Creative Fiction and Worldbuilding

Stories and narrative worlds — Dharmapunk, Janapada, Mandhātr̥, Sūryavaṃśa, Soma Vaṃśa, and the craft of building immersive fictional universes

Amrit’s creative fiction spans multiple genres — from the science fiction Dharmapunk universe to historical fiction set in the Vedic period, fantasy worldbuilding, and experimental narrative exercises.

The Dharmapunk Universe

Dharmapunk is a science fiction setting in the year 3023, where Earth (now called Aryavarta) has transformed into a dharmika utopia rooted in ancient Hindu wisdom while propelled by advanced technology. The story follows Arya, a young tech-savant who discovers an ancient prophecy hidden within the Vedas about the Neelkanth (blue-throated savior), and her quest to understand this prophecy through a fusion of scientific curiosity and spiritual yearning. The narrative explores themes of technology and spirituality harmonized through bio-quantum computing.

The Janapada Series

Set in the world of the Bharata dynasty, The Janapada and its plot notes follow King Divodasa and his son Sudas, the central figures of the Ṛgvedic period. The narrative weaves together historical fiction with the mythic geography of the Vedic world, exploring court politics, warfare, and the spiritual quest of the young prince. Mandhātr̥ is a related narrative about King Mandhatra, a legendary ruler whose story bridges the divine and human realms.
