Some modern "mahākāvya"s do not aim to satisfy all the traditional criteria, and take as their subject historical matter (such as Rewa Prasad Dwivedi's "Svatantrya Sambhavam" on the Indian independence movement, or K.N. Ezhuthachan's "Keralodayah" on the history of Kerala), or biographies of historical characters (such as S.B. Varnekar's "Shrishivarajyodayam" on Shivaji, M. S. Aney's "Sritilakayasornavah" on Bal Gangadhar Tilak, or P. C. Devassia's "Kristubhagavatam" on Jesus Christ). Some others like the "Śrībhārgavarāghaviyam" (2002) composed by Jagadguru Rāmabhadrācārya continue to have the subject of the traditional epics.
