Raavan: The Enemy of Aryavarta is about the underdog, and his story. In this book, Raavan belongs to the Nagas, a hated and cursed tribe (a group that has featured in Amish's books since the Meluha series) and against all odds he becomes the world's wealthiest and most powerful man. There are no judgements here – a man's got to do what he's got to do, as they say – but from the right perspective, this book has the potential to be inspiring to thousands of people struggling to get their lives together. It is also about choices; the ones we make on a moment-­by-moment basis, which weave together the tangible and intangible webs of our lives, practical and spiritual. At every step, Raavan is presented with two options, and his choices determine the course of his life and shape the man he becomes – ruthless and a pawn in the hands of the gods. At 374 pages, Raavan: The Enemy of Aryavarta is a quick and mostly breezy read. Even if you haven't read the previous titles in the series, the disadvantage isn't too great as they're independent stories.
