An Intense Story

This is the 21st Generation, and we have Gen X and the next generation citizens reigning the world. But what remains unchanged is the ever debatable books or epics like Ramayana and Mahabharatha. Also, it is to be observed that the women characters of these epics that were once confined to only the tales and the books are now being studied in detail.

There have been many books in the fiction genre emerging with this as the central topic. The female protagonists of the stories are the reflection or the mirror images of the then-women characters but in a new avatar! Be it queens or princesses or warrior princesses, many of them are inspired by these two epics.

In this connection, talking about Ira Mukhoty's book - Song of Draupadi stands apart!. Apart from the mentions of the ever-talked superheroes of the epic story, the main focus on the character of Draupadi is something worth reading. Mahabharata itself is a massive treasure box of tales in it, and weaving them together with Draupadi as the central character makes the book interesting.
