| General note | Approximately 3,500 years old, The Mahabharata is a tale that embellishes the triumph of right over wrong, truth over lies, and good over evil. The Mahabharata and The Ramayana are the roots of the religious and cultural heritage of India.<br/>The Mahabharata is the story of two branches of a certain family, the Pandavas and the Kauravas, which turn against each other through strange twists of fate. This enmity and bitterness results in an 18-day war, which is waged at Kurukshetra, a district in the state of Haryana in modern day India. Lord Krishna, one of the most important Hindu deities, plays a key role in deciding the fate of the war when he sees Arjuna facing the terrible dilemma of waging a war against his loved ones.<br/>R.K Narayan's direct and simplistic writing makes The Mahabharata a great read and sheds even more light onto the characters that make the epic what it is. The tales of nobility, greed, hatred, love, sorrow, and sacrifice are wonderfully weaved and re-told by the writer. |
