One war, two existential heroes
Since its original narration by Ved Vyasa, this story has been retold “many and many a time again in many guises, in many climes, and what follows now is one of them, written far into Kali Yuga, in its birthplace, Bharatvarsha, right on the cusp of history, as the Light prepares to spread over the earth that has resisted for long”. That is how Maggi Lidchi-Grassi introduces her rendering of the Mahabharata, a dramatic and lyrical retelling of the great epic.
