Bhima The Man in The Shadows

Within me resides the fusion of mortal and superhuman, forging an embodiment of unparalleled might. I stand as the supreme warrior of my era, known for transgressing my righteous path to commit a cold-blooded murder. With my own hands, I have decimated an entire generation of my kin, perpetrating unspeakable acts of brutality upon the battlefield. All these actions were driven by my unwavering love for a woman who, in turn, loves my brother.

I am Bhima, the second of the Pandavas, and this is the chronicle of my life.

Despite possessing astounding strength, unwavering loyalty, and profound tenderness, my character has often been overshadowed by the prominence of Yudhishtira and Arjuna.

This enthralling narrative sheds light on the extraordinary courage that defines me, the consuming love I harbor for Draupadi, and the tumultuous emotions I grapple with concerning my brother, Arjuna.

Written in a captivating and entertaining style, Singh's work offers an authoritative response to a burning inquiry: What was it truly like to be Bhima?
