  • Chapter 6 Comparison of Attitude Towards Women In
    CHAPTER 6 COMPARISON OF ATTITUDE TOWARDS WOMEN IN THE ILIAD. THE ODYSSEY AND THE MAHABHARATA 199 After analysing the individual women characters in all these epics, it is possible to compare the attitudes towards women and their status in the two traditions. A) Women in the Greek epics : Critics like J. W. Mackail complain that Homer did not use all his skill in women's portrayal as he used it in the portrayal of men. He comments in Lectures on Greek Poetry— "Homer's women are likewise [like Shakespeare's] remarkable; yet one has the feeling throughout that they are only fragments, sparingly used and jealously scrutinized, of a lost world of poetry that may have held figures as great as those of Gudrun and Brynhild,>of Imogen or Cleopatra. Andromache and Penelope are the only two women in the foremost plane of action. Both are vivid and actual, as fully alive as men among whom they move. Yet in both it seems as if the poet made them live almost against his will, or against the will of his audience; as though he would rather have given, or they would rather have had given them, generalized portraits of the faithful wife and affectionate mother. The recognition of Odysseus by Penelope might have been treated with the same power and tenderness as the parting of Andromache and Hector; Is the Greek feeling about what was proper for women responsible for its being otherwise and have the limits of the harder Hellenic taste lost for us one of the greatest passages in poetry?"^ 200 As Mackail suggests, a sense of inferiority about women, whether they are aristocratic or piebian, is found almost everywhere in the two Greek epics.

  • Part 1: the Beginning of Mahabharat
    Mahabharat Story Credits: Internet sources, Amar Chitra Katha Part 1: The Beginning of Mahabharat The story of Mahabharata starts with King Dushyant, a powerful ruler of ancient India. Dushyanta married Shakuntala, the foster-daughter of sage Kanva. Shakuntala was born to Menaka, a nymph of Indra's court, from sage Vishwamitra, who secretly fell in love with her. Shakuntala gave birth to a worthy son Bharata, who grew up to be fearless and strong. He ruled for many years and was the founder of the Kuru dynasty. Unfortunately, things did not go well after the death of Bharata and his large empire was reduced to a kingdom of medium size with its capital Hastinapur. Mahabharata means the story of the descendents of Bharata. The regular saga of the epic of the Mahabharata, however, starts with king Shantanu. Shantanu lived in Hastinapur and was known for his valor and wisdom. One day he went out hunting to a nearby forest. Reaching the bank of the river Ganges (Ganga), he was startled to see an indescribably charming damsel appearing out of the water and then walking on its surface. Her grace and divine beauty struck Shantanu at the very first sight and he was completely spellbound. When the king inquired who she was, the maiden curtly asked, "Why are you asking me that?" King Shantanu admitted "Having been captivated by your loveliness, I, Shantanu, king of Hastinapur, have decided to marry you." "I can accept your proposal provided that you are ready to abide by my two conditions" argued the maiden. "What are they?" anxiously asked the king.

  • The Role of Women in the Mahabharata
    THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE MAHABHARATA The role of women in the Mahabharata makes an interesting study providing insight into the strengths and weaknesses of their character. In this epic, four women play crucial parts in the course of events. The first is Satyavati who was the daughter of the chieftain of fishermen. As a young maiden, while ferrying sage Parasara across a river, he fell in love with her. She bore him a son, Vyasa. He was brought up as an ascetic sage, but before he returned to forest life, he promised his mother he would come and help her whenever she faced difficulty. Later, the emperor Santanu fell in love with her. Her father consented to the marriage only on condition that her children would inherit the throne. Santanu’s older son, the crown prince Bhishma, not only voluntarily relinquished his right but also took the vow that he would remain celibate so that he could not have any children who might lay claim to the throne in the future. After Santanu passed away, Satyavati’s two sons died young. The older one was unmarried, and the younger had two wives, Ambika and Ambalika, who were childless. This created a crisis for there was no legal heir to the Kuru throne. Bhishma did not relent from his vow because he considered it sacred. At this juncture, Satyavati sent for her son Vyasa, who promptly responded per his earlier promise. Satyavati said the problem could be solved by his fathering a child through each of the two young widows.

