The hidden Hindu by Akshat Gupta

 "The hidden Hindu" by Akshat Gupta - Its not a religious book! 

This book is published by Penguin eBurry press in 2022 and has 256 pages. This is Book 1 of the trilogy.

A secret facility in Ross Island of the coast of India. There are various personalities. Shahista, a psychologist. LSD (Lisa), a hacker. Dr. Batra, the second in command. Dr. Srinivas, chief of the facility. Veerabhadra, head of security. An expert of Hindu mythology. Parimal, a stammering history professor . Om Shastri, who claims to be Sushen of Ramayana, Vidur of Mahabharata, Banda Bahadur and many more. A man who never dies.

Is it possible in this modern age? Can any one live forever? Who has captured Om Shastri? Why?

The book is interesting. Immorality always is. But how can one look the same since the time of Ramayana? Why doesn’t he age? Almost entire story happens on an island south of southern tip of India. But the story keeps you interested. 

Well, it’s a trilogy. So, not all the things are clear in this book. But we know it’s about immortality. It’s about Mritt Sanjeevani. Immortals Parshuram and Ashwathhama are introduced. Will the other immortals come in the subsequent books?

I had seen this book from afar but never tried to read thinking it’s a religious book. But it isn’t. It’s a mythological fiction.

Why did I read this book? Interesting title. 

What did I like? Build up. 

What I didn't like? Umm…. 

Recommend reading if you plan to read the series.
