Book of the month: Janya Bharata: The War by Manu Nellutla
Come meet the author! Manu Nellutla will be joining us for this month's meeting to discuss his book and sign hardcopies. Follow him on instagram @manu_nellutla.
The Ustrakarnikas had always been wary of being drawn into the conflict between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, especially after the Kalingas invited them to a training camp north of the Vindhyas. Their concerns materialized when Krishna's peace efforts failed, and they were summoned to Kurukshetra. Mitrajit, who only desired a peaceful life with his wife and daughter, now faces an impossible choice between his dharma and his family. How will the Kuru royal war impact his life and tribe?
Dive into an exhilarating journey through the Kurukshetra War, experienced not by kings and princes, but by a commoner, his family, and his tribe. "Janya Bharata: The War" offers a never-before-seen perspective on the epic Mahabharata, focusing on the lives of ordinary people. This historical fiction, a commoner's epic, is penned by Manu Nellutla, recognized as one of the Top 50 Most Influential Writers of 2022 by Delhi Wire. Discover the newly revised Janya Bharata, crafted for a superior reading experience.
