Soon to be a Major Motion Picture.A Forgotten Hero. An Unforgettable Battle. india, 1025 AD.Repeated attacks by Mahmud of Ghazni and his barbaric Turkic hordes have weakened India’s northern regions. The invaders lay waste to vast swathes of the subcontinent—plundering, killing, raping, pillaging. Many of the old Indian kingdoms, tired and divided, fall to them. Those who do fight, battle with old codes of chivalry, and are unable to stop the savage Turkic army which repeatedly breaks all rules to win. Then the Turks raid and destroy one of the holiest temples in the land: the magnificent Lord Shiva temple at Somnath. At this most desperate of times, a warrior rises to defend the nation. King Suheldev. The ruler of a small kingdom, he sees what must be done for his motherland, and is willing to sacrifice his all for it. A fierce rebel. A charismatic leader. An inclusive patriot. Read this blockbuster epic adventure of courage and heroism, a fictional tale based on true events, that recounts the story of that lionhearted warrior and the magnificent Battle of Bahraich.

4.0 out of 5 stars I was flipping pages like a book addict.
Reviewed in India on 27 June 2020

Legend of Suheldev by Amish is a Historical Fiction setup in the 11th century. This is a story of a young prince who is committed to defend the motherland. The writer has curated the main character carefully and have succinctly narrated the journey of a King who would unite kingdoms and defend his motherland from foreign invaders.

The narration is vivid and the authors have clearly put in a lot of effort in penning down each scene with through detail. The story has several highs which got me excited and it compelled my attention. I was flipping pages like a book addict. I read and I read.

However, the book did leave me wanting more. The story offered some twist (especially in Ch. 17) and I was at the edge of my seat, contemplating a mind blowing reveal, but to my disappointment it turned out to be a stereotypical tale of “judwaas”.

As a reader what I enjoy the most is when I appreciate and admire characters for whom I held contempt at the beginning of the story, to a point that I might even root for that evil character as the story develops, and enjoy the tussle between the dark and the light. Towards the end of the story I felt robbed of it.

The character of Aslan deserved to be more than who was revealed in the later chapters. I was expecting strategy and depth, waiting for a good contest between Suheldev and Maqsud, but what I got was someone unremarkable; a coward who hid his identity, instead of an impostor — a master strategist, who was brave enough to enter the lion’s den. And a counter-strategy from the King who saved India.

The final battle was descriptive, and I was mesmerised by the sheer detail of it, through the fight between Masud and Maqsud was exaggerated and it almost took the centre stage. It almost felt like characters of Abdul, Toshani, Govardhan took a back seat with Suheldev shining a little bright in comparison to them, but not as bright as Masud. It felt like the writer drew sadistic pleasure from watching one Turk kill another.

I expected more strategy, detail and depth, but I was left wanting more. I enjoyed reading the book, though the book could easily have been extended to a 530 page novel had the writer not resorted to the ‘tale of judwaas’. The battle could have been more strategic and majestic. I did see a glimpse of it in the book, which raised my expectations, but I found myself disappointed on some occasions. Needless to say that my expectation with Amish is colossal.

I do appreciate the message the author gives. That our strength is in unity and we must resist division of our society. Caste creates a sense of segregation which is this biggest threat to the integrity of India and the Hindu religion. That theological liberalism is what has helped the Hindu civilisation to sustain repeated attacks from the proselytising invaders. Undoubtedly the book instils a sense of pride and camaraderie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indian history once eclipsed by marxist narratives, shines brighter because of this book
Reviewed in India on 25 June 2020
Verified Purchase
The story is about unfolding the legendary battle of Bahraich that took place between the heroic Suhel Dev and Salar Maqsud the fearsome Turkish commander of Muhammad Ghazni.

A small time prince of a subaltern clan, Suhel Dev loses his elder brother in the ghastly desecration of Somnath temple by Muhammad of Ghazni. To add to his troubles, he sees local kings fall to the threats and bribes of invading marauders. Can the angry young warrior grow into a leader who can unite the children of Mother India to fight against the Turkish hordes?

Care has been given in crafting the minor characters. The story is woven to give a glimpse of historical heroes who have not been given their due by the marxist curriculum writers who have told us the history of invaders instead of that of the sons and daughters of India. I personally loved the role of Rajendra Chola and really hope that
Team Amish would write a full length book on the Chola King. I also liked the philosophical discussions that spanned Buddhism, Sufism, moderate Islam and the extremist Islam which is no more than a tool in the hands of power hungry monsters. The storytelling has very well differentiated between true valour and marauding monstrosity and shed light on outdated principles. In a way, it is an emphasis on the need for India to update herself as Apad-Dharma.

The Legend of Suhel Dev is just a tip of the iceberg of the vast Indian history that we have NOT been told about. I wish the Writers Centre brings in many more of such stories about the true heroes and heroines of Bharat. This is the kind of a book you would want to gift any young reader enthusiastic about history of India.

Thankyou for making us aware of these forgotten heroes, their bravery and patriotism should be included in history books instead of Akbar, Humayu etc. Like in our times.
Looking forward to more such books about our forgotten warriors. Har Har Mahadev!!

Tripathy here describes the life of Price Suheldev fighting with spirit and coherence for his people and his country against muslim invaders. As in all of Tripathy's books a strong belief in Hinduism, love to his country India, general altruism and honour plays a major backdrop to the adventurous narrative.

After reading the introduction , I felt a little bad that its edited by Amish as final version but not written from scratch by him. When I read it I never though that the writing style has changed at all.

Well written and enthralling just like all other books by him yet.

I feel that the Ramayan trilogy need a conclusive book with the end of Ravana and Ram's kingdom to be restored so would be waiting for that book too.

This is a fascinating story based on history and made very absorbing reading by Amish. All Indians should read this and understand how barbarians had attacked India and yet how the kings those time repelled the attacks by chivalrous means to counter ruthless and unprincipled Muslim barbarians bent on plundering and damaging Indian culture.
