SUMMARY:Global Online Book Launch Adṛsya: Hidden Marvels of the Mahābhārata
DESCRIPTION:The Mahābhārata is a world in itself. It is vast\, layered\, and filled with characters who have shaped Indian thought for centuries. And yet\, for every figure we know well\, there are dozens who remain in the background. Unspoken. Unnamed. Sometimes simply forgotten. \nAdṛsya: Hidden Marvels of the Mahābhārata is an anthology from INDICA that reimagines that silence. Curated and edited by Aditi Banerjee\, this collection features fourteen contributors exploring the lives of lesser-known characters from the epic. \nThis global online launch is not just a release event. It’s a gathering of readers\, scholars\, and storytellers who believe that sometimes the truest power lies not in the center of the frame but at its edges. \nWe warmly invite you to join us for this online celebration. \n  \nChief Guest\n\n\n\n\nDr. Vishwa Adluri\nAdjunct Assistant Professor of Religion and Philosophy at Hunter College (CUNY)\, Dr. Adluri is an expert in ancient Greek and Indian philosophy.
