AJAYA—An epic of the Kaurava clan—Book- 1 begins with the ROLL OF THE DICE by a Keralite writer Anand Neelakantan. It is unique in the sense that uptill now Pandavas and Lord Krishna have been eulogized in the story of Mahabharat as heroes but here is a rebellious author always drawn to the anti heroes doing justice to them which, till now, very few fictional writer, probably no author could dare to handle. This makes the famous author of the bestseller ASURA which is the tale of the Vanquished, stand apart in the galaxy of fictional Writings.

Duryodhan has been depicted as saviour of the people who are downtrodden, neglected and looked down upon in a society divided by Haves and Havenots, exploiter and exploited, High and Low, Oppressed and Oppressors. Karna, Eklavya who represent lower caste men but made heroes by Duryodhan were so long historically despised by the society. In this social scenario of today, a section of the people are reminded of their yore. This gives uniqueness to the book and makes it acceptable all over the world.
Beginning with a Prelude GANDHAR, the birth place of GANDHARI – the female ancestor of KAURAVAS, this book comprises of 27 chapters which begin with ‘Prince of the Blood’ and ends in ‘the RoLL of the DICE’.
