his tribemates of Gunas to get shifted to Meluha.The Meluha is situated near Harappa, Indus valley.Nandi hails from Meluha.The meaning

of Meluha is a land of pure life.Nandi requests Shiva to help the fellow Meluhans in their fight against their enemies and other

odds.

Lord Ram established Meluha many centuries ago. Meluha happened to be a welathy,prosperous,organized and a perfect kingdom until

particular issues started disturbing its harmony,peace and the perfection. The scarcity of Somras was one of the main problems.
Somras is a water potion which reduces oxidants of the body and helps in increasing the stamina,quality and the longevity of life.

Somras was being prepared by the water of Saraswati.The gradual extinction of Saraswati river was also one of the major worries.On top

of that the repeated attacks by rival Chandravanshis on Suryavanshis with the help of Nagas were the central point of their problems.

Meluhans used to believe that whenever the power of evil would become extreme and reach threshold then they will be saved by a man

Daksh,who was the King of Suryavanshis used to invite various tribes to stay at Meluha to search a saviour for Meluhans. His search

comes to an end when he meets Shiva. The Rest of the story is based on how Shiva stands upto his title of Lord or Mahadev.

Review:

The most likable point about the book is its simple language which makes it a huge success.All the Characters communicate in a

language which is spoken and understood by the common people. The writer did not get overwhelmed with the fact that he was writing for

god like legendary figures.The writer did not assume that the legendary characters should have a very animated language. The writer

even used the words like "shit" and "damn it" very often with the character Shiva. Often, when reading this book you may reach into

the feeling of a trancscendental state.The mesmerizing imagination coupled by the beautiful writing creates a divine effect on the

reader.

All the characetrs are created with perfection. Each single piece of page has its own written screenplays which lures the reader

Charles Mann’s thesis is to educate others on Native Americans because he feels everyone before him was wrong or didn’t do a well enough job finding out the truth. Charles is a very persuasive journalist I think because of all the resources he used and the way he presented it in the book. Throughout the book Mann essentially tries to look into or paint a portrait of what human life was like in the Americas before the arrival of Columbus and the European history in some…
