Abstract

Mythology has been an inevitable source and subject of study in literature down the ages. The writers since many ages have tried to re-interpret the previous myths. The intent here is to provide a new perspective to the long-established myths of the centuries. Recently the new breed of writers like Amish Tripathi, Ashok Banker and Ashwin Sanghi are experimenting the mythology genre by blending it with the other modes of writing. 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.
