We wish the writing was more elaborated, the characters were built up with sound research and the author had paid more attention to the quality of writing.Īnother very important point of thinking left by this book for readers is the interpretation of good and evil or a misunderstanding of good and evil.Īs people’s intolerance towards other cultures, religions, and communities rises, it leads to unrest and rift expansion, which is refreshing and reminiscent of the “big picture”. It seemed less like a book and more like the script of a Bollywood movie. The other characters are flat and not well developed.Īlthough the modern or colloquial language is a necessary condition for connecting with youth in the modern era, the author seems to have forgotten the content of this book. On the contrary, it is Shiva’s insecurity and inner conflict that make the reader feel that he is human.
Too much use of foul language in conversations makes Shiva look like human sounds inappropriate. The image of Lord Shiva’s pulp hero and a rock star is very harsh and cliche. He immediately fell in love with Sati, fell behind her, and did all the trivial things to impress her. Shiva smokes for tranquility, dancing for entertainment, and is full of young desires. This story is neither fluent nor fascinating, it jumps forward without any surprises or twists and turns that you could not notice before. However, these are the only good things we want to say about this book. In the early days of the first book, good progress was made in discussions on the caste system, the status of women in society, and the reference to karma. The author has done an excellent job of interweaving Hindu mythology with the Indus Valley civilization.
If you consider this, each of us has the potential to achieve our destiny by following the path of justice. There is a man here who is not a born God but is forced to play the role of a person and realize his destiny by making all the right choices and fulfilling his duties to humanity. Therefore, it comes as a shock to read words like ‘dammit’, ‘rubbish’, ‘bloody hell’, ‘wow’, ‘what a woman’ which is being casually sworn by Shiva.įor the first time in history, we met a “humane” God. The tone and structure of the mythological tales we have heard and read are always very formal because our gods should be worshipped and held in respectful awe. The Meluhans believe that Shiva is their fabled saviour Neelkanth.These stories narrate how they punish wrongdoers and bless and favor the righteous.
The story is set in the land of Meluha and starts with the arrival of the Shiva. The Immortals of Meluha is the first book of Amish Tripathi, first book of Amishverse, and also the first book of Shiva Trilogy.
