Indian Epics Blog

Continuing with my Doctor Who storybook idea I'll be exploring other Indian Epic stories that the Doctor could get himself entangled in. First, I found the Sons of Rama: Luv and Kush - The Invincible Twins and thought it would be a fun story.

Arjuna is another character is the The Tale of Shiva that I would like to explo...
