I like it. Thanks Thirumal. Thirumal Prasad Patil Certified Buyer. I loveed both the parts of the trilogy. I think Amish is one of the best writers in India at the moment. Much better than Chetan Bhagat. The detailing in his books are amazing. Eagerly waiting for the third book.

Liked the detailed description of places and situations which helps the readers in understanding the story and moving along with it. A completely original plot brilliantly amalgamating mythology, history and fiction to create a mesmerizing saga. The author has fictionalized and simplified the mythology to such an extent that it can easily be followed by all, thereby increasing its reach extensively. After reading this book, I was wondering, perhaps the 'page-turner' term was coined for such books.

This book completely lives up to the term. For the folks looking for Lord Shiva's methodologically accurate chronicle would feel frustrated. The publishers should have mentioned that caveat with a disclaimer somewhere, else many readers might feel cheated, like me.

The writer deserves kudos for coming up with such creative story-plot, however the quality of writing is very pedestrian. The story however holds enough content to keep you turning the pages.

Ahmad Sharabiani. The story is set in the land of Meluha and starts with the arrival of the Shiva. The Meluhans believe that Shiva is their fabled savior Neelkanth. Shiva decides to help the Meluhans in their war against the Chandravanshis, who had joined forces with a cursed Nagas; however, during his journey and the fight that ensues, Shiva learns how his choices actually reflect who he aspires to be and how they lead to dire consequences.

Meluha is a near perfect empire, created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram, one of the greatest Hindu kings that ever lived. However, the once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe crisis as its primary river, Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction. They also face devastating terrorist attacks from the Chandravanshis who have joined forces with the Nagas, a cursed race with physical deformities.

Shiva, chief of the Guna tribe, accepts the proposal and moves to Meluha with his people. Once reached they are received by Ayurvati, the Chief of Medicine of the Meluhans. The Gunas are impressed with the Meluhan way of life. On their first night of stay the tribe wake up with high fever and sweating. The Meluhan doctors administer medicine.

Flat and ordinary writing. The book never touches a pinnacle like it should, especially when you're reading Indian mythology.

Indian mythology, a subject which in itself offers a vast, vivid, picturesque, setup with a lot of thrills, mysteries, a set of complete civilization which defined the future. The leading characters should be larger than life but in this book, the author is just engrossed in moving the story forward while he forgets to add any substance to the grand character Shiva himself, the Lord, the one of Trinity. The characters in modern day fiction are more researched and elaborated, create a more connect with the reader than the protagonist in this one.

I just wanted to get through the book. I wish that the writing was more elegant, content more researched and the story presented to reflect the story of Shiva, the God, rather than Shiva yes someone like yeah who transformed. Anish Kohli. 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. 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 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 am sort of biased towards the Hindu God Shiva.

Not in a religious way but in more of a spiritual way. And understandably so, I am biased towards this book as well. BUT, I will try to keep my prejudices out of this review. Before I tell you what this book is about, let me tell you what its NOT about because I feel that is more important.

This is not the story of Shiva, the God! This is not a lesson in history. This is not the Shivapuran. This is not some religious text so stop being offended! This is a fictionalized account! This book, is the story of a man named Shiva. A simple man, who is placed in a foreign land, out of his depth and looking for solid footing. A man who was proclaimed the lord and savior to a nation overnight. A man, looking to make sense of things. This is not the story of Shiva, the God.

The Mahadev. The God of Gods. Destroyer of Evil. All-powerful, yet incorruptible. Quick wit, accompanied by an equally quick and fearsome temper. Shiva, the chief of a mountain tribe, the Gunas, is offered a choice. Either stay in his harsh homeland and face battles daily just to stay alive or to migrate to a land called Meluha, one of the greatest civilizations known to man. Having the best interests of his tribe at heart, Shiva decides to migrate.

Little does he know that the Meluhans have a hidden agenda in offering sanctuary! As Shiva spends time with the Meluhans, he finds that while the society of Meluha functions perfectly, it has its problems and erroneous ways too. The destroyer of Evil, needs to determine what truly is evil before he can take on the task. Meanwhile Shiva finds himself falling in love with the one woman who was made for him, the one he cannot have, as the norms of the society dictate.

What shall he do? Shiva must accept his role and destiny as the NeelKanth and wage a war to destroy the evil that he has been shown to protect the land of Meluha, who so lovingly accepted him and made him their lord. Will he succeed? Or is he in for a surprise? As I said in the beginning, I am biased towards Lord Shiva and so understandably, I have tried to read some stories and books based on him.

I have read blogs and articles, few religious texts and heard lectures about what and who Shiva is. The way I perceive him, Shiva is a difficult god to capture. Very difficult indeed. Other Gods, not so much!

Take Indra, for example. Throw in arrogance, mix some debauchery and bullheadedness with a lot of anger, you get the perfect Indra. Make him follow all the rules and make him do everything that is by the book and make him bow and you have the Maryada Purshottam Ram! Paint a picture of calm and an ever smiling persona who always believes in the grand plan, add a pinch of polygamy, you have Krishna Kanhhaiya. He is just something else. I have never read or heard anyone capture him better than Amish!

I recently reviewed the book 7 secrets of Shiva by the Hindu mythology authoritarian, Devdutt Pattanaik and he just fails soo bad! Most of them do. Preview this item Preview this item. Subjects Indus civilization -- Fiction. Indus civilization. More like this User lists Similar Items.
