God of the sullied
Dating back to the middle of the ninth century when the world was in the grip of Kali Yuga, a scion of the Ikshvaku dynasty took birth, who would later be tested by time. Right from being deemed as 'sullied' and being out-casted by his villagers to meeting good people of the kingdom of Rudraputra and making friends, there was a kaleidoscopic shift, albeit a harsh one, in the life of the protagonist, Eklavya. There comes the point when he hit a low period in life and no longer cares whether or not there's light at the end of the tunnel. Did he thrive regardless of adversities or did he succumb to the darkness within and outside? Only the 'God of the Sullied' would know!
