A Review on The Immortals of Meluha

By Dhruv Batra


One of the biggest success stories of 2010 is the book, The Immortals of Meluha. This book has been on every major best-seller list since its launch and is authored by an Indian writer called Amish Tripathi. Set in the imaginary land of Meluha, The Immortals of Meluha, is a mix of history and mythology with twists and turns at every stage.

The land of Meluha is inhabited by the proud and mighty clan of the Suryavanshis. These people follow the teachings of Lord Rama and pride themselves of being his ardent followers and living in a perfect society. The Meluhan people have access to a mysterious drink called Somras that allows them immortal life and frees them of any ills.

However, all is not well in the perfect land of Meluha. The Suryavanshi clan is facing tough times and is on the brink of war with its noisy neighbors from the land of Swadeep, the Chandravanshis. This other clan is the total opposite of the Meluhan people in terms of appearance and behavior. While the Meluhan pride them on being perfect, the Swadeepans love chaos and everything that is odd.

Another major problem being faced by the Meluhans is the terrorist activites being carried out by the evil Nagas from the South. These dangerous Nagas escape soon after carrying out a terrorist activity and so far, the Meluhans have no answer how to tackle them.

It is at this point in The Immortals of Meluha that we are introduced to the main protagonist of the book, a nomad warrior named Shiva. Shiva comes to the land of Meluha as a refugee from a village in Tibet along with his clan. However, he is unaware of the fact that he is the man destined to bring peace between Meluha and Swadeep.

This book, has captured the imagination of readers all over, thanks to its amazing plot that blends mythology and history in a beautiful manner. The first book in the Shiva Trilogy is The Immortals of Meluha while the second book is titled as The Secret of the Nagas. These books are a must read for every Indian and for those who love a nice fantasy book.

Amish has also priced this book very reasonably and it can be bought at any leading bookstore. However, if you are from India, it is best to buy this book online from Flipkart which is currently offering a huge discount on The Immortals of Meluha.
