Barack Obama, former president of the United States, had once revealed that Indian epics Mahabharata and Ramayana have a special place in his heart. He wrote in his book titled The Promised Land that "India always held a special place in my imagination. Maybe it was because I had spent a part of my childhood in Indonesia listening to the epic Hindu tales of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata…” Mahabharata is one of the incredible epics where several world administrators beget wisdom from it. This paper assesses a critical view of our nation India through Mahabharata. The paper also analyses the epic as a perfect piece of literature, picturing Indian culture's origin in Mahabharata's canvas. Sage Vaisampayana, the disciple of Vyasa, recites Mahabharata for the first time to King Janamejaya at his sarpasatra in Takshasila, modern Pakistan. Later at Naimisaranya, on the Gomti river banks near Lucknow, it was narrated by Ugrasravas, showing how the epic was stored, memorized, and transmitted orally during different historical periods. During a conclave of sages headed by Saunaka, at Naimisaranya, Ugrasrava Sauti, son of Lomaharsana, again narrates the Mahabharata.
