Watch.” In the clip, he is heard saying, “It's said that Mahabharat is the source of all stories. Is it just a mythology or India's consciousness? The question remains – is it history or mythology?

The book has been translated in many languages including English, Russian, Chinese and Sanskrit. It has been a best-seller in all languages.

Recently, Vivek Agnihotri received the Nargis Dutt Award for Best Feature Film in the National Integration category for his 2022 film, The Kashmir Files. Talking about it, he told Hindustan Times, “This award is a tribute to all the victims of genocide and persecution in the world. Especially the kind of times we are living in, looking at the wars happening all over the world and the barbaric killings, so I think this is a message and tribute for all the victims of religious terrorism in the world, especially the Kashmiri Pandit community who were silenced for 32 years. With this film, their voice can be heard and lessons can be learnt by the world that what happens when humanity is absent in a society.”
