Trapped within the sands of Kurukshetra lie not only the anguished souls of men, but also the buried truths of their personalities — the unspoken secrets of a fractured family and the wisdom-laden voice of Krishna.
Have you ever wondered how the Mahabharata often presents a selective portrayal of its characters — painting some as pure even when dust stains their feet, and others as brutal beings even when a faint glimmer of gold flickers within their hearts? If so, this book becomes your guide to discovering a more balanced, unfiltered perspective of the family of Hastinapur.
Through evocative poetry, this collection unveils the duality inherent in every character and revisits the ten moral truths once spoken by Krishna to his beloved companion, and to generations beyond. As you turn each page, you will realise that not every war is fought with weapons — some are fought with resentment sharpened silently within the heart.

Purvi Sharma
Purvi Sharma is a 16-year-old student and an avid reader with a staunch passion for fiction and poetry. She is currently working on her debut book, ‘The Final Verdict’, a contemporary poetic retelling of the great Hindu epic, the Mahabharata. Through verse, the book explores the dualities within its major characters and reflects on the ten infamous teachings of the Kurukshetra war.
With over three years of writing experience, Purvi has experimented with a diverse range of genres and styles. She also serves as an editor on her school’s editorial board. More often than not, she can be found either immersed in a book, crafting her own words—or doing both at the same time.
