JAMBUDVIPA-The drift of Bodhidharma by Arpit Bharat

3.0

Jambudvipa is a story set in ancient india, where the story is focused on a warrior prince of mallis who, named yashoddhaman who was clear and tormented with perpetual exotic vision in advance for something bad that is awaiting him in the near future.

Bodhidharma was summoned to train the prince in the warfare , since there is a war coming on their way.

Then there’s a warrior, vasantsena who was rescued from a still spine chilling societal atrocity “sati” by bodhidharma, whose character was designed and developed throughout is quite relatable.

The research the author has done is quite evident from the insights provided in the book throughout about ancient India. somehow somewhere i felt, i was reading a beautiful folklore that no one ever narrated to me.

The story is well crafted with a slow pace, (which was suitable for me) with an engaging and deep narrative. This book, on the whole, makes a good beginner's read from indian folklore and historical fiction genre.
