Renowned mythologist and author Devdutt Pattnaik is all set to release his next book 'Pilgrim Nation' which will be published by Aleph books. The book will hit the stores on March 2, 2020.
Before nationalists and patriots, before colonizers and invaders, before emperors and kings, India was woven together by pilgrim paths. Seekers and sages travelled north and south, east and west, across mountains and along rivers, ignoring artificial boundaries, seeking and finding gods. Mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik takes the readers on an insightful journey to thirty-two holy sites where ancient and modern deities unravel the complex and layered history, geography and imagination of the land once known as ‘land of the Indian blackberry’ (Jambudvipa), ‘land of rivers’ (Sindhusthala in Sanskrit, or Hindustan in Persian), ‘expanse of King Bharata’ (Bharatvarsha, or Bharatkhanda) and even ‘abode of joy’ (Sukhavati to the Chinese).
