Title - The Greatest Battle of Culture
Author - Panigrahi Bethi
Genre - Fiction
Publisher - Notion Press
ISBN - 979-8894753201

This is one of the unique books I have come across till date. This book encapsulates the former civilizations and brought in a unique blend of what had happened during those days. The ones we are discussing here is none other than the Aryan and Dravidian Civilizations.

It all begins with Baguhara, the Harappan Chief who had a beautiu daughter Princess Armita. Initially when Aryans comes to their place, she develops a liking towards Purusha but had to marry Bharadwaja later due to political circumstances. Maharudra is born later for her.

Harappans were friendly who had a great learning and wisdom with a deep understanding of nture and the mysteries of the world whereas Aryans who comes to their place gets overwhelmed by the abundance of riches and the way the civilization was built and developed.

Purusha, even though an Aryan never had any bad intentions. He was accompanied by Ashwin and Varuna. They believed that Aryan and Harappan culture could co-exist creating a more vibrant environment but what happens later destroys the hope and faith.

I was surprised to see a Sanskrit poem in page 49 which had perfectly blended with this novel.

There were other characters like Dabira - Chief Advisor of Baguhara and Rishasad - Baguhara's Military leader. He defeats Chamba who unleashed attack on Aryans. 

Indrasena emerges as a strong Aryan leader and political movements starts shifting.

While all these were happening in the North, Nannay and his followers embark on their journey to the South and settles there. They build a civilization who were called as Dravidians.

The story brings out the intricate details of both the civilizations with a blend of other epics from India which is a great attempt by the author to make the Indians in the West to understand or be aware of some of the greatest thoughts that had been imbibed in our epics. This attempt should be truly appreciated since one should not forget the roots they have come from.

Read this book and refer to your friends and family members especially to those who were born and brought up in the West to understand the greatness of Indian History and its Culture.



This book is available on Amazon in both paperback and ebook formats.

Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?

We have always had a debate when it comes to the topic - "Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?" The ideas differ from person to person. If you ask me, I would surely say that Studying Abroad is certainly a boon. Why is that? India is home to many universities which are known worldwide. Having said that, we must also accept the fact that none of them are in Top 20 at least. While there are many factors that attributes to this, when a person has the means to afford it combined with interest and talent, I do not see the reason as to why one shouldn't be educated abroad? While few study for their status symbol, majority of them predominantly study abroad to enhance their career. There is no doubt in it. Take a look at this brilliant video before we could proceed further. Having said that, the option isn't available to all who wanted to go out of India. The major hindrance for us is clearing the English tests which were being conducted across the glob...
