Ajaya Duryodhana?s Mahabharata - Collector?s Edition

Roll of Dice and Rise of Kali of the Ajaya series now together in this special collectors edition THE MAHABHARATA ENDURES AS THE GREAT EPIC OF INDIA. Every Indian has grown up conditioned to the view that the Pandavas were virtuous and wronged; and the Kauravas were manipulative and evil. On a visit to Malanada Temple Kerala national bestselling author of ASURA Anand Neelakantan discovered the temple deity to be none other than Duryodhanan the ostensible villain of the Mahabharata. This astonishing discovery prompted him to delve deep into the narrative of the defeated Crown Prince of Hastinapura and the Kaurava clan. Ajaya challenges established views and compels us to think again. The book is all about the power of perception. It retells with compelling credibility the epic events from Duryodhans (given name: Suryodhana) point of view. While Jaya is the story of the Pandavas told from the perspective of the victors of Kurukshetra; Ajaya is the narrative of the unconquerable Kauravas who were decimated to the last man. At the heart of Indias most powerful empire a revolution is brewing. Bhishma the noble patriarch of Hastinapura is struggling to maintain the unity of his empire. On the throne sits Dhritarashtra the blind King and his foreign-born Queen – Gandhari. In the shadow of the throne stands Kunti the Dowager-Queen burning with ambition to see her firstborn become the ruler acknowledged by all. Amidst the chaos Prince Suyodhana heir of Hastinapura stands tall determined to claim his birthright and act according to his conscience. He is the maker of his own destiny – or so he believes. While in the corridors of the Hastinapura palace a foreign Prince plots to destroy India.
