Mahabharata- Unheard Voices | A collection of stories

Some say the Kurukshetra war between the Pandavas and the Kauravas would never have happened if not for a few flawed characters – vengeful Ashwatthama, meek Uttaraa, cold-blooded Shakuni, callous Gandhari and biased Vidura.

But who decides who is good and who is not?

How can we judge the actions of a person whose real story we do not know?

Packed with wisdom,  compassion and intrigue, this exquisitely written book by 13-year-old prodigy Aashritha Surya Prakash, complemented with outstanding illustrations by Pooja Saklani, shows us through this age-old epic just how important it is to listen to someone’s story before judging them.

“With this book, I aim to show that nobody is completely bad or good. However, life isn’t like that. We have different shades to our personalities,” says the young author.
