About The Book Taking you back to 1900 BC, this book chronicles what most of us today incorrectly call the Indus Valley Civilisation. Meluhache Mrityunjay (The Immortals of Meluha-Marathi) is centered around the land of Meluha and the mythological monarchs who ruled it. Portrayed as an almost ideal kingdom, Meluha was ruled by Lord Ram, believed to be one of the greatest emperors of the time. Author Amish Tripathi narrates the many perils this once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers had to face. With devastating attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis, as well as the extinction of their primary river Saraswati at hand, they are bombarded with troubles from all sides. As an added disadvantage, an ostracized and sinister race of deformed humans with confounding martial skills - the Nagas, seem to have partnered with the Chandravanshis in their aggression. At this point, the book Meluhache Mrityunjay (The Immortals of Meluha-Marathi) demonstrates the Suryavanshis' belief in the ancient legend which says that a hero will emerge when all hope is lost. The mystery remains to be solved whether that hero is the rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant - Shiva. It is also unclear if he has any intentions of being that hero. Seemingly drawn towards what is destined for him, out of dutifulness as well as passion, will Shiva lead the Suryavanshis to victory? Meluhache Mrityunjay (The Immortals of Meluha-Marathi) is the first in a trilogy about Shiva and was published on 1 July 2012. It is available in paperback. Key Features This book accounts the dangers overcome by the Suryavanshi rulers during their hardest times, with the help of Shiva. It revolves around Hindu mythology.
