This book critically engages with the Mahabharata and tries to understand the social, cultural, political, economic and religious structures of India at the time the Mahabharata is believed to have occurred.

Karve strips away the fantastical and divine layers and exposes the very real humans underneath the myth and mystery. She shows us why despite being such an ancient work of literature, the Mahabharata is still so relevant today.
