The immortals of Meluha
Immortals of Meluha - The canvas of Indian mythology is vast, with a rich interplay of characters from different ages and cultures, thereby creating many colorful and awe-inspiring stories. Some call them myths; some draw inspiration from them and for some it’s the way of gods and their stories. But have you ever wondered what if the Ram’s, the Ravan's and the Krishna's were real people like me and you in flesh and blood. People with exceptional talents, geniuses in various disciplines that their story transcends time becoming legends and these legends in their turn giving way to myths. What if Ravan as represented in many Indian cultures was not a ten headed demonic creature but an exceptionally learned man with the knowledge and qualities of ten men? His downfall brought about by the cardinal sin of coveting another man's wife or his desire to avenge his sister. Welcome to the world of "Immortals of Meluha". Here the author Amish looks at Shiva as a man in flesh and blood. He is a tribal leader with exceptional talents, who has the tag of 'savior' thrust upon him. The book looks at this simple man coming to terms with his destiny, finding the love of his life and going about his karma, justifying the tag thrust upon him. This is Book 1 of a trilogy from Amish with two other books to follow.
