The Great Indian Novel
5* for the last two chapters.
Dr. Tharoor has struck goldmine here: this novel is fail-safe because of the intricate richness of its source material--the grand epic 'Mahabharata' with its original dysfunctional family, bedroom politics, palace intrigues & counter intrigues; grand notions of duty, honor, courage, sacrifice, boons & curses; envy, bitterness, greed & hatred -- all of these leading to a full-fledged fratricidal war.
Tharoor superimposes major events from Indian political history, such as the British colonial India's war for independence, the partition, a fledgeling Indian democracy, the dark years of the Emergency & its chaotic aftermath by loosely using major characters & situations from the 'Mahabharata'.
The narrator VV (Sage Vyasa in the original), is a retired, veteran politician, dictating his memoirs to his amanuensis, Ganapathi (Lord Ganesha in the original).
The book excels as a political satire; it is, however, more in the Rushdie territory, in that here, Myth marries Politics but with the magical realism bit considerably toned down.
So how does Tharoor fare?
Firstly, the writer must be applauded for the audacity of his ambition-- whereas Rushdie was contending with one protagonist (It's

Conscience
Moral philosophy or values of an individual
For other uses, see Conscience (disambiguation)."Scruples" redirects here. For other uses, see Scruples (disambiguation).Not to be confused with Consciousness or Conscientiousness.
A conscience is a cognitive process that elicits emotion and rational associations based on an individual's moral philosophy or value system. Conscience stands in contrast to elicited emotion or thought due to associations based on immediate sensory perceptions and reflexive responses, as in sympathetic central nervous system responses. In common terms, conscience is often described as leading to feelings of remorse when a person commits an act that conflicts with their moral values. The extent to which conscience informs moral judgment before an action and whether such moral judgments are or should be based on reason has occasioned debate through much of modern history between theories of basics in ethic of human life in juxtaposition to the theories of romanticism and other reactionary movements after the end of the Middle Ages.
Religious views of conscience usually see it as linked to a morality inherent in all humans, to a beneficent universe and/or to divinity. The diverse ritualistic, mythical, doctrinal, legal, institutional an
