Exploring The Portrayal Of Female Trauma Pertaining Resistance In Mahasweta Devi's "Draupadi"

Abstract

This article takes a gander at how Mahasweta Devi's brief story ­­­"Draupadi", portrays women commitment to progressive praxis. Is Devi romanticizing the female progressiveness on the imperatives of hostile to state activity? This inquiry prompts the accentuation of the story on patriotism as represented by the state. The nationalist crisis fortifies Mahasweta Devi's heroine protagonist in her work "Draupadi", aggravation permits her to rise above legend, to such an extent that "Draupadi," the legendary body, is recreated, bringing the feminine body and sexuality into play (as Dopdi) as the centre of obstruction. Mahasweta Devi's utilization of the Draupadi story as a model for the inferior female features hope issues, training how the legends (like the Sita fantasy) are supported while ambiguities inside others (like the Draupadi fantasy) minimize women. Her protagonist is taken among tales, and the best way to acquire the actual setting is through outrageous, "startling" measures, whether just anecdotal accounts.
