Description
Amit has been iconoclastic about stories a civilization tells itself (myths) in the language of the young generation...Mutants & Clones. Saying that Ramayan is a patriarchal response to Mahabharat...is going to create a lot of interesting debate.
LORD MEGHNAD DESAI
This is a thin book but it contains dynamite. A nonconformist reinterpretation of Mahabharat, Ramayan & Krishna.
JAYANTA GHOSAL
What has shaped Indian thinking for 5000 years? Why was Mahabharata written? Was Rama a historical character?
"Sometimes the story behind the story is more important than the story itself."
Avik, a London-based Architect believes that mythology is misrepresented history. Myths are sacred and should not be questioned.
Vivek, a Delhi based Entrepreneur, who has no reverence for mythology. He interprets everything with his “Context lens”.
"The Truth about Myths" is a journey across time with two drunk men. What starts as a friendly chat, soon leads to perspectives that are surprisingly pleasing, sometimes shocking and eventually most sinister. A conspiracy of epic proportions that’s playing out in our lives every day.
In a search spanning 10,000 years of human history, it explores the truths never connected earlier. The book is a concoction of reality, anthropology, technology, and myths. It’s a potion so potent that once tasted, the reader will never be the same again.
