Considering the soul as immortal they are quite fascinated with the elements of life beyond and after birth and death. In the true Bharatiya (that is Indian) culture people tend to explore the inner journey more than the outer one. Probably that is why people (especially with Indian roots) are so fascinated with it. It is rightly said that almost every situation, every problem, every feeling we can possibly face in our lives, are present in it. Mahabharat (aka Mahabharata) is definitely one of the best (if not the best) epic ever known to the mankind. Do listen, and share your thoughts with us.
