About this ebook

यही तो विडंबना है कि तू सूर्यपुत्र होकर भी स्वयं को सूतपुत्र समझता है; राधेय समझता है; किंतु तू है वास्तव में कौंतेय। तेरी मां कुंती है।'' इतना कहकर वह रहस्यमय हंसी हंसने लगा। थोड़ी देर बाद उसने कुछ संकेतों और कुछ शब्दों के माध्यम से मेरे जन्म की कथा बताई।
''मुझे विश्वास नहीं होता; माधव!'' मैंने कहा। ''मैं समझ रहा था कि तुम विश्वास नहीं कसेगे। किंतु यह भलीभाति जानी कि कृष्ण राजनीतिक हो सकता है; पर अविश्वस्त नहीं। ''उसने अपनी मायत्वी हँसी में घोलकर एक रहस्यमय पहेली मुझे पिलानी चाही; चो सरलता से मेरे गले के नीचे उतर नहीं रही थी। वह अपने प्रभावी स्वर में बोलता गया; ''तुम कुंतीपुत्र हो। यह उतना ही सत्य है जितना यह कहना कि इस समय दिन है; जितना यह कहना कि मनुष्य मरणधर्मा है; जितना यह कहना कि विजय अन्याय की नहीं बल्कि न्याय की होती है।''
''तो क्या मैं क्षत्रिय हूँ?'' एक संशय मेरे मन में अँगड़ाई लेने लगा; 'आचार्य परशुराम ने भी तो कहा था कि भगवान् भूल नहीं कर सकता। तू कहीं-न- कहीं मूल में क्षत्रिय है। जब लोगों ने सूतपुत्र कहकर मेरा अपमान क्यों किया?' मेरा मनस्ताप मुखरित हुआ; ''जब मैं कुंतीपुत्र था तो संसार ने मुझे सूतपुत्र कहकर मेरी भर्त्सना क्यों की?''
''यह तुम संसार से पूछो। ''हँसते हुए कृष्ण ने उत्तर दिया।
''और जब संसार मेरी भर्त्सना कर रहा था तब कुंती ने उसका विरोध क्यों नहीं किया?''

About the author

Manu Sharma's compelling Mahabharata Retelling presents a unique Karna Autobiography, diving deep into Karna's Story from a singular Karna Perspective. This immersive Indian Epic Fiction explores Ancient Indian Life, starkly portraying the impact of the Caste System India, the pervasive Social Stigma faced by the Sutaputra, and the harsh realities of Caste Discrimination India. The narrative traces Karna's arduous Warrior Journey and Warrior Life, chronicling his path from a humble Rural India Setting and the love of his Foster Family, Adhiratha Radha, to his Ambition Rise and eventual coronation as Anga King. The book vividly captures the intrigue of Hastinapur Politics and broader Ancient Politics, focusing on Karna's pivotal Duryodhana Friendship and the intense Pandavas Rivalry. Key events are recounted, including the dramatic Draupadi Swayamvar, the infamous Dice Game Loss with its devastating Dice Game Consequence, and the bitter Draupadi Humiliation that fuels Vengeance Motivation. Sharma weaves in the influence of significant Mahabharata Characters such as Guru Drona Training, Guru Kripa, Shakuni Influence, Vidura Counsel, and highlights Bhishma Role in the unfolding Epic Narrative. Karna's Identity Struggle forms the emotional core, grappling with the burden of his Kunti Secret and the mystery of his Fate and Destiny. His pursuit of mastery leads him to Ashram Life, rigorous Weapon Training, seeking guidance that ultimately results in the legendary Parasurama Curse. The text also subtly includes the parallel Ekalavya Story, further illustrating the injustices of the Indian Caste system. This Mythological Novel is a powerful Indian Myth Retelling that delves into Ancient Indian Combat, Royal Succession Drama, and the complex interplay of Dharma Duty versus political expediency, questioning traditional notions of Dharma vs Politics. It offers a profound Character Study, contrasting Rural vs Royal Life and featuring the mythological significance of the Ganga River Story. Set against the backdrop hinting at the eventual Kurukshetra War Context, this Hindi Historical Fiction reimagines Indian Royalty and the enduring consequences of Loyalty and Betrayal, making it a compelling Mahabharata Reimagined.
