A good perspective to our Ancient History
Off late there is a lot of research being done and lot of material that is surfacing that given evidences of our glorious past which was deliberately suppressed/destroyed by the Muslim/Christian Rulers that ruled our country for 1000 yrs.
This book has made a terrific attempt to give a view into our past with scientific evidences and logical inferences. The expansion of civilizations and their strong connections to Indian past are just brilliant and it was very interesting to read.
I would have preferred to read it as a documentary or a research styled article rather than a thriller where people are on the chase and keep discussing science and history.
The narrative is clearly inspired from Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, Lost Symbol where there are mysterious killings and only one man can decipher the reasons.
The story of Krishna written in self narrative style was very nice. I expected more details towards the end after Gandhari curses Krishna.
Minus the story of the protagonist and people chasing him, I would definitely recommend this book to be read by school and college kids so that they get a a view of the actual history is instead of the popular published history.
I bought this book to read while I would travel, and it kept me busy throughout and making my journey easy. I would look forward for more from Ashwin.
