Mahabharat e Janabidroher Upadan by Debidas Acharya [Hardcover]

"Even after many ages since the compilation phase of the Mahabharata, its reading is still essential. It is undeniable that Indian society is still influenced, directly or indirectly, by Mahabharata’s philosophy. The ten essays in this book put this truth to the test from various perspectives. The Mahabharata has been examined in the light of contemporary demands. The ancient body of this epic has been thoroughly analyzed with modern, sharp instruments. Through various events of the Mahabharata, issues such as social inequality, gender discrimination, conflicts and enmities, justice and injustice, submission and protest in our society are discussed. Generally, we see the Mahabharata through the eyes of the Pandavas. We feel their joys and sorrows. In the context of today's social reality, that may not be enough. Therefore, the discussed topics are tried to be seen as objectively as possible, in contrast to traditional beliefs, alongside higher-level interpretations—through questions and counter-questions. They are interpreted in the multifaceted context of history, politics, and economics. This remarkable and evergreen epic book carries an amazing message."
