Reconstructing History through Centralising the Marginalised: A Study of potrayal of Uruvi by Kavita Kane in Karna's Wife : AN Outcast Queen

Specifically concentrating on female characters who are frequently marginalized by patriarchal narratives, this research study examines the subject of marginalization in Indian epics. This research explores the way women are portrayed in "Mahabharata," focusing on the marginalization of strong female characters who uphold the supremacy of the male protagonists. Kavita Kané's revisionist works give importance to characters from these epics, Uruvi, whose roles are highlighted in this examination. The article looks at how these characters defy patriarchal norms and gender roles via a feminist viewpoint. Women's voices and viewpoints are often silenced in conventional renditions of stories, but Kané's retellings give them a voice by centering them around the story.

Abstract

Specifically concentrating on female characters who are frequently marginalized by patriarchal narratives, this research study examines the subject of marginalization in Indian epics. This research explores the way women are portrayed in "Mahabharata," focusing on the marginalization of strong female characters who uphold the supremacy of the male protagonists. Kavita Kané's revisionist works give importance to characters from these epics, Uruvi, whose roles are highlighted in this examination. The article looks at how these characters defy patriarchal norms and gender roles via a feminist viewpoint. Women's voices and viewpoints are often silenced in conventional renditions of stories, but Kané's retellings give them a voice by centering them around the story.
