This is a thin book but it contains dynamite. A nonconformist reinterpretation of Mahabharat, Ramayan & Krishna.

Amit has been iconoclastic about stories a civilisation tells itself (myths) in the language of the young generation...Mutants & Clones.
Saying that Ramayan is a patriarchal response to Mahabharat...is going to create a lot of interesting debate.

EMINENT ECONOMIST & AUTHOR



Amit has made a bold attempt to de-layer three big books in the language that the Gen-X would relate to. He has brought in the ideas of Gender Justice and equity...while using Mutants and clones.

What has shaped Indian thinking for 5000 years?
Why was Mahabharata written?
Was Rama a historical character?



Avik, a London based Architect believes that mythology is misrepresented history. Myths are sacred and should not be questioned.
Vivek, a Delhi based Entrepreneur, who has no reverence for mythology. He interprets everything with his “Context lens”.
"The Truth about Myths" is a journey across time with two drunk men. What starts as a friendly chat, soon leads to perspectives that are surprisingly pleasing, sometimes shocking and eventually most sinister. A conspiracy of epic proportions that’s playing out in our lives every day.
In a search spanning 5,000 years of human history, it explores the truths never connected earlier. It’s a potion so potent that once tasted, the reader will never be the same again.
