The book "Roll of the Dice" uniquely retells the epic from the Kauravas' viewpoint, primarily Suyodhana's, humanizing all characters by presenting them with flaws and insecurities beyond simple good vs. evil archetypes. It critiques social injustice and caste discrimination, giving voice to marginalized figures like Karna and Ekalavya through an engaging, fast-paced narrative. As mythological fiction, it offers rational explanations and modern interpretations of the source material, encouraging readers to critically re-examine their understanding of 'dharma' by questioning traditional heroes and villains, thus promoting a nuanced view of morality.