  • A Study of Epic of Mahabharata
    WOMEN, SELFHOOD AND SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS:... Man In India, 97 (26) : 495-506 © Serials Publications WOMEN, SELFHOOD AND SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS: A STUDY OF EPIC OF MAHABHARATA Jayashree Ambewadikar* Abstract: The epic of Mahabharata is an important and as old as 4-8 BCE that narrates about the Kuru dynasty, Kurukshetra War and also the philosophical and devotional aspects of life cycle. The epic has central contribution of women in all aspect of life. Here the question is how do we locate women in the social institutional framework and what is their selfhood in the whole epic. This paper tries to study this issues with theoretico-analytical framework of socio-anthropological, indological and feminist perspective to analyse location of women in the social institutions like family, marriage, kinship, caste system/varna system, education, polity and economy along with existence of customs, traditions, organisations etc. to be strictly followed by women and at the same time analyse how women’s selfhood is evolved within the structure of power and authority throughout the epic of Mahabharata. Keywords: Women, Selfhood, Power, Social Institutions, Mahabharata, India. INTRODUCTION The epic Mahabharata is an important epic in the world and as old as 4-8 BCE. Mahabharata is not the product of one or a few authors, but the results of the combined efforts of poets of many generations. The epic narrates the Kuru dynasty, the Kurukshetra War and also philosophical and devotional aspects of life cycle. The epic is about the struggle of succession for the Kuru dynasty of Hastinapura. The fight of succession is between the two branches of the Kuru family.

  • A Summary of the Mahabharata
    A Summary of The Mahabharata by Aneeta Sundararaj (heavily augmented by Amy Allison) http://www.homehighlight.org/humanities-and-science/cultures/a-summary-of-the-mahabharata.html The Mahabharata is an epic that comprises one hundred thousand stanzas of verse divided into eighteen books, or parvas. It is the largest single literary work in existence. Originally composed in the ancient language of Sanskrit sometime between 400 BC and 400 AD, it is set in a legendary era thought to correspond to the period of Indian culture and history in approximately the tenth century BC. The original “author” was Vyasa who tried to tell about the Great War between the Pandavas and the Kauravas - cousins who claimed to be the rightful rulers of a kingdom. The background to get to where the epic starts is very confusing (in medias res). I’ll present the background a bit here just to lay the groundwork. Background King Santanu married a strange woman he found by the river. They had many children and she drowned all of them (I told you she was strange). The king stopped her from downing the last child (a boy). She then said she was a goddess and that this child was a god but had to remain on earth as punishment for stealing a sacred cow in a past life. The child was named Devavratha, but to confuse you he is called Bhishma (one of firm vow). The goddess went back to wherever it is that goddesses go, and the king continued ruling. One day he fell in love with a woman who ran a ferry; her name was Satyavathi.

  • A Study of the Characters in the Great Indian Novel by Shashi Tharoor
    International Journal of Business, Humanities and Technology Vol. 1 No. 2; September 2011 The Parody of the Sacred: A Study of the Characters in the Great Indian Novel by Shashi Tharoor Dr. Punyashree Panda Assistant Professor in English Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar, India. Ms. Sulagna Mohanty Research Scholar School of HSSM Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar, India Abstract This paper seeks to explore the elements of Parodia sacra present in the text The Great Indian Novel by Shashi Tharoor. Intermingled with myth, Tharoor’s novel playfully stretches from the 1930s to 1980s India. From the choosing of the sacred text to exploring the characters with a new postcolonial perspective, Tharoor shows his colossal force to transform the epic The Mahabharata into parodia sacra through a contemporary fictional re- telling of same through his aforementioned novel. This paper aims at finding the parodic components and the revisionist discourse existent in the text by a meticulous study of the characters portrayed in The Great Indian Novel. Key Words: Myth, Parody, Sacred Text, Satire, Humour, Imitation, Postcolonial, Postmodern. Introduction Intermingled with myth, the novel The Great Indian Novel by Shashi Tharoor (1989) goes back to the period of pre-independence era with the backdrop of Indian political movements. Acutely aware of the colonial gaze reserved for a literary production by a diasporic Asian male writer, Tharoor gives the world exactly what it seeks from him- a parodist discourse. Thus, parody provides the instrument for mocking traditions and creates a literary space where the postcolonial, postmodern author can indulge in a playful mocking of the self as well as the nation.
