Shikhandi And Other Stories They Don't Tell You by Devdutt Pattanaik
A compact, conversational collection that retells lesser-known Indian myths—ranging from the transgender warrior Shikhandi to forgotten goddesses and outcast heroes—reframing canonical stories to surface suppressed voices, question caste, gender and ritual, and draw links between ancient narratives and contemporary social issues; blending accessible scholarship, cultural context and mythic storytelling, it invites readers to rethink moral certainties and recognize the pluralities and ambiguities within tradition.
