  • Summary

He has been active in print, television, and web journalism for the past two decades. In this episode, we are discussing with him about his book 'Shakuni- Master of the Game'. Link to Shakuni: https://amzn.to/2CnG7QJ In this interview, Ashutosh told us that most of the characters of Mahabharat are grey but we either portray them as black or white. Shakuni is one such character. He was the main strategist of the Kauravas. But if we go through all the literature of Mahabharat available, we will find that there hasn't been much written about Shakuni. Since ages his voice is unheard and he hasn't got the opportunity to present his point. Ashutosh's book is not presenting Shakuni as a hero but is very successful in depicting the story of Shakuni from the point of view of Shakuni. Shakuni- Master of Game is intriguing and a must-read. Threatened by the formidable Kuru dynasty, the kingdom of Gandhara is forced to marry off its princess to the blind king of Kuru, Dhritarashtra. Enraged by this defeat, shaken, the heir to the Gandhara kingdom, vows to seek revenge. He uses the Kauravas and Pandavas as Pawns in a cleverly crafted game of deceit and destruction and watches as the mighty Kuru kingdom crumbles. Told through the gripping perspective of shakti, this retelling of the Mahabharata asks the burning question –was Shakuni really the vilest of all villains or the victim of a grave injustice?.
