The Path of Sushmaloka by Nihar Bhonsule is a fiction, and believe me when I say, it is one of the best Indian fantasy novel I have read in recent years. This book is not merely meant for reading entertainment but the story has beautiful life lessons inscribed inside an intriguing mytho blended fantasy plot but also it made md contemplate about the concept of the soul transition and time.
The story reels back to three thousand B.C. where a warrior looses his only son when a demon nests inside his soul. The Dharmayodhaas are trying to protect the last gift of Krishna: The Sanatan Dharma. While he feels defeated he is instructed to take a strange action.
The Path of Sukshmaloka is an epic fantasy that takes the readers back to 3120 BC, in the era of the Mausala Parva of the Mahabharata, where destructive chaos of sorts is taking over the planet, with a strange cult of crocodile-like humanoids terrorizing people.
As revealed by Nihar, it is indeed a superhero story. Still, fascinatingly, it focuses more on the struggles faced by the protagonists, while the villains are in speedy progression with their sinister plans.
