1900 BC. In what modern Indians mistakenly call the Indus Valley Civilisation.
The inhabitants of that period called it the land of Meluha ? a near perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram, one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived.
This once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe perils as its primary river, the revered Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction. They also face devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. To make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appear to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracised and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills.
The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: ?When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a hero will emerge.?
Is the rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva, really that hero?
And does he want to be that hero at all?
Drawn suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love, will Shiva lead the Suryavanshi vengeance and destroy evil?
This is the first book in a trilogy on Shiva, the simple man whose karma re-cast him as our Mahadev, the God of Gods.

Review
Today, Shiva is a god. But four thousand years ago, he was just a man. 1900 BC: the once-proud Suryavanshi rulers of the Meluha Empire are in dire peril. The empire's primary river, the Saraswati, is slowly drying up. There are devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis - and to make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appears to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracised race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills. The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient prophecy: when evil reaches epic proportions and all seems lost, a hero will emerge...

The story's relatability lies in the portrayal of the protagonist, Shiva. A rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant, Shiva's internal struggle between destiny, duty, and love resonates with the modern reader. This relatability adds depth to the character and allows readers to connect with his journey on a personal level.
Amish's writing style is engaging and seamlessly blends historical and mythological elements. The intricate setup of the world and the political turmoil of Meluha paint a vivid picture of the era. The fusion of historical details with mythical elements creates a unique reading experience that keeps you hooked.
"The Immortals of Meluha" is an intriguing mix of history, mythology, and adventure. It presents a fresh perspective on ancient legends and questions the essence of heroism. The book's ability to transport readers to a bygone era, coupled with its relatable characters and engaging narrative, make it a remarkable read. Personally, I expected a blend of mythology and history, and the book exceeded my expectations by adding an element of suspense and intrigue. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a unique spin on mythology and history, intertwined with a captivating tale of heroism and destiny.

Amish Tripathi's 1st book and his writing is addictive nice characters and plot
🌼This series has 3 books in it :
First is The Immortals of Meluha, second is The Secret of the Nagas and the third one is The Oath of the Vayuputras.
🌼I never had such a huge crush on a fiction character. The part where Amish describes about Shiva dancing was beautiful which eventually got me crazy. And you know its a great book when you can see the story as though its happening right in front of you. This book is beautifully written and as you are on the verge of finishing this book, the end puts you into this suspense and restlessness as to what the second book holds. This book makes you helpless and puts you into a hype to read the next book to solve the mystery and thats what exactly happened with me .
Im so glad to have read this book. As a child I always thought if the ones we worship were normal humans like us how would their life be? And the author has got my imagination in this book.
