The Mahabharata meets modern Indian history in an intellectual roller coaster ride of a novel In Shashi Tharoor’s satirical masterpiece, the story of the Mahabharata is retold as recent Indian history, and renowned political personalities begin to resemble characters from the Mahabharata—all of whom have a curious and ambiguous relationship with Draupadi Mokrasi (D. Mokrasi for short) . . . Brimming with incisive wit and as enjoyable a read as it is cerebrally stimulating, The Great Indian Novel brilliantly retells reality as myth.
Shashi Tharoor is the bestselling author of twenty-four books, both fiction and non-fiction, besides being a noted critic and columnist. His books include The Great Indian Novel, India: From Midnight to the Millennium and Beyond, An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India, The New World Disorder and the Indian Imperative (co-authored with Samir Saran), The Paradoxical Prime Minister: Narendra Modi and His India, Why I Am a Hindu, The Hindu Way: An Introduction to Hinduism, The Battle of Belonging: On Nationalism, Patriotism, and What It Means to Be Indian, and, most recently, Pride, Prejudice, and Punditry: The Essential Shashi Tharoor.
