Abar Mahabharat by Shashi Tharoor [Hardcover]

The backbone of India is 'Mahabharata'. In this extraordinary epic, great characters come to life cherishing in their chests valor, love, alienation, affection, war-peace, justice-injustice. He brought out the eternal melody of India. If the Mahabharata could be brought back to the pre-independence period of the last century, what would happen? Dhritarashtra, Bhishma, Duryodhani, Drona, Pandu, Vidura... Who are they? Not all the great personalities of Indian politics! Gangaji alias Bhishma went on a march, raising the slogan, 'Quiet India'. Looking familiar? Dhritarashtra is blind! He was the first Prime Minister of independent India. Who is he? Or Pandu! Who wants to make an army from abroad to fight against the English? A gripping novel. Clash, lust, heroism and the inner circle of the life of politicians - a fruitful interpretation of two extraordinary ideas.
