It truly adds to the story and thus becomes a real page-turner for me.

On one hand, it does not diminish the Divine image that Hinduism holds about Shiva, but on the other hand, successfully depicts Him in a human form with insecurities and inner conflicts when a huge number of people rest their faith in Him. The perfectness of Meluha, the romantic love story of Shiva and Sati, the unexceptionable devotion of Nandi to his Master, brilliantly written scenes and battle tactics, and overall the Greatness of Shiva who treats every human with love, respect, and dignity. It is a perfect amalgamation of philosophy, history, folklore, science, and mythology. I almost fell in love with the third-person narration of the story which gives a bird’s eye view about the events going on without hurting the religious sentiments of people associated with the characters (Lord Shiva, Ram, Sati Nandi, etc). Whoa! What a read it was! In short, just wonderful. He was also selected for The Eisenhower Fellow, a prestigious programme that selects outstanding leaders from all across the world.This post is about the first book i.e. The Shiva trilogy has garnered a thunderous fan-following across the world and made Amish the recipient of a number of prestigious awards. He is currently invested in a project to launch the first instalment of the Ramchandra series - The Scion of Ikshvaku. He is an Indian finance veteran turned author, who is known for his trilogy - The Immortals of Meluha, The Secret of The Nagas and The Oath of The Vayuputras. The story depicts how an ordinary man Shiva went on to be called as the great Mahadev.Īmish Tripathi was born on 18 October, 1974.

The abrupt ending is a cliff hanger that leaves us thirsty for the second book. The rest of the story follows Shiva as he exacts vengeance for the Suryavanshis, for duty and for love.

The Suryavanshis are in need of a saviour and they find their miraculous saviour in the form of a Tibetan immigrant, Shiva. The Chandravanshis have teamed up with the Nagas who are a horrific clan of people with physical deformities and mystical powers. The Suryavanshi clan, which is the major clan inhabitating Meluha, is threatened by their neighbouring enemies - 'The Chandravanshis'. The inhabitants of Meluha are in grave danger as their primary source of living, the river Saraswati, is drying up. The story is based in the fictional land of Meluha, which was established by the great monarch Lord Rama. The book offers a refreshingly new take on the subject and is a recreation of the story of the mythological Shiva. The Immortals of Meluha humanizes the revered Lord Shiva and describes the trials and tribulations of the human Shiva in 1900 BC, the era in Indian history which is known to be the era of the Indus Valley Civilization. The trilogy has been converted to more than 48 languages, out of which Tamil is one such language. The first instalment of the Amish saga is The Immortals of Meluha.
