I think to really understand all that is going on in this work; to truly grasp its depth, one needs to be familiar with, The Mahabharata. Unfortunately, I am not, so I am left with approaching this review the only way I know how.
I may not be familiar with Eastern legends and mythology, but I could not help but notice some parallels to Greek legends and mythology. In particular that of Odysseus, who like Arjun was the only one who could wield his bow. Both are great heroes. And that of Helen of Troy... her suitors in comparison to Draupadi. In actuality, as Homer's work is that of an epic poem, I could not help but think of Dr. Shinde's work in the same way.
The writing is excellent and the style is unique. The one thing I would change, is to have some kind of introduction to the mythology behind the story. But, I'm sure that others may not deem it necessary. Dr. Shinde does highlight some of it at the end of the book, but it was too little too late for me at that point. I think it's possible that there is simply too much to grasp in one setting/read.
