shiva trilogy - Page 2

in that book lord Rama was 1000 years earlier than Shiva...Shiva meets Parasuraam , veerbhadra weds kritika etc..
btw there is Himavan but no Parvati..Kartikeya is Shiv-Sati's son, Kali is Sati's twin sister
Harappan civilization was shown in bad light to glorify Meluha civilization
Saraswati river is in North India
not only mytho , history and geography had been twisted too

i don't have any doubt about author's creative talent..it literally takes you in different world..if he didn't use these names then the story will be just more than perfect..i loved the story but can't praise Amrish for twisting Mytho, History ,Geography to make the book sensational

because i believed the book had potential to be best seller without claiming that its story of shiva.but Mr. Tripathy didn't believe on his capacity (which he actually had) and took names from Mythos to weave own story

^^^^ You are bang on Kdamvari. Exactly my views too.

its just a fiction n i think it shld be treated just like one. Its in no way disgracing any body...

n when ppl dnt mind da vinchi n why this?

regarding Da-Vinci-you have no clue-there was an outrage regarding it-even in India the Church got out protests

I read the books, AS pure fiction it is good. But if we start comparing it god s and goddess then it is all too twisted.
The writers creativity at its zenith.
Putting aside the fact that all the names are from our purnanas and they have all got mixed,
It makes a good read. I read it as a fiction not as a puranic katha.

i knw there was a hassle regarding it too, but all im trying to say is that the hassle was by a certain group of ppl who did nt take it as a fiction...n the same way with amish's book.

I have read the first two books and I loved them and have prebooked the 3 one which is called Curse of the Vayuputras and it is out in March.

I havent read the books yet, but i will surely try it whenever i can, cause i want to see how fiction differs from mytho. The title sounds facinating.. Thanks a lot for your recommendation Didlr :-)

IOM fills up the long wanting gap in Indian storytelling. History-mythological fiction. Such fictions are rampant in english literature and entertainment, and are taken purely as such.
