The Other Kurukshetra offers a powerful feminist re-examination of the Mahabharata through the lens of two often-misunderstood women—Draupadi and Amba. Drawing from the novels The Palace of Illusions by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and The One Who Had Two Lives by Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan, this scholarly work explores the silencing, exploitation, and victim-blaming of women within patriarchal traditions. By tracing their struggles, voices, and suppressed narratives, the book challenges long-held perceptions and gives agency back to the women once cast as mere pawns in a war not of their making.
