A Comparative Analysis of Dharmayoddha Kalki: Vishnu’s Avatar and Meluha’s Immortals
Author : Munmun Augur and Soniya Augur
Abstract :
This article compares and contrasts Amish Tripathi's The Immortals of Meluha and Kevin Missal's Dharmayoddha Kalki: Avatar of Vishnu in order to examine the issue of mythological appropriation in modern Indian literature. Both books are groundbreaking works of contemporary mythology fiction that humanize Hindu gods for a modern audience. This essay uses literary analysis to look at how each author creates other histories, reinterprets mythological figures, and combines myth with modernity. Their different narrative approaches, ideological foundations, and the sociocultural ramifications of reworking old tales in the twenty-first century are highlighted in the contrast.
