AJAYA: Epic of the KAURAVA Clan - book 1 Roll Of The Dice

                   

The book Ajaya the roll of dice is about the Mahabharata. The world’s longest poem which has about 2,20,000 lines. Mahabharata is a story that we all have read and understood but Mahabharata was wrote from the view of the Pandavas but in this book the writer Anand Neelakantan has written the story from the view of the Kauravas. In the starting the malayalee author introduces himself and he writes about why he has chosen to write the book from the view of the Kauravas. He tells about a village and a temple in Poruvazhy village, Kerala which has none other than the most reviled villain of the Indian mythology Duryodhana. The book starts when the Governor General of Hastinapur Bhism comes to attack the city of Gandhara and Takes Gandhari and Shakuni to Hastinapur. After that the story begins when Kaurava Prince Suyodhana or Duryodhana is being chased by the Pandava Prince Bhima. This book only tells about what the Kauravas are doing but it is very interesting to read. The writer has used many hard words so I recommend this book to all children above thirteen years of age. This book really changed my colour I was a huge fan of the Pandavas, Arjun and Krishna but after reading this book I thought I was on the wrong side now I also like Suyodhana. I prefer using Suyodhana than Duryodhana because Duryodhana means ‘one who does not know how to use weapons or power’ because Suyodhana can fight bravely and he can fight with the mace as good as Bhima does. This book also tells the stories of Karna and Ekalavya. This book really touches the heart. The book ends when the Pandava Prince Yudhistara loses in the dice game and when Dushasana goes to bring Panchali or Draupadi who is in the Pandava city Indraprastha. I am so excited that the writer is going to release the next part of the book that is book number 2 in august this year. This book is published by Platinum Press and cost Rs 299 the cover page is done by Urvi Dutt Vashistha and layouts by Ajay Shah. I ask all my friends to read this fantastic piece of art and do please send me comments after reading this book.
