How would you like to wander around ancient India during the Mahabharata war, witness its unique customs, experience the rigid social structures, and glimpse the remote tribes while helping a young widow? Journey with Siya and experience her many trials as she tries to unravel the mystery of a strange symbol that she hopes will lead to finding her husband’s killer.

Unlike other retelling of mythical stories, the novel Undesired Duty is about how the lives of commoners were affected by the decisions made by the gods, kings and heroes of Mahabharata. The unfolding story is about the people who lived simple lives that caused them to struggle between the duties imposed on them and the desires they longed to fulfill.

Here are a few issues, the novel Undesired Duty, explores from the perspective of commoners who witnessed the Mahabharata war:
-Why Krishna served as a charioteer for Arjun while giving his army to the Kauravs?
-Why Krishna wanted Arjun to fight even though he himself was called a deserter after he had fled the battlefield against Jarasandh?
-Though full of remorse after the Mahabharata war, why did Pandavs wage several battles after the war? In one battle Arjun almost died. Did he learn anything from the Geeta?
-Why Yuyutsu, the only Kaurav brothers to have survived the war, was the real winner of Mahabharata?
-Why Mahatma Gandhi, the messenger of peace was born not far from Krishna’s hometown Dwarka?
-What do the lines and dots in the symbol Swastika may mean?
