Historical Fiction

  1. The Second Coming: An Audit of The Apostles

    Jesus Christ returns on an ordinary Tuesday—not in clouds of glory, but in the marble boardrooms and private-jet lounges of Christianity’s wealthiest leaders. Clad in simple linen, He performs water-to-wine miracles and orders every megachurch, media empire, and global network built in His name to be dismantled, demanding they surrender power for unmediated divine guidance. One by one the stewards refuse, revealing how tightly prosperity and bureaucracy have bound the very faith they claim to serve.

  2. The Kurukshetra Losers
    The Kurukshetra Losers
    Chinmoy Mukherjee

    In the mist-shrouded threshold between life and death, the “losers” of Kurukshetra awaken: Duryodhana, Karna, Bhishma, Ashwatthama, and the rest—stripped of armour, pride, and excuses. No longer villains or footnotes of defeat, they confront the raw sensory weight of their regrets, their broken vows, and the human flaws that painted the battlefield red. Through vivid, wryly modern purgatories they discover that true victory was never won on the field… but may still be found in forgiveness.

  3. The Head on the Hill
    The Head on the Hill
    Chinmoy Mukherjee

    High on a sacred hill, my severed head watches the Kurukshetra war rage below—every arrow, every broken vow, every river of blood—while the rest of me lies somewhere far away. I am Barbarik, grandson of Bhima, son of Ghatotkacha, gifted eternal sight by Krishna himself… and I’m not here for dusty Sanskrit chants. With Sidhhaisms, pop-culture flair, and a Jackson Pollock canvas of gore and glory, I’m delivering the ultimate live commentary on dharma, destruction, and the cosmic joke no one else dares tell.

  4. The Emperor’s Unpaid Debt

    In the scented twilight of 1605 Agra, Emperor Akbar lies dying amid lapis and gold, the official chronicles of his glory clashing against the silenced screams of the women his empire devoured. As the final veil falls, karma does not forgive—it mirrors. His soul is sentenced to descend through centuries of short, brutal lives, each one a precise repayment: for every life he stripped of agency, he must now claw his own back from the edge of despair.

  5. Shadows of the Sun
    Shadows of the Sun
    Chinmoy Mukherjee

    Born in the Sun God’s blinding radiance, Karna was never the tragic hero legends claimed. This provocative novella strips away the myth to reveal a man devoured by entitlement, wine-soaked nights, and venomous ambition—ally to Duryodhana, architect of Draupadi’s public shame, and the hand that broke every rule to murder Abhimanyu. Shadow of the Sun dares to ask what happens when the brightest light chooses to become the longest shadow.

  6. Kurukshetra's Echo
    Kurukshetra's Echo
    Chinmoy Mukherjee

    What if the dice of Hastinapura had fallen differently? In this darker, dustier branch of the Mahabharata, a transformed Duryodhana turns humiliation into chilling resolve—forging unity, mending alliances, and wielding strategy like a surgeon’s scalpel across eighteen days of Kurukshetra. Here dharma stands stripped of divine favor, facing only the cold calculus of war, loyal scouts, and overwhelming force.

His glowing laptop is mistaken for divine magic, turning the hacker into the oracle who can rewrite history with algorithms and simulations. But when deadly glitches expose a ruthless future AI trapping him in an endless war loop, Chunmun must choose: fuel conquest or hack an entirely new destiny of peace.

  8. The Macedonian Ascetic
    The Macedonian Ascetic
    Chinmoy Mukherjee

    In 326 BCE, after crushing King Porus, Alexander the Great stands amid his empire—rich, victorious, and spiritually hollow. Disillusioned by Maya’s glittering illusions, he abandons throne, gold, and sword to walk ancient India as a seeker, learning from twenty masters of Vedanta, Yoga, and Bhakti. Through radical renunciation and inner surrender, the world’s greatest conqueror becomes the “King of Zero,” realizing the ultimate truth: Aham Brahma Asmi. A luminous reimagining where the sword yields to silence and power bows before the Self.

    Beyond The Ramayana
    Chinmoy Mukherjee

    In the shimmering dawn of Treta Yuga, when the veil between mortal and divine thinned to a whisper, thirty-four luminous sages stood as living beacons of dharma across Bharatavarsha’s emerald wilds.
