Indian mythology is always linked to religious sentiments in general. Here the author takes out the emotional aspects and presents an analytical explanation of the text. More over he presents a comparative reasoning of the text with other well known mythological texts around. Mahabharata was not just a war or a story of Pandava's win over the Kauravas. It's story of a generation or yuga. A time where the same mistakes have been committed again and again by various members of the clan. Every person in the clan supported a different reality of life. It's a story of the dwapara yuga to beginning of the Kali Yuga to be aware and not make similar mistakes. The manner the author has expressed this definitely presents his mastery on this topic.
A book that can change your understanding of the great Indian epic.
