Reviews

[Arvind Yerram · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yet another short read but by far the most gripping of all. This book probably is the best which has covered the Mahabharata war so extensively. Day by day, event by event, duel by duel... everything is clearly captured and still avoiding the unwanted duels. I have been under the impression all this while that all the 100 kauravas have been slain by Bheema, we have been told that one person Dushkarna has been killed by Satanika.

I have a request for Sharath: can you list the names of 100 kaurava brothers in the order and the day when they got killed and by whom (if not by Bheem)
