Revisiting the characters of Mahabharata - Kavita Kane's 'The Fisher Queen Dynasty'

<p>Retelling myth is a most-happening subject in Modern<br>Indian English Literature. Kavita Kane, a journalist turned writer<br>carved a niche for her in this genre of Indian English Literature. She is<br>an author of six bestselling novels – all based on the side-lined<br>characters of Indian myth. Saraswathi’s Gift is her latest release. The<br>success of these mythological narratives depends mostly on the ability<br>of the author to re-invent the characters and win over the audience<br>with their narrative which explains their actions. Kavita Kane excels in<br>this art of persuasion with her exquisite characterization and gripping<br>narrative. The success of her six novels which are purely based on<br>myth is a testimony for this. Kavita Kane’s The Fisher Queen Dynasty<br>is an exquisite example for well-developed characters which are easily<br>accepted and empathized by the readers owing to her credible<br>exploration and narrative. This paper delves into the excellence of<br>Kane’s ability in representing the mythical characters in her modern<br>fiction.</p>
