A UK-based Indian academic, who has retold the ancient Sanskrit epic ‘Mahabharata’ in a series of tweets, is now preparing for a sequel to the Twitter version, this time from the perspective of its key villain Duryodhana. Chindu Sreedharan, a former war reporter-turned-journalism lecturer at Bournemouth University on the south coast of England, began narrating the Indian epic on the microblogging site as a digital storytelling experiment in 2009. The story spanned four years and 2,700 tweets and his efforts were released in December as India’s first Twitter fiction novel titled ‘Epic Retold.’
