Topic Research: The Indian Epic Battles

The Kuruksehtra War was the main war in the Mahabharata. The war is being fought between Kauravas and the Pandavas. These groups of cousins are fighting for the ruling of the thronw. This kind of reminds me of the Hatfields and the McCoys. This was another famous family rivalry that happened right here in the United States. The war was based on the 10 kings war which happened around 3102 bc. This battle was a fight between rival tribes in India. The center of the war was around the Ravi River in India. A possible story I can use is Viradha as a possible battle story. I have already written a story about it, and I liked the battle scene a lot. I could do the battle with Khara as another story. Finnaly I was thinking of using the fight in the part called Lakshmana and Shurpanakha. All of these pretty interesting and I plan on writing about the battles because I think there is a lot of room to be more creative.
