Battlefield Kurukshetra: An Epic Chronicle of Brothers, Betrayal, and the Balance of the Universe in the 18 day Battle
"In every age, the battlefield changes. But the war within remains the same."
Battlefield Kurukshetra: An Epic Chronicle of Brothers, Betrayal, and the Balance of the Universe in the 18-Day Battle is a bold and immersive retelling of one of the greatest epics in world literature-the Mahabharata. This gripping narrative by Pankaj Sharma takes readers through the intense and dramatic events of the eighteen-day war that changed the fate of the world, one battle at a time.
Through vivid storytelling and emotionally rich prose, this book presents a day-by-day account of the legendary war between the Pandavas and the Kauravas-a clash not only of weapons and warriors, but of ideologies, promises, curses, and karma.
Each chapter delves into the strategic complexity, psychological unraveling, and spiritual undertones that drove each day's events. From the solemn blowing of conches to the night raids filled with dread, every moment is brought to life with reverence, imagination, and dramatic clarity.
