Culture is the characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people, encompassing language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts amongst many things. Each social group has a distinct culture through which it promotes learning and teaching. In the Indian scenario, the oral culture was the one in prevalence for the most parts of the known ancient history. The mythologies and stories of ‘Gods-Demons’ was not just a Manichean difference but a deeper understanding of difference. There have been instances where demons in the Indian mythology have been shown as having exemplary characters. The need to read between the lines to understand the cultural heritage is vast the tradition of educating and transforming people to follow a righteous path has been a mainstay of the mythologies; the same has been present in the novels selected (Shiva Trilogy) by Amish Tripadi.
