When it comes to Amish Tripathi, his novel 'The Immortals Of Meluha' was my first. The novel takes you to another level, even though i have read only one of his novels it made me a fan of Amish. The Immortals Of Meluha was such a success that just after a week of its arrival it caught the title of best seller in many magazines. Amish transformed the story of Lord Shiva into a more dramatic and deeply interesting plot. Even though it was a bit controversial and a bit simple and frank for a writer, no one can think that it was not worth or was time wasting. This book is action packed with a bit of romance in it. This novel is a must read!
THE PLOT
The Immortals of Meluha opens with Shiva watching the sun set and smoking marijuana. A stage is set where Shiva, the leader of the Guna tribe, is tired of fighting the Pakratis for survival each day and he is considering moving to Meluha with his tribe to lead a new life. Chasing the dream of a life devoid of warfare “sounds so damn good” to Shiva. As he is mulling over the Meluhan’s proposal, the Pakratis strike. A short assault follows where the Meluhans help Shiva and his tribe drive off the Pakratis, and Shiva decides to move to Meluha. the plot from there shows the early stages of Shiva on the road to becoming the neelkanth mahadev we all know and love.
