Woven around the fierce eighteen-day war between the Kauravas and the
Pandavas, the Mahabharat is the ultimate Indian epic. Its numerous
characters, intrigues and sub - plots make it a veritable encyclopaedia
of Indian mythology, portraying a society in transition on all fronts.
The narrative is replete with philosophical discourses and wisdom culled
through centuries. No wonder it is said that all that there is in the
world can be found in the Mahabharat and what is not in the Mahabharat
exists nowhere. Noted Hindi poet Neelabh presents his version of the
epic in a style and language suited to contemporary readers.
