Read it at our own leisure, for the simple pleasure of reading.The Immortals Of Meluha.epub The Immortals Of Meluha.pdf Please do note that there are grossly misrepresented facts but yes, the storyline is good, some of the concepts given in it are extremely interesting and overall a good read, though I would not rate it as a 'must read'. Lastly it is a book, one should read as purely a work of fiction. People reading this should bear it in mind that the author has grossly played with the historical facts and jumbled them up to present a very juvenile land of India. The book can in no way be taken as a narrative of the rich ancient history of our land, but as a work of pure fiction. Kudos to Amish for knowing his historical facts well and cleverly using them to his advantage. Amish cleverly uses this book as a prequel to his next book, 'The Secret of the Nagas'. The story has been weaved exceptionally well and the climax is really good though the end is kept wide open. They have been employed far too many times. Another thing I quite disagreed with,is the occasional usage of swear words. Now coming to the narrative style, Amish's style can never be called gripping, and cannot hold the attention of the reader.

Enters Shiva, a tribal chieftain from the mountains of Kailasha, whose throat has turned blue upon consuming Somrasa, is he the prophetic one? Will he be able to deliver Suryavanshis from their problems and are Chandravanshis really the problem? Who are these Nagas? Are the Suryavanshis really as good as portrayed? For finding the answers to these questions, one has to read The Immortals of Meluha. Now there is a prophecy that a blue throated man from the lands of the 'Sapt-Sindhu' would come and rescue the Suryavanshis. Their society isn't as civilized as the Suryanvanshis and they have now formed an ally with the 'Nagas', the most heinous of all the tribes of India and together they want to steal the secret formula of 'Somrasa', which Suryavanshis value as their holy drink. These Suryavanshis are in constant fear of terrorist attacks from another clan, the Chandravanshis, who are exactly the opposite of them as in they adhere to no rules, regulations or guidelines. Their science, culture, tradition all are taken from the venerable Lord Ram, the proginetor of the Suryavanshi clan. They are a highly civilized society where rules, guidelines and regulations are to an extent just. The story, unfolds in the ancient land of India, known as Meluha, where reigns Emperor Daksha of the Suryavanshi clan. Let me first start by giving a brief synopsis of the story. It would be very unfair on my part as a reader, if I do not put out an unbiased view of the book, because even I really enjoyed how the story unfolds. Sure, as a work of pure fiction, it is indeed good, but there are certain facts misrepresented as history of our land. Honestly, I felt I needed to write about the book, because, though it has captured the imaginations of many a readers, it would be grossly incorrect, if we were to believe that the author has tried to focus on the ancient and rich history of India. We could recreate thousands of Da Vinci Codes, if we delved into our history and mythology deep enough. It is a very noble beginning, and I really hope we have many authors who would use this historical background to base their stories upon. The fact that Amish has,goes a long way to say how our rich heritage could be used in the modern day and age.

Hindu mythology is a subject that very few Indian authors have tried to use in their story telling,much less to base their story on it. Recently I finished reading one of the recent bestsellers, The Immortals of Meluha, by Amish.First of all kudos to the author for trying to deal with Hindu mythology and giving it the shape that would be interesting to the modern reader.
