Overall, it was a lovely read and I absolutely enjoyed it. The book touches on the advancement of the Indian civilisation of the time. Various legends of Shiva are incorporated in the book well. The various emotions of Shiva and the way he reacts to events around him are very well presented and put us in the protagonist's shoes. The way people see "the other side" as evil and themselves as good forms the crux of the story. The contrast between order and chaos is highlighted and becomes a prominent point towards the end of the book. We visit the ancient civilisation of Meluhas, their enemy swadeepans and see a glimpse of a common enemy of the two nations. He fights his own battles while fighting for those he must protect and those he has come to love.Īmish Tripathi captures the various ways of life of the people of India and takes us on a journey throughout northern India. It takes us on the journey of Shiva, who begins as a tribal chief around the Manasarovar lake and later takes on the roles of Neelkanth and Mahadev. In this book however Shiva, Ram, Hanuman, are all exceptional human beings who came to be revered through their actions and the impact they had on their society. The book is a reimagination of the origin of the Hindu God Shiva. The Immortals of Meluha is the first book of the Shiva trilogy by Amish Tripathi. Here we list down all of Amish Tripathi’s works till date, most of which are bestselling novels.Rating: 4/5 (Connecting the various stories about the central characters was very well done and that matters in a book like this)
And, the bestselling author is once again a part of Write India in its third season.
Interestingly, Amish was also the first Write India author for the debut season of India’s biggest short-story writing contest. Anyone who is fascinated with mythology and history would find his books an amazing read. His Shiva Trilogy ranks as the fastest-selling book series in Indian publishing history followed by his Ram Chandra series as the second fastest-selling book series. His popularity reflects in the 5 million copies sold in 19 different Indian and international languages. There is no doubt that Amish is the most prominent contemporary fiction writer. Its record-breaking sale within a few weeks of its launch, established Amish not just as an Indian bestselling author, but as an internationally recogmised one too!
This is how i feel they might use the book as a loose reference material for this movie series.
A riveting mash-up of Indian mythology and fiction, the novel was an instant hit. In book 3 of the series (oath of Vayuputras), shiva finds and uses a Brahmastra to avenge the death of sati which means that Alia is sure to die in the series which also is true as per mythology (sati died and was reborn as Parvati). Write India author Amish Tripathi, the banker turned award-winning Indian writer is best known for his debut novel, ‘The Immortals of Meluha’.
