Book Review of Raavanputr Meghnad
Raavanputr Meghnad
Author - Kevin Missal
Publisher - @simonandschusterin 📖
📖
Content - Indrajit or as we all know him as Meghnad,the perfect son of the ferocious King, Raavan and the greatest warrior in Ramayana. He grew up knowing only one thing,to be ruthless. He became the conqueror of Amaravati,the capital of the Devas. He had always been the supporter of his father and on his order, he agreed to marry Prameela, the princess of Naaglok, to make the Naaglok their allies in the process of conquering other kingdoms. But he fell in love with her. Prameela knew something that no one else did. The truth behind Sita's abduction.
.
This is the story of Meghnad,his aunt Suparnika and why did she want Raavan, his own brother to be dead and what plan is she plotting to make the whole Lanka Kingdom fall.
.
Read the whole book to know the story and much more.

My Views - This is the retelling of the Ramayana but with a different perspective. It shows us a different side of the ruthless prince Meghnad. His love story, his dutifullness,his respect towards his uncle Kumbhakaran and aunty Meenakshi,his love for his brothers, his helplessness,his eagerness to do the right thing everything is written beautifully. Suparnika and Kumbhakaran's characters are also portrayed differently and the author has also given us a different storyline for the cause of the war between Ram and Raavan. Every character has a different side from the actual story we know and that makes it more interesting to read. Though Hanuman's character was not portrayed properly and we would have loved to see a different aspect of his character as well but the overall narration was good.The love story between Meghnad and Prameela could have been more interesting. Sita's character was also not properly portrayed..
.
The language is simple and the cover design is really intricate and eye catching.
.
Overall a nice retelling. Worth reading but could've been better.
Thanks @simonandschusterin for the copy..
