Amish Tripathi, the bored banker-turned-happy-author of Indian writing in English, has written seven novels till in two series. His novels are famous for his recreation of Indian Hindu mythology and have been sold over seven million copies. The first series Shiva Trilogy deals with Shiva Puranas whereas the second series Ramchandra Series is a fantasy retelling The Ramayana. The concept of Ideal society has been represented by several authors starting from Plato’s Republic to Ursula Le Guin’s The Dispossessed. But, Amish Tripathi is one of the few authors who has created an Ideal world only to show that there can never be an ideal world.
