Description
Not a hero. Not a villain. A warrior who fought for his Dharma.
Ashwatthama: Son of Drona is the first book in an epic trilogy that reimagines the life of one of the Mahabharata's most misunderstood warriors. Long before he became the immortal cursed warrior, Ashwatthama was a son, a disciple, and an exceptional archer shaped by loyalty, sacrifice, and destiny. Through rich storytelling and historical imagination, this novel offers a fresh perspective on a legendary character whose choices changed the course of history.
Perfect for readers of mythological fiction, historical epics, and the Mahabharata.
Satyashil Kolekar is an Assistant Professor of Communication Skills at Fabtech Technical Campus, Sangola, Maharashtra. A passionate educator, researcher, and public speaker, his academic interests include Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS), communication, leadership, and personality development. He is the author of several books spanning education, psychology, and self-development.
His deep study of the Mahabharata led him to explore its lesser-understood characters beyond conventional narratives. Among them, Ashwatthama fascinated him the most; a warrior remembered more for his curse than for his journey. Inspired by this complexity, Satyashil began reimagining Ashwatthama's life through a fresh literary lens.
Ashwatthama: Son of Drona is his first work of creative fiction, blending historical imagination with philosophical inquiry to present one of the Mahabharata's most misunderstood warriors in a new light.
Beyond writing, Satyashil is a sought-after speaker who has addressed audiences at academic institutions, leadership forums, and professional events, including TEDx. Through his books and talks, he seeks to revive timeless Indian wisdom for contemporary readers.
