Mythology, Revisionist, Feminism, Patriarchy
Mythology is considered as the root of Indian culture. We can learn an ideal way of living and the right attitude towards human beings and society with the help of the great epics like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. They are the milestone in Indian literature that reflect the feelings and emotions of the people. The teaching of these epics are communicated from one generation to another generation. People gain a lots of knowledge from those epics because these epics have a number of stories and characters to whom the readers are able to relate themselves. It will be true to say that literature is a reflection of the society whether it is in the form of epics, novels, Plays, non-fiction, short stories, poetry etc. They all narrate different societal characteristics of the particular time period. In mythology, we can find some male and female characters have gained a lot of attention and respect. They are considered to be the great examples for the society. Women are basically known for their challenging nature, always ready to sacrifice for the well-being of their family. But many female characters are not attained an essential place in Indian mythology. Indian mythology writer like Kavita Kane highlights such female characters and their crucial role.UruviKarna’s wife is also an unfamiliar character who has never been mentioned in mainstream description of the Mahabharata. The aim of this present paper is to explore Uruvi’s feminist journey and her active role to support Karna and his family.
