In 1900 B.C., 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; too 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?… (altro)

Loved it ⚜️! ( )

The story focuses on Shiva, a twenty-one year old warrior who is living with his tribesmen in what is currently Tibet. He comes across a group of Meluhans (Meluha is what is now Western India & Pakistan) who are searching for something or someone. Shiva’s tribe is called the Gunas and another tribe called the Pakratis is hunting them. Shiva detests the needless violence and decides to follow the Meluhan party back to their land. Things seem troublesome in Meluha wherein the Suryavanshi kings (Descendants of the Sun) are the rulers and the people live by Suryavanshi standards. They are facing friction from their eastern neighbors, the land of Swadeep ruled by Chandravanshis (Descendants of the moon) as both sides are clueless in regards to the drying up of the Saraswati River and hence blame each other for their differences.
Shiva then meets Sati,the emperor's daughter and falls in love with her..and you can read the rest :P

Loved the book!I loved the plot but I don't know why something was missing.I loved the way he used the names..like Sati,Shiva,Nandi etc.The author is really creative..I just loved the way he talked about Ram and Lord Rudra and he made it easy to digest.Nice climax ,by the way.I loved the way he described the city of Meluha.I didn't like the way they swore..I mean.who said "Damn it!" in 1900 BC?I hated those parts..and during the war it was just boring at times you know..only that part..overall,the book was just beautiful..It reached my expectations!loved it :)It made understanding Hindu mythology easy! you guys should read it..totally!

4.5 Stars
A brilliant storyline based on indian mythology. I wasn't keen on starting this series because I don't like it when facts that I have read from mythologies change. But the author has done an amazing work in building all the characters!
People who aren't familiar with mythologies won't be confused when they read this. ( )
