About the Book
Duryodhan believes that the Kuru kingdom belongs to the Kauravas. He will not give away even an inch of that ancestral land without a fight. How can he? The Pandavas are not even the real sons of Maharaj Pandu, they are not true heirs of the Kurus.
Krishna helped them, and the Pandavas won the war, a hollow victory. They lost as much as those they vanquished did. As the other side tells the story of the war-Duryodhan, Dhritarashtra, Gandhari, Dushasan, Shakuni and others who were thus far pushed to the margins of the epic-Vidhate turns on its head the greatest tale ever, to tell a story of monstrous jealousy and devouring greed. Everyone had blood on their hands. There were no winners even as one side wrested a gruesome victory-and Duryodhan knew it right from the start.
