respected doctor,
i had seen an advertisement of your book myth=mythya. the narration given
indicated that you have a collection of trivia of mythology. few days back i purchased this book alongwith mahabharat. the narration in ad. were completely misleading .
on first sight of books i become fan of the storey teller with a difference. then this interview gave insight .
my birth religion jainism is hardly discussed . buddhism hogs the lime light. i am happy you have given some views expressed in jain literature about mahabharat.how about some work on jain mythological stories. there are hundreds of them
you are really devdutt , a gift from deva to india.
please donot stop.
regards

Devdutt
My book Jaya makes many references to Jain retellings of the Mahabharata….
