About this listen
The Mahabharata endures as the great epic of India.
While Jaya is the story of the Pandavas, told from the perspective of the victors of Kurukshetra, Ajaya is the tale of the Kauravas, who were decimated to the last man.
From the pen of the author who gave voice to Ravana in the national best seller Asura comes the riveting narrative which compels us to question the truth behind the Mahabharata.
The dark age of Kali is rising, and every man and woman must choose between duty and conscience, honour and shame, life and death....
The Pandavas, banished to the forest following the disastrous games of dice, return to Hastinapura. Draupadi has vowed not to bind her hair till she washes it in the blood of the Kauravas. Karna must choose between loyalty and gratitude, friend and Guru. Aswathama undertakes a perilous mission to the mountains of Gandhara, in search of the Evil One. Kunti must decide between her firstborn and her other sons. Guru Drona has to stand with either his favourite disciple or his beloved son. Balarama, having failed to convince his brother about the adharma of violence, walks the streets of Bharatavarsha, spreading the message of peace. Ekalavya is called to make the ultimate sacrifice to uphold a woman’s honour. Jara, the beggar, sings of Krishna’s love while his blind dog, Dharma, follows. Shakuni can almost see the realization of his dream to destroy India.
As the Pandavas stake their claim to the Hastinapura throne, the Kaurava Crown Prince, Suyodhana, rises to challenge Krishna. As great minds debate dharma and adharma, power hungry men prepare for an apocalyptic war. The women, highborn and humble, helplessly watch the unfolding disaster with deep foreboding. And greedy merchants and unscrupulous priests lie in wait like vultures. Both sides know that beyond the agony and carnage, the winner will take all. But even as gods conspire and men’s destinies unfold, a far greater truth awaits.

Amazing to listen to.
This is my first audible story/book. As usual loved the retelling of the epic and the narrator has done a good job of bringing in the liveliness of the characters in the story.

Amazing!!
Anand has beautifully re-written the Mahabharat from Kaurav 's perspective! I really liked his style of writing and thought provoking narrative from both the sides. You'll be forced to think deep about what's right and what's wrong! What's Dharma & Adharma?! I had read the first part long back and was eagerly awaiting the second. It's very well worth the wait.
Siddhanth 's narrative also very good except for few female characters like Draupadi... I didn't particularly like that tone. Rest everything was great and super engaging.
Highly recommended everyone who's interested in Mythology and philosophy!

intriguing and engaging!
raises questions..overwhelms with the "other" side and different perspectives. Overall a good collection of stories adapted from Mahabharata with an empathetic look at "loser"camp too and s critical onslaught the n the "winner" tribe
