The Immortals of Meluha, written by Amish Tripathi, is a work of fiction set in an imaginative historical context. The novel is part of the Shiva Trilogy and presents a narrative that blends mythology and history, revolving around the life of Lord Shiva.
While the book draws inspirations from ancient Indian texts and philosophical ideas, it does not depict actual historical events or figures. The characters and plot are woven from the author’s interpretation of various myths and cultural elements, transformed into a modern tale. Therefore, it should be understood as a mythological fiction rather than a true story.
Tripathi’s engaging storytelling invokes the rich tapestry of Indian mythology, making readers ponder themes of good versus evil, duty, and destiny, but it remains a fictional retelling rather than a historical account.
