The Immortals of Meluha: The Shiva Trilogy Book 1

Product Information

He decided to base his story on a radical idea that all Gods were once human beings; it was their deeds in the human life that made them famous as Gods. In a fight towards the middle of the book, someone throws a weapon at Shiva, and since Tripathi wanted his story to appear cliché as well as off-putting, Sati races to save Shiva, gets hit by the weapon, falls severely ill and gets saved (woohoo) through an idea put across by Shiva.

Personally, I expected a blend of mythology and history, and the book exceeded my expectations by adding an element of suspense and intrigue.

Had I not googled Shiva’s story 15% into the book, I would not have realized that Tripathi has borrowed most of the characters from the original story but not their backgrounds . The present Meluhan king, Daksha, sends his emissaries to Tibet, to invite the local tribes to Meluha.After its publication, The Immortals of Meluha received mostly positive response from critics for its concept but the prose received mixed reviews. This book is a nightmare for all those who not only are devout lovers of Shiva but worship him for what we know of him. This is completely worthless piece of work which has nothing to contribute to the society, this book was written for the sole purpose of making money, and that, it has done successfully - thanks to the ample publicity. Shiva, Amish's protagonist who is based on lord Shiva we are familiar with, is a characterization that is unorthodox and disturbing at times, if I may add. Given that Amish’s writing is at best, average, but so far from what I have read from Indian authors, a market where authors like Chetan Bhagat rule, I think Amish is way above par.

Amish is passionate about history, mythology and philosophy, finding beauty and meaning in all world religions. Enraged by the disrespect shown by the man toward Shiva,Sati challenges the man for an Agni Pariksha.And just because you have seen ONE or TWO mothers behaving that way, that does NOT give you the right to label ALL mothers like that.
