The Plot of The Immortals of Meluha
This perfect society though is facing some troubles as the Suryavanshi clan is facing a constant threat of war from their eastern neighbors, the clan of the Chandravanshis. These two societies are totally different from each other in every respect and hence their differences.To the further chagrin of the Meluhans, their nosiy neighbors have now aligned themselves with the fierce warrior tribe of the Nagas, who are now acrrying out deadly terrorist attacks in the cities of Meluha.
The Rise of Shiva
The Immortals of Meluha picks up pace and introduces us to the character of Shiva, a nomadic warrior who is discovered by the Suryavanshis and brought to Meluha. It is then revealed that Shiva is the Neelkanth or the blue-throated god who will vanquish all evil from the land.
This is the basic premise of the story and the question left for the readers is how Shiva rises to fulfill his destiny while battling the demons in his mind.
