Abstract

Mythology and Modernism are poles apart with reference to time. But if we analyse each and every aspect of modern world, people living in this world as well as the contemporary situations, we will be able to find the presence and influence of mythology in each of these. Mythological literature plays a very important role, even in the modern society as they form the basis of our thinking, mentality, perspective and personality. The trend started by contemporary writers of recreating the different colours of myth on the canvas of contemporary society can really become masterpieces in reforming the way we look at certain things and groups. This paper discuses one such masterpiece that beautifully blends the colours of the mythological literature, the Mahabharata, with the contemporary modern Delhi to recreate strong, brave and exemplary women characters of the Mahabharata who made their own decisions and changed the course of their lives.
