An excellent read.
If you can go back and forth while reading and can keep up with multiple plots at a time then this book is one of the best example of intricate stories. It requires patients to understand where the book is going. If you stay put you will get to read an amazing tale which includes politics, religion, cults, murders, mystery and how a human mind works. Yet again ashwin sanghi showed how amazing his writing is.

An Honest Review!
The Rozabal Line is a mixed bag. While its ambition and research are commendable, the execution suffers from a cluttered narrative and an overreliance on exposition. Readers who enjoy Dan Brown-esque thrillers and are comfortable with a complex narrative structure might find this book engaging. However, those seeking a more streamlined and suspenseful experience may be disappointed.

Gripping but let's down
From the very first page the story is gripping n will not allow you to keep the book down.However, half way through the book you start wondering where it's going.3/4th way you get heavily confused as he starts contradicting himself.By the end you'll start banging your head to the wall, especially if you are an Indian Hindu.Sacred Feminine is True.Hindu Concept of Deities are True.Concept of Time, Death, Karma, Reincarnation all are True.No, Jesus didn't come to India.No, Mary Magdalene is not from Maghada.No, Krishna is not Christ.But I'll give you this, he has a wonderful way of story telling and and way for misdirection about history.Read with an open mind. Few are facts others are just exaggeration.1st few chapters n last few chapters are all that's needed.Dan Brown had single agenda, to tell that jesus has a bloodline. Ashwini Sanghi took too many unwanted concepts n put them all in one book which goes nowhere. He could have made 10 other books from the concepts in this book.Research is excellent.

The Rosabal Line Review
This is a theological thriller mystery, which redefines the whole idea of religion. Author Ashwin Sanghi has woven together different Mythological stories with conspiracy theories in contemporary world with full conviction. His extensive research carries an authority of an Historian and his writing style is truly world class. Author brings out so many similarities among the religions and civilizations which are difficult to believe but seemingly true.It is very strange to see that how the guardians of a religion see the terrorism violence by another religion. For example author writes that "Valerio was quite happy if there was stepped up Islamic radicalism all over the world. It would only make Christians more devout. In fact, history recorded the Christian crusades as being an outcome of early Islamic victories."The fictional story is well supported by the work of others which are given in the reference section in the end of the book, for example Gospels of Philip, Holy blood, Holy Grail, King Jesus, The fifth gospel etc. Author has used his linguistic skills to decode the meaning of names and create/define the anagrams like the Brahma and Abraham, Kishna and Christna, Magdalene and Magadh, Yeshu and Yeshoda, La Sara Kali and La-xmi Sara-swati Kali, Rosabal and line of Rose etc etc.Main story is based on the conspiracy theories (author has quoted enough evidences many of which are too old) about the supposed survival of Lord from the crucifixion and his marriage to Mary Magdalene. Author details similarities between Yuz Asaf and Jesus. As per the book, after the crucifixion Jesus and Mary Magdalene came to Kashmir, India and had a daughter La Sara Kali. There is constant war between Priory of Sion and Crux Decussata Permuta. They have different motives one wants to save while other wants to destroy the bloodline. Interestingly Opus Dei, Illuminati, Rhodes, Skull and Bones, RAW, CIA, ISI, Mosad and Al qaeda etc all are involved in this war. Ashwin Sanghi explains that how Jesus might have been inspired by Hinduism and Buddhism as a youth and his preaching’s are in line with those two religions. The book claims that all the major religions are linked together as they all are evolved from one.I think one should read this book with open mind with desire to learn various things about major religions.

A historical mystery
It is an intriguing and thought-provoking thriller that explores the intersection of religion, history, and mystery. Ashwin Sanghi's skillful blending of fact and fiction creates a compelling narrative that challenges readers to question established beliefs and consider alternative perspectives. The novel is a must-read for those interested in historical mysteries and speculative fiction.

disappointed
30% read, still no proper story to follow.40% read, still nothing to follow. jump straight to last chapter, it's enough to read the story. that's it. worth just 1 chapter to know what the author's trying to say. the book is now like the author's interpretation of different events that happened around the world in different timeline and trying to join them together based on his belief which can easily be done in the name of fiction by just adding 1% story to it and easily avoid controversies. it would have been interesting if the timeline jumps were less and the concentration had been in a single thing. if you want to read the full story, just read the final chapter that's all the entire story comprises of. started off with great expectations but had to skip 50% of story bcz there's no story in most of content.
