Yuganta: The End of an Epoch

Yuganta: The End of an Epoch is a book written by anthropologist Irawati Karve.

The book was written in Marathi originally and was translated in English by W. Norman Brown.

In this book the author has attempted to interpret many of the events of the Mahabharata in a socio-political context.

According to Karve's analysis, the Mahabharata is not really a myth, but is an account of historical events that actually took place many thousands of years ago, in the nation of India.

In this context, the author provides the readers with in-depth insight into the political and social situations that were prevalent during that period in Indian history.
