Some years ago, I read Amar Chitra Katha's Dasa Avatar series. It was
a very nice work of fiction, at best.... I was literally ROFL reading
the last book because this Kali avatar is supposed to just kill his
enemies in assuming the shape of some weird animal. Whether he talks
to them while doing so, I guess we have to wait to see. I was
surprised that this book series actually sold as many copies as
claimed. What was more surprising was that there are actually a lot of
people in India who believe that the end of the Kali yuga is very
near.
