This is one of those rare novels that live up to its name. The satire inherent in the title pervades the pages of the book, which is a fictional account of two of the most important components of Indian history/mythology- the Mahabharat and British-Indian politics. Conceptually, the mind boggles at the fusion of two such entities, but Tharoor manages to reconcile them, and how!
