It was an evening where literature met legacy, as readers gathered at Crossword Kemps Corner for the grand launch of Amish Tripathi’s ‘The Chola Tigers: Avengers of Somnath’, the second book in his epic Indic Chronicles series, by Crossword Bookstores in association with Harper Collins India, the event drew a packed audience of fans, and members of the literary community. Adding a touch of glamour and star power to the evening were celebrated actors Ravi Dubey, Sargun Mehta, Jimmy Shergill and Anup Soni who joined Amish on stage to unveil the book.
Amish, India’s most celebrated mytho-fiction author, has redefined contemporary Indian literature with his bestselling works—the Shiva Trilogy (The Immortals of Meluha, The Secret of the Nagas, The Oath of the Vayuputras), the Ram Chandra Series (Scion of Ikshvaku, Sita – Warrior of Mithila, Raavan – Enemy of Aryavarta, War of Lanka), and Legend of Suheldev. With over 8 million copies sold, his books have not only dominated bestseller charts but also inspired readers to rediscover India’s cultural and historical heritage.
Speaking of the launch at Crossword, Amish shared, “I feel truly blessed by the love I’ve received. What began as a simple philosophical thesis has grown into The Indian Chronicles—my interpretation of the last 1300 years of our story. It is time we re-examine the way we view our history.”
Nidhi Gupta, Director at Crossword Bookstores, said, “At Crossword, it’s been really special to be a part of Amish’s journey right from the start. From The Immortals of Meluha to now, we’ve seen the love for his stories grow with every launch and every reader connection.
With Chola Tigers: Avengers of Somnath, we’re excited to bring our readers a bold new chapter in his storytelling legacy.”
The evening concluded with a lively interaction and book signing session, as fans queued up to meet Amish and have their copies of The Chola Tigers and his other books personally signed, making the launch a truly memorable celebration.
