Mahabharater Nari by Dhiresh Chandra Bhattacharya [Hardcover]

Mahabharat remains a mental refuge for the people of India even today. In its vast backdrop, the myriad radiant characters of Mahabharat, in all their varied forms, continue to be imbued with meaning, resonating with the complexities of life. In his new book, Mahabharater Narī (The Women of Mahabharat), famous for his earlier work Mahabharater Ekshoto Durlabh Muhurt (One Hundred Rare Moments of Mahabharat), Dhireshchandra Bhattacharya now writes about the lives of the women in Mahabharat. These women, whether daughters, wives, or mothers, have enriched the grand narrative of India in different forms, sometimes even becoming the dominant forces in the tale. Their influence extends beyond the events of Mahabharat and has impacted the future as well. The lives of Aditi, Urvashi, Satyavati, Gandhari, Kunti, Madri, Hidimba, Ulupi, Tapati, Subhadra, Satyabhama, and Sudeshna are discussed in this work, shedding new light on the pivotal roles they played. This book, based on Vyasa's original Mahabharat, stands as a significant contribution to Bengali discussions on Mahabharat.
