I am lucky to be connected to many others who keep me from being ‘rifted’. For creativity has no greater sustenance than the love and support of others. I’d like to acknowledge some of them. Lord Shiva, my God, for blessing me with this life and all there is in it. Also, for bringing Lord Ram (who my grandfather, Pandit Babulal Tripathi, was a great devotee of) back into my life. Neel, my son, my blessing, my pride, my joy. He gives me happiness by simply being who he is. Preeti, my wife; Bhavna, my sister; Himanshu, my brother-in-law; Anish and Ashish, my brothers, for all their inputs to the story. My sister Bhavna deserves special mention for her dedication and the time she gave while advising me on the philosophies in the book. My wife Preeti deserves my eternal gratefulness, as always, for her brilliant marketing advice. My family: Usha, Vinay, Meeta, Donetta, Shernaz, Smita, Anuj, Ruta. For their consistent faith and love. Sharvani, my editor. We have a strange relationship. Fun and laughter in normal times; we fight with each other passionately when we edit. It’s a match made in heaven! Gautam, Krishnakumar, Preeti, Deepthi, Satish, Varsha, Jayanthi, Vipin, Senthil, Shatrughan, Sarita, Avani, Sanyog, Naveen, Jaisankar, Gururaj, Sateesh and the fantastic team at Westland, my publishers. They have been partners from the beginning. Anuj, my agent. Big man with an even bigger heart! The best friend an author could have. Sangram, Shalini, Parag, Shaista, Rekha, Hrishikesh, Richa, Prasad and the team at Think WhyNot, the advertising agency for the book. They made the cover, which I think is fantastic! They also made most of the marketing material for the book, including the trailer. They are among the best ad agencies in the country. Hemal, Neha and the Oktobuzz team, the social media agency for the book. Hardworking, super smart and intensely committed. They are an asset to any team.

  • Ramayan Ki Kathayen, Pandemic and the Hindu Way of Life and the Contribution of Hindu Women, Amongst Others
    Hindu Sevika Samiti (UK) Mahila Shibir 2020 East and South Midlands Vibhag FOREWORD INSPIRING AND UNPRECEDENTED INITIATIVE In an era of mass consumerism - not only of material goods - but of information, where society continues to be led by dominant and parochial ideas, the struggle to make our stories heard, has been limited. But the tides are slowly turning and is being led by the collaborative strength of empowered Hindu women from within our community. The Covid-19 pandemic has at once forced us to cancel our core programs - which for decades had brought us together to pursue our mission to develop value-based leaders - but also allowed us the opportunity to collaborate in other, more innovative ways. It gives me immense pride that Hindu Sevika Samiti (UK) have set a new precedent for the trajectory of our work. As a follow up to the successful Mahila Shibirs in seven vibhags attended by over 500 participants, 342 Mahila sevikas came together to write 411 articles on seven different topics which will be presented in the form of seven e-books. I am very delighted to launch this collection which explores topics such as: The uniqueness of Bharat, Ramayan ki Kathayen, Pandemic and the Hindu way of life and The contribution of Hindu women, amongst others. From writing to editing, content checking to proofreading, the entire project was conducted by our Sevikas. This project has revealed hidden talents of many mahilas in writing essays and articles. We hope that these skills are further encouraged and nurtured to become good writers which our community badly lacks.

Abstract: Valmiki’s Ramayana and most other versions depict Ram as Lord Vishnu’s earthly incarnation. But, Amish in his “Scion of Ikshvaku” has completely humanised not merely Ram but also the environment in which he is born. Ayodhya is in shambles and is rife with court intrigues. Born to the displeasure of his own father, Dasharath, and disliked by both the elite and the masses of Ayodhya, Ram faces the hurt and humiliation stoically and yet wins over everyone’s hearts. He prepares himself for shouldering the responsibility that Guru Vasishtha predicts will ultimately fall on him. Amish exploits this milieu to provoke debate on current issues, ideologies, schools of thought and perspectives, challenges and dilemmas regarding political views, the role of the State, law, crime and punishment, the caste system, women’s empowerment and environmental conservation in a brilliant manoeuvre making it more relatable to contemporary times.

  • 2019 Political and Cultural Discourse in Amish Tripathi's
    Volume: II, Issue: II ISSN: 2581-5857 An International Peer-Reviewed GAP BODHI TARU - Open Access Journal of Humanities POLITICAL AND CULTURAL DISCOURSE IN AMISH TRIPATHI’S SCION OF IKSVAKU Dr. Dushyant Nimavat Associate Professor Department of English Gujarat University Abstract Modern Indian English literature in English has seen a lot of exploration in the field of mythology. In Indian culture, there are two powerful works that talks of varied aspects of politics- The Mahabharat and The Ramayan. Writers have always been fascinated by these two great works of India. They have tried to analyze mythology in various ways. The present paper focuses on the political and cultural discourse emerging in Amish Tripathi’s Scion of IKSVAKU. Amish has knack of reinterpreting mythology in reference to the current socio-political scenario. He does the same in Scion of IKSVAKU and brings in many political and cultural issues discussed in the course of a very well-known story of The Ramayan. Key words: Mythology, Indian English Literature, Amish Tripathi, Politics, Cultural Discourse Amish Tripathi is an Indian English author who won accolades for his ‘Shiva Triology’. He has been a best seller with his The Immortals of Meluha and other two books – The Secret of Nagas and The Oath of the Vayuputras. Amish was born on 18th October 1974. He studied at St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai and IIM Kolkata. He had received several awards as a young literary writer. The Shiva trilogy is a fantasy and reimagining of Lord Shiva and his adventures. Amish calls himself a devotee of Lord Shiva but his religious beliefs are liberal and secular.
