The immortals of melhua or Confusions of amish
The author has leisurely taken the fact that everyone at least in India has seen or possessed the picture or idol of lord Shiva and there fore there is no need of giving detailed description of him physically or characterwise as a human being. He is simply portrayed as a robust marijuana smoking chief of some primitive tribe in a faraway land. There is not even any attempt of creating any trace of emotional bonding (forget about any spiritualbonding ) between the characters and the reader. The book from the start just gives u a feeling of comic amusing only to children who have never been exposed to any mythology or history.
The word Shiva in itself is so profound and big not only in Hindu mythology but in the whole mystic world that its context in itself mesmerizes the person without any effort. The author has just exploited this fact for his own good. He has actually slaughtered the history as well as mythology into pieces and then sew them back in his own way in the same way as some naturalists used to do to animals in post Darwin era for alms from kings portraying them as new species. This is really like making a freak and then marketing and showcasing it.
The immortals of melhua or confusions of amish ?
The immortals of melhua was a book I picked after a long time of abstinence from reading( due to many confusions in life). I was hoping to read some fresh mature detailed researched aspects about Shiva wrapped in fiction as a story. But alas it turned out to be really a disgusting taste for my appetite.
To be continued.
