The intent here is to provide a new perspective to the long-established myths of the centuries.

These writers have started a new tradition by blending mythology with fantasy mode. With this kind of implementations, these writers are modernizing the Indian myths. The research paper explores Amish Tripathi’s stance in this age-old practice in a larger spectrum and his contribution to Indian Writing in English. Further, it comprises of close textual analysis of Shiva Trilogy with reference to the practice of retelling of Indian mythology.
