Amish Tripathi, The Shiva Trilogy :It is the story of the simple man, whom legend turned into a God. The book is set in 1900 BC, in Meluha a near perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram. We commonly refer to this era as the Indus Valley Civilisation.The proud empire of Suryavanshi rulers faces severe perils as its primary river, the revered Saraswati whose water is used to make Somras or ambrosia is slowly drying to extinction. Suryavanshi’s are surrounded by enemies in the form of the evil Nagas and Chandravanshis.The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend which says that ‘when evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a hero will emerge’. This person is called Shiva – the Neelkanth.
