Summary
In this alternate retelling of the Mahabharata, Karna faces his greatest battle—not on the battlefield, but within his own soul. After Kunti's devastating revelation of his true parentage and Krishna's divine counsel, the legendary warrior makes an unprecedented choice: he abandons Duryodhana and joins the Pandavas on the second day of the Kurukshetra war.
Torn between a lifetime of loyalty to the friend who gave him dignity and the newfound knowledge of his blood brothers, Karna must navigate the treacherous waters of duty, honor, and dharma. As he fights alongside Arjuna instead of against him, Karna discovers what it truly means to be a brother and a warrior of righteousness.
But destiny is not easily rewritten. Even as Karna finds peace in his choice to stand with dharma, the curses of his past and the brutal realities of war converge toward an inevitable, tragic end. This is the story of a warrior's redemption, a son's homecoming, and the ultimate price of choosing righteousness over pride.- Language:

Summary
The spiritual ethos and the philosophical outlook that the Bhagavad-Gita postulates paves the way for the liberation of man, who, as Rousseau said, ‘being born free, is everywhere in chains’. But equally it is a mirror of human psychology, which enables man to discern his debilities for appropriate redressal.
All the same, the boon of an oral tradition that kept it alive for over two millennia became its bane with the proliferation of interpolations therein. Besides muddying its pristine philosophy, these insertions affect the sequential conformity and structural economy of the grand discourse. What is worse, to the chagrin of the majority of the Hindus, some of these legitimize the inimical caste system while upholding the priestly perks and prejudices.
This endeavour is to restore Gita's original character by ridding it of hundred and ten interpolations, which, besides muddling the understanding of the adherents tend to keep the skeptics away from it.
In this is conveyed Gita’s pristine philosophy in evocative verses without commentary and sans theological twists and ideological turns.
