The Hidden Hindu: Science-Fiction meets Indian mythology in a nail biting thriller set in 2020

The Hidden Hindu is a gripping blend of mythology, history, and modern-day thriller that keeps you hooked from the very first page. Akshat Gupta weaves an intriguing narrative that connects ancient Indian legends with a contemporary storyline, creating a fast-paced and thought-provoking read. At the center of the story is a mysterious figure with a hidden past one that traces back thousands of years, touching upon characters and concepts deeply rooted in Hindu mythology. As the layers unfold, the book takes you on a journey through time, questioning immortality, destiny, and the untold truths of ancient India. What makes the book stand out is its cinematic storytelling short chapters, suspenseful buildup, and unexpected twists make it highly engaging. The integration of mythological elements feels fresh and imaginative, especially for readers who enjoy stories like The Immortals of Meluha or Asura. However, at times, the narrative prioritizes pace over depth, and some revelations may feel rushed. But the sheer curiosity it builds and the way it links mythology with fiction keeps you invested till the end.

Completely amazing story! Since Hindu mythology is so vast and has elements of rebirth and immortality, it gives creative minds amazing opportunity to utilize the myths, the prophecies, the legends, for the sake of story telling. The hidden hindu is based on the concept of the seven immortals in Hinduism who are believed to be alive even after the end of the epoch (yug) they were born in. I have long been fascinated by the idea of the last avatar of Vishnu- Kalki who is prophesied to descend on the earth at the end of Kali yuga. So, when I read the blurb, I was intrigued. The book definitely has a unique concept of blending science fiction with mythology, of finding a balance between past and present, mortality and immortality and this is why I really appreciated this book for its originality and story telling. The narration is the key when it comes to books that deal with such complicated themes and this book lacked the gripping narration it deserved. It reads like diary entries or even a play where characters just keep saying their lines without any descriptions of their body language, their surroundings, that can give us an insight into their motivations and explain what drives them for the reader to be able to connect with them and the story. The plot, like I said, is engaging and the book ends on an exciting note where you can't help but ask for more. Kudos to the author for being able to create a world that even though isn't perfect by any means, still manages to lure you in. I have the orijinal copy personally signed by the author akshat sir for me. Eagerly waiting for the next part.❤

The pages will really start moving once you enter the world. The book is really great, but sometimes I think it becomes too much fact based. Anyway, they make the experience even better. Whatever, don't think anything, just go for the book!

Can't wait for a movie adaptation of this novel. Beautifully constructed and narrated mystical stories of ancient India.

Excellent book.everyone must read once.you can understand hinduism is not a religion,it's a science.

The writer uses historical characters to make story relatable. The suspense keeps on building up with each chapter.

The story follows Prithvi, a 21 year old who can't shake this feeling of knowing events, remembering them even from a time before his birth. His ability to see the past makes him seek an ascetic who claims to be an immortal and have lived through all four yugas. Prithvi's journey is full of puzzling elements of the past and an unpredictable future where he tries to explore his real identity and where his present self lies in the midst of all this chaos.

A nice blend of science and mythology. The story starts with a bang and ends with a bang, a nice build up and narration of different stories to set the tone. That was probably the most speedy 200 pages of my life. An amazing blend of mythology and science fiction, this story takes place in 2041 with events spread all across history (both recorded and mythical). The Hidden Hindu” is an enthralling trilogy that takes readers on a mesmerizing journey through the realms of mythology, immortality, and profound secrets.

If you are looking for something interesting, your are at the right place 🙋‍♂️

As someone who is still learning about Hindu mythology, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story is fast-paced, easy to read, and filled with fascinating mythological references that made me want to learn more. I finished it in a single sitting and immediately picked up Book 2. A great blend of mystery, adventure, and mythology that kept me turning the pages. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an entertaining introduction to the rich world of Hindu legends.

Nice

The author is beating around the bush with one liner understanding of chiranjeevis. Feels like picking up random instagram shorts of knowledge of mythological stories and trying to force fit into a fiction expecting a “wow” . It may run good with folks who have never read the vedas or Mahabharata or Ramayana and that definitely defines a Lakh copies sold . The depiction of Aghori is so immature and incorrectly portrayed . Work of fiction for sure . Am disappointed coz may be I expected a lot from this book by reading the blurb. My bad !!!

The product was good.
