Ajaya: Roll of the Dice is a 2013 Indian novel of mythological fiction written by Anand Neelakantan. The first installment of the Ajaya series, it tells the story of the Kauravas.[1] As opposed to the usual tale told from the point of view of the victors, this entire story is written from Duryodhana's view.[2]

Reception

Hindustan Times writes, "Neelakantan got Ravana to steal Rama’s thunder as the hero of the Ramayana. He dismantled long-cherished beliefs of good and evil, questioning the idea of victory and defeat. Asura sold 1,30,000 copies, but Neelakantan is far from finished. Now, Ajaya: Roll Of The Dice, takes on the Mahabharata, this time focusing on the ‘unconquerable’ Kauravas."[3] The Indian Nerve rated it 3.5 out of 5 stating "The simple and gripping writing style coupled with fast-paced story throughout the book is sure to make you enjoy the book."[2]
