Oath and Oblivion: The Warriors of Dharma is a poetic retelling of the Mahabharata through the inner worlds of its two most resolute yet tragic figures—Karna and Bhishma. This epic-in-verse explores the lives of the Sun-born and the oath-bound, men who chose loyalty over legacy and silence over survival. From Karna’s divine birth and rejection, to Bhishma’s vow of celibacy and moral dilemma, each poem unearths the burdens they bore for honor and duty. Their destinies unfold across flaming chariots, cursed vows, and aching silences as they confront dharma in its most complex form. Through lyrical stanzas and mythic imagery, the book becomes a meditation on sacrifice, righteousness, and the loneliness of those who stand by their word, no matter the cost. A timeless tribute to unsung valor, Oath and Oblivion is both a literary homage and a spiritual journey into the heart of epic heroism.
