MAHABHARATA: A Hilarious Tale of Divine Drama, Cousin Rivalry, Battlefield Bloopers (The Mahabharata Series: Retellings, Reflections, and Revelations) by Pankaj Sharma

Product Description You’ve heard of the Mahabharata—the grand Indian epic that brims with gods, kings, celestial weapons, philosophical dialogues, and an 18-day war that makes Game of Thrones look like a schoolyard squabble.

Welcome to Mahabharata: A Hilarious Tale of Divine Drama, Cousin Rivalry, Battlefield Bloopers—a bold, witty, and uproariously entertaining retelling of one of the world’s greatest epics.

Karna, the loyal and noble soul forever stuck in the worst friend circle imaginable. Read more
