Dear sir, 'Chathurvarnyam maya sristam' these were the words of Krishna. He is considered to be an avatar of Vishnu but how can he be if he wants a war??How can he side with Pandavas when such generous hearted prince is on the other side?? I hope that my questions will be answered in "rise of Kali'. I loved your book and i think every one who supports Pandavas blindly should read it.

Thank you Maneesha and sorry for the delay in answering your question.
What I am presenting is a view point, a possibility. It is how Mahabharata would look like if Duryodhana had won the war.
Regarding Krishna being an avatar of Vishnu- wanting a war cannot be a reason for being a god or not being a god. In fact, except for Budha and Mahavira, all our holy men and Avatars had fought in wars, one time or another

Anand, Like Asura, Ajaya has been a great read. Few chapters towards the end are very moving and heartbreaking. My favourite has to be the one where Maya is thrown out of the beautiful city he just built. His curse is perhaps a nod to the current state of affairs in Delhi. Loved the book and looking forward to the "Rise of Kali", is there a release date which has been finalised?
