The Immortals of Meluha (Hindi) by Amish Tripathi [steve-kon]

The Hindi translation of the popular Indian bestseller 'Immortals of Meluha’, 'Meluha Ke Mritunjay’ is set in 1900 BC, during the time of Indus Valley Civilization and revolves around the lives of the men who inhabited the land of Meluha back then—the 'Suryavanshi’.

The first part of the Shiva Trilogy, this book is about the legend of Lord Shiva and the Hindu concept of Karma. The story starts with the Suryavanshis being petrified of an impending disaster—their only source of water, River Saraswati, running dry. In addition to this, their neighbours Chandravanshis are also preparing an attack with the help of Nagas. The sole hope that sustains them is that of an age-old legend that promises their safety with the help of an unknown warrior.

Is Shiva the warrior they had been waiting for since ages? Will he able to save him? Published in 2011, the novel provides an intriguing answer to all these and many more
