Is it the modern interpretation of mahabharta?

it's not really an interpretation in that it doesn't try to offer a commentary on the Mahabharata. instead, it recreates the epic and presents it in modern, twentieth century terms. so you'll find that the story itself is an interesting blend of characters from the Mahabharata and events from the indian freedom struggle. lots of parallels drawn between characters and situations ... gets a little contrived at times, but eminently worth reading.
