However, many successful mythological books down the line, Amish is by now clearly past-master at potentially problematic plot niggles. The sinister Naga warrior has killed his friend Brahaspati and now stalks his wife Sati. After having written a historical fiction on Rani Lakshmibai, I am well aware of the difficulties in telling a story already well known. secret-of-the-nagas-the-shiva-trilogy-book-2-engl 2/13 Downloaded from on Maby guest The Secret of the Nagas (Shiva Trilogy Book 2) Amish Tripathi 2022-11 Today, He is a God. As her future husband Ram is also being trained to take on the title of Vishnu by Vishwamitra's rival Guru Vashishta, one wonders how Amish will reconcile such narrative difficulties and also manage to get the pair married off happily. It is his idea to groom her into becoming the 'Vishnu' whose duty it will be to lead the country's dharma. Sita grows into a young warrior whose talent and potential is recognised by Guru Vishwamitra early on. In this book, we first see Sita as a tiny foundling being guarded by a vulture and discovered by the King and Queen of Mithila who rescue her and then bring her up as their daughter. While the essential story would be familiar to most Indians, I am very pleased to say that Amish gives us a Sita far removed from the demure, duty-bound creature of numerous syrupy text and screen versions, far removed it has to be said from Valmiki's original story which depicted both Ram and Sita in far more nuanced and human fashion.
