Book Review by LITEROMA PUBLISHING SERVICES :: ‘Harappa - 3: Battle of Ten Kings’ by Dr. Shankar N Kashyap (9th Review)
** Thanks to the author for gifting us a review copy of the book. **
History and mythology act as the account of multiple battles and war – some are well known and some are less. Many authors attempted writing on the well-known episodes of history but there are hardly a handful of them (with no intention of demeaning their efforts) who attempted writing something on the less known battles and war which changed the way history has been told.
Dr. Shankar Kashyap in this particular book ‘Battle of Ten Kings’ which happens to be the third book of his Harappa trilogy attempts to explore one such battle which changed the fate of entire world for the coming thousand of years. The book narrates one of the less discussed battles from the pages of holy Rigveda which itself is one of the toughest vedic literary instance.
One way of looking at the book is from a purely historical and mythological standpoint. The other way of looking at it can be to understand the dynamics of a historic battle which involved so many different stakeholders. Can we not relate to this even in today’s era?
Whatever be your area of interest, we suggest you to go through this book along with the other books of this trilogy to get a thorough understanding of one of the most important civilizations of the world – the Harappa civilization.
Overall, Literoma rates this book as 4.8*/5* and recommends readers to read the entire trilogy.
