The foundation of Hindu thought is made of sacred tales of gods, kings and sages. The Mahabharata is a beautiful, yet complex maze of different stories, characters and themes that are woven in the broader story of a fight between two sets of cousins. It is a poetic representation of many facets of life while simultaneously reflecting various relationships and status of women in society. Women played an essential role during the Mahabharata. Everywhere in the Epic, the Indian woman is described as beautiful and of high moral character. Different expressions are used to describe the personality and beauty of women. Behind this physical beauty lies a more dark and twisted truth.
This article shall analyse the various roles women play in their lives during the Mahabharata. Instead of focussing on individual anecdotes, the author shall do a theme-wise study. An analysis of the role of a woman as a wife and a mother is done and the article concludes with a brief analysis of the legislation and role of women in society as we know it today.
