Theme
Immortals of Meluha is part 1 of the Shiva Trilogy by Amish
Tripati. It is a book written fictionalizing the life of Shiva. It describes
Shiva as a tribal leader in the Himalayas who rises to be Neelakanth to help
the people of Meluha. The story revolves around different groups of people -
Suryavanshis, Chandravanshis and Nagas.
What I thought about it
When I started reading the book, I was taken aback. The first page
talks about Shiva smoking Marijuana. I was surprised it survived the hindutva
leaders J. As I read it I really enjoyed the book. It beautifully
weaves facts and characters in Shiva’s life with fiction. You will find
yourself reading about characters like Nandi, Bruhaspati etc.
If I write a lot about this book, I will give away a lot of
storyline. I really do not want to do that. If you are interested in the plot,
read it in Wikipedia link below.
I highly recommend this book.
