The Genius of Indraprastha (Gondwana Chronicles Book 1) The Genius of Indraprastha (Gondwana Chronicles Book 1) by Harshwardhan

 

Is the rich Aryan past a myth or history?
If it is history, what happened to the rich technological heritage of the Mahabharata times?

Long ago, five native tribes of Aryans, Vaishyas, Garudas, Waanars and Asuras lived together in harmony at Gondwana. Things changed when a foreign force of Khidmatgars attacked. 250 years after the invasion, Khidmatgars are now a formidable force in Gondwana. Led by Commander Bakht Khan, they have successfully tamed all the native tribes except the Aryans. Yet the Commander's desire for conquest is not satiated.

During an unusual conquest of Agneyapuram, Commander accidentally lays his hands on ancient secret of the Mahabharata times - a secret so strong that it can actually help Khidmatgars claim entire Gondwana for themselves. At the same time, a genius Aryan Prince of Indraprashta has vowed to annihilate Khidmatgars from Gondwana using the same secret. What's the secret? Will the Commander be able to tame the Aryans using the secret or shall the genius Aryan prince write the history his way? Gondwana is staring at a war which has the potential to change its fate forever.

Plunge into the epic story of the Vedic past with THE GENIUS OF INDRAPRASHTA.

Reviews:

What I liked about the book is how the author has given logical & scientific reasoning for the so called 'myths' of Vedic times. We get a glimpse of the Vedic culture and the technological advancements of those times. The author has written a well researched plot and you can't help marveling at his creative genius.
The characters are well developed. Both the protagonist Prince Martand and his adversary the Commander are equally strong and fierce characters.
The narrative of Indraprastha War is so engaging. The author has written battle scenes with vivid imagery. The language of the book is simple and yet impactful. This mythological fiction will appeal to readers of all ages. I am really looking forward to the next book in the series.

⁣There are some books that you want to finish as soon as possible but also want the story to move further untill it reveals all its secrets (पढ़ते जाओ,पढ़ते जाओ) at the same time. The Genius Of Indraprastha Is One Such Book. It begins with How Khidmatgars came into play in Gondwana & History of several tribes residing there. Major Portion Of Book Is The Narration Of The Battle Of Indraprastha happened 22 years before the present chaos.⁣⁣⁣⁣

Language Is Ultra Simple so both pro readers and beginniners can immerse themselves to the story thoroughly with ease.The Drawback I Felt was The Lack Strong Female Characters.Yes! There's Not A Single One Here. Hope Author will introduce some in his next books. There's also a tremendous amount of violence present in the book , Cities are being burned, abdomen are being slashed, people are being decapitated, limbs are being pierced. But being always surrounded by a war atmosphere what else you can expect? And the ultimate treat to reader is commander, the so called antagonist of the book. He steals the show everytime he appears.⁣⁣⁣⁣
