Now whether that evil is something within Shiva’s heart or elsewhere is left for you to find out.Īnd yes, like every Hindi movie,even in The Immortals of Meluha, there’s a pretty girl involved called Sati (C’mon guys, if Superman can have Lois Lane and Spiderman can have Mary Jane and Shaktimaan can have Geeta Bihwas and Ra.One can have Chammak Challo, what makes you think Shiva cant! So does our Hero go out and destroy the evil Chandravanshi’s and the Nagas? Well, I don’t want to play spoilsport for you at this moment but yes, evil is destroyed. Ok, not that dramatic but you get what happens in The Immortals of Meluha. He is the would-be-destroyer of evil, the Neelkanth that was prophesied by the Gods lest all hope faded for mankind. The same is done in The Immortals of Meluha by Shiva, the Nomad. You see, all evil things need to be destroyed by a Hero. Well, so what do the Suryavanshi’s do now? It’s simple guys, they need a Hero to save them. The Immortals of Meluha actually reminded me of India – Pakistan – Taliban somehow! To make matters worse, the Chandravanshi’s have aligned with the warrior tribe called Nagas (the real mean ass ones) who carry out constant terrorist attacks on the Suryavanshi people. Meluha, is the land of the legendary Suryavanshi’s (the good folks) who are at constant war with the Chandravanshi’s (the not so good folks). Like the name suggests, The Immortals of Meluha is set in the imaginary land of Meluha which actually is the Indus Valley that we read so long back in our history course.Īll through the Immortals of Meluha, you’ll be visiting places like Harriyappa (yeah, the same Harrappa – Mohenjedaro one) which makes me wonder, no actually quite sure, that Amish would have topped his History course. Am sure at this rate the IIM’s will open a publishing house of their own very soon. The Immortals of Meluha is the first book in the Shiva Trilogy series written by Amish Tripathi (who by the way happens to be an IIM pass out and we all know the recent spate of books being churned out by these guys. I have seen it on almost every major bestseller list and figured it’d be a good read over the weekend.
The story is of the journey of a simple Tribal man to 'Mahadev' - God of the Gods. Pretty impressed by the reviews on the first page, i started turning the pages. So i decided to lay my hands on the First book' The Immortals of Meluha' by Amish. On probing further, i realised that this was the second book of the 'Shiva' Trilogy. I was just browsing books in Crossword, when i noticed an attractive book cover, that of a fully hooded Snake on a book which proclaimed to uncover the 'SECRET OF THE NAGAS'.
