I have always found myself dumbfounded by the argument that prologues shouldn’t exist anymore in the fantasy genre. Through humour, torture, gore, lust, magic, dangerous power games and bloodcurdling battles, Sons of Darkness takes us on an unforgettable wild journey set in re-imagined Vedic India.

This is an important question, because Paul tells the Thessalonians that for the Sons and Daughters of Light, these words should encourage us. We may note the recurrence of the phrase (with the variation of the Greek word for "children" instead of "sons") in Ephesians 5:8 as another instance of the way in which the phraseology of St. Brooding and beautiful Karna hopes to bury his brutal past, but finds that destiny is a miser when it comes to granting second chances.

In ADHYAYA II: ALL THAT GLITTERS, Mohanty focused the plot on Mati from Kalinga and Karna from Hastina.

It is a graphic and sarcastic eulogy which a good-humoured man of the world would pronounce upon a brilliant and skilful, although unprincipled, action, and it completes the story as a story. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
