Overview:
Indra was fully confident now that Vrisha would wrest the priceless information from Menaka. However, he was not going to bask in that much solace. He would leave no stone unturned to trump Vritra fully and finally. His gods never trained for wars. In fact they didn’t want wars at all. Also, with Vidhuma vaporized, he had lost one of his best warriors. He direly needed to rectify that shortfall; a good lieutenant, a fine second commander he could rely on. In Indra: Lord of the Heavens, Indrayani Sawkar takes readers on a breathtaking journey through Indian mythology, weaving together the lives of its most iconic gods and demons. The ancient tale, featuring figures like Vrisha and Vritra, comes alive with a fresh, modern resonance. Sawkar masterfully draws parallels between Indra’s ethos and the power dynamics that shape the world’s politics, making this ancient myth strikingly relevant to contemporary issues of power, ambition, and control.Indra was fully confident now that Vrisha would wrest the priceless information from Menaka.
