My review of the book: The battle of Panchavati and other stories from Indian Scriptures.
The things I like about this book are
(Pros) :
1. This book gives the feeling of the historical lifestyle, power of people, cruelty, and humanity of Kings or people in power.
2. It is necessary to remind from time to time what and who has contributed to People's lives, which imprints we can feel by today, too, up to a greater extent!
3. It also gives a feeling of spirituality.
4. No matter what, few things can't be erased from human minds, and a great example of it is the stories mentioned in this book.
The things I dislike about the book are
( Con's ) :
1. Sometimes, it is difficult to identify the exact story, and this gives rises to conflict, as it is not an original piece of work of history. It is taken from the Vedas and Puranas, written several thousand years ago.
2. "Ram clenched his teeth, his temper rising!" This line is raising the conflict here! As far as I know, Ram is considered a man of peace who is very calm!
Recommended for: those who love mythologies, our Indian culture and history, and who believe in spirituality.
