Reinventing Sati and Sita: a Study of Amish Tripathi's Central Women Characters from a Feminist Perspective Abstract
ADALYA JOURNAL ISSN NO: 1301-2746 Reinventing Sati and Sita: A Study of Amish Tripathi’s Central Women Characters from a Feminist Perspective T.V. Sri Vaishnavi Devi [email protected] 9043526179 Assistant Professor and Research Scholar Department of English (UG Aided) Nallamuthu Gounder Mahalingam College Pollachi. Dr. A.Srividhya 9894086190 [email protected] Assistant Professor and Research Supervisor Department of English (UG Aided) Nallamuthu Gounder Mahalingam College Pollachi. Abstract In the age old mythical narratives, women were seen from the androcentric perspective and were portrayed as creatures that are inferior to men by all means. The customs and traditions created by the patriarchal world suppressed women to an extent where she become a dumb doll, unable to express her talents and capabilities. Revisioning myth interprets the myth from a new angle. Revisioning mythmaking is one of the emerging trends in literature at present. The critical discourse of revisionist mythmaking attempts to revision, reinterpret and reconstruct the age-old myth from a feminist perspective. It gives voice to the voiceless beings and challenges the patriarchal notions of feminine identity. Amish Tripathi, India’s first literary pop star and a contemporary Indian myth maker, rereads and rewrites the ancient Indian epics by utilizing the strategy of revisionist myth-making. This paper examines the way Amish Tripathi has subverted the androcentric mythical narratives by creating a new identity for the mythical woman characters, Sati and Sita. It traces the challenges faced by these central women characters and highlights bravery and efficacy as leaders which help them to undermine the power structures of male-dominated society.

Analysis of Hindu Widowhood in Indian Literature Dipti Mayee Sahoo
IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 21, Issue 9, Ver. 7 (Sep. 2016) PP 64-71 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Analysis Of Hindu Widowhood In Indian Literature Dipti Mayee Sahoo Asst. Prof. SociologyTrident Academy of Creative technology,Bhubaneswar Abstract:- In ancient India, women occupied a very important position, in fact a superior position to, men. It is a culture whose only words for strength and power are feminine -"Shakti'' means "power'' and "strength.'' All male power comes from the feminine. Literary evidence suggests that kings and towns were destroyed because a single woman was wronged by the state. For example, Valmiki's Ramayana teaches us that Ravana and his entire clan was wiped out because he abducted Sita. Veda Vyasa'sMahabharatha teaches us that all the Kauravas were killed because they humiliated Draupadi in public. ElangoAdigal'sSillapathigaram teaches us Madurai, the capital of the Pandyas was burnt because PandyanNedunchezhiyan mistakenly killed her husband on theft charges. "In Hinduism, the momentous event of a foundation at one point in time, the initial splash in the water, from which concentric circles expand to cover an ever-wider part of the total surface, is absent. The waves that carried Hinduism to a great many shores are not connected to a central historical fact or to a common historic movement. " Key words:- Feminine, sakti, strength, humiliation, power. I. INTRODUCTION In this age of ascending feminism and focus on equality and human rights, it is difficult to assimilate the Hindu practice of sati, the burning to death of a widow on her husband's funeral pyre, into our modern world.

Debjani Paul RAMAYANA EPISODES IN HIMACHAL PAINTINGS: THE LEIDEN COLLECTION PAINTINGS As it has been throughout the ages elsewhere in South and South-East Asia, Ramayana, the famous epic extolling the heroic acts of the ‘ideal' King Rama, also enjoyed quite some popularity among the masses in a large tract of the Western Himalayan foothills.1 Nowhere in this region is it more tangible than in the miniature paintings of the former Punjab Hill States, now known as Himachal Pradesh in India. From the 17th to the 19th century, painting was a common enough accomplishment in the majority of the principalities between Basohli in the west to Kulu in the east. Most notable among them were Kangra and Chamba where well-known episodes from the Rama epic received much attention of skillful court artists and their devout patrons. HIMACHAL Among the modest holding of Indian Art in the Museum Volkenkunde (National Museum of Ethnology) in Leiden there is an as yet little-known group of Ramayana illustrations of Chamba-Kangra origin. These miniatures IN form a substantial part of the ‘Vogel Collection’ which was acquired by the museum nearly half a century ago.2 During his prolonged stay in India the outstanding Dutch scholar, J.Ph. Vogel (1871-1958), made several trips to both Chamba and Kangra. While doing his extensive 1902-1908 archaeological fieldwork in the Ravi and Beas valleys, Vogel was able to collect pieces for which people at that time cared very little.3 The Ramayana illustrations in the museum consist of 21 leaves. Other than a rather exceptional example which is indeed embellished with multiple colours, the rest are virtually all monochrome line-drawings.

The theory for but it is may not hold good latter-day society ; eminently applicable to a particular stage in the history of almost every nation. In such a state of society the energy and exuberance of youth find expression in vigorous action, *n deeds of might and valour. The individual asserts himself against old bonds and old ties, which are replaced by new. " " Yet for what we call a Heroic Age something more is necessary. The heroism must be there ; but the hero must have someone to commemorate his acts. This record of his deeds is not a product of the imagination or the brain of a later time it there then the ; originates and with performance of the heroic action. We have extant such poetic records in the literature of various countries, poems which though " widely separated from one another both in date and place " of origin present strikingly similar features.

The Uses of Jain Sati Name Lists
8 THINKING COLLECTIVELY ABOUT JAIN SATIS The uses of Jain sati name lists M. Whitney Kelting Jains venerate virtuous women (satis) who are virtuous and who, through their virtue, protect, promote, or merely uphold Jain values and the Jain religion. Jains narrate the lives of satis both individually and in the context of Jain Universal Histories (such as the Fvetambar Trisastifalakapurusacaritra of Hemacandra and the Digambar Adipuraja of Jinasena) and some of these satis are named in early Jain texts like the Fvetambar Kalpa Sutra. Fvetambar Jains also list satis (often sixteen of the following names: Brahmi, Sundari, Candanbala, Rajimati, Draupadi, Kaufalya, Mrgavati, Sulasa, Sita, Subhadra, Fiva, Kunti, Filavati, Damayanti, Puspacula, Prabhavati, and Padmavati) who stand in for the greater totality of satis. They also have more inclusive lists which extend the title sati to an unbounded number of women. Sati lists, through their fluidity and their inclusivity, serve as representatives of the totality of women’s virtue and as such are efficacious primarily by creating auspiciousness but also by reducing karma. While satis are revered in all Jain sects, this discussion is centered on the ways that Fvetambar Murtipujak Tapa Gacch Jains have constructed the idea of collectivities of satis.1 At present there are five gacchs (mendicant lineages) of Fvetambar Murtipujak Jain mendicants: Tapa, Añcal, Khartar, Paican, and Tristuti. Between 85 and 90 percent of the Fvetambar Murtipujak mendicants belong to the Tapa Gacch, which was formed in
