On #WorldBookDay, I add three more books by authors (I included) who see the #Mahabarata as a canvas on which to paint their own pictures.

After Kurukshetra, by Mahasweta Devi, translated by Anjum Katyal.
Just 54 pages long but the poignancy of these three short stories etch them into our souls forever.

The #Mahabharata, by N.V. Thadani.
True, this great text is as much an itihas as it is a symbol.
And if you want to study the symbolism, read this intense intellectual study.

Finally, a self-plug: Tunnel of Varanavat -- my retelling of the Palace of Lak incident.
