice to anyone about to or currently reading this series would be what I have stated in the review itself. He maintains a respectful approach, unlike Devdutt Pattnaik(The Pregnant King), and creates a new world for the readers.

His Shiva Trilogy is the fastest selling and his Ram Chandra Series the second fastest selling book series in Indian publishing history. Brahaspati invites Shiva and the royal family on an expedition to Mount Mandar, where the legendary drink Somras is manufactured using the waters of the Saraswati. The present Meluhan king, Daksha, sends his emissaries to Tibet, to invite the local tribes to Meluha. As they rush to the save the village,they find out the it is being attacked by the Nagas and some Chandravanshi soldiers. And if you understand Shiva as he is supposed to be understood, then you’ll find more of him in this book than you’d expect.
