Amish Tripathi simplifies complex, age-old practices of Hinduism and bridges the gap between urbanization and ancient traditions. He presents Gods and Goddesses as humans who have been elevated as a result of their actions and morals in an attempt to destroy the detached outlook humans have adopted to transcendental, cosmic figures.
One thing I didnt like about the novel was the language. The book is said to be set in 1900BC yet everyone talks like they're teenagers in the 21st century. Moreover, Amish has tried to portray Shiva as a witty man with a good sense of humour but most of his jokes are characterized by misogyny and fatphobia.
