This book consists of three essays on Mahabharata titled "Mystery of Pandava God-Fathers," "Karna’s Father Found," and "Mystery of Death of Bhisma., Drona, Karna and Duryodhana." The author believes that behind every myth there is fact, and myth hides as much as reveals. The first essay attempts to search the mystery of Pandava God-fathers. Pandavas are hailed as Indras or sons of Dharma, Vayu, Indra and Asvins. Behind the myth who are their actual fathers? Why was the myth created? The second essay attempts to search Karna's father. Who is the man behind the myth of Surya? The third essay attempts to find the poetic truth behind the myth that all Pandava opponents were killed in unfair war.
