Anu, there was this one thing constantly buzzing me. In The Asura's Curse, why Nazis? What is their connection to India?

Hello Shyam Jha!

It’s one of those strange, unsettling truths buried in history.

In the 1930s and 40s, parts of the Nazi regime developed a fixation with ancient India. Certain factions—particularly under Heinrich Himmler and the SS—were determined to trace what they believed was the origin of the so-called “Aryan race.” They thought those roots lay in Indian mythology and Sanskrit texts. German researchers were even sent to South Asia and Tibet, digging into old manuscripts, symbols, and legends—trying to use them to support their twisted theories.

When I stumbled across this during my research, I was shocked. It felt like a part of history no one really talks about—and it raised a big “what if?” That question became the spark behind The Asura’s Curse.

By the way, the man Egon von Eickstedt—mentioned in the book—is real. You can search the internet if you’d like to know more about him.

Had you heard of the Nazi connection to India before? Did it surprise you too? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

It was an enjoyable read. Congratulations! Anu, I do have a question. Why do you focus on the defeated what’s the motivation?

Thanks so much—I’m really happy you enjoyed the book!

I’m drawn to the stories of the defeated because they often show something more real and complicated than the stories of the winners. While researching The Asura’s Curse, I kept coming across these forgotten voices—people who faced loss and struggle. Their stories felt raw and honest, and I wanted to bring that to life in my writing.

For me, focusing on the defeated is about shining a light on those hidden moments of courage and resilience. Those are the stories that stick with me long after I finish a book.

Have you ever been drawn to stories about the underdog or those who get overlooked? I’d love to hear your thoughts—maybe I’ll get some ideas for my next book!
