I would have loved to do Shikhandi. I would actually make him a gay man. There has to be a reason why Drupad wasn't fond of his eldest son
But am already doing G and SHakuni. If we don't have anyone else for Shikhandi, I will volunteer

Hey anu,
Why shikhandi should be a man, why not lesbian...

geee...
I wish she was a woman..then she would have been the only woman in battlefield and one who took down bhishma the second best warrior after govind...as woman I would love that...would have been poetic justice too. After what he does to Amba..sex change operation wouldn't work? As per KMG she did have one...when she married she was a woman. Due to scandal she had to leave when she met the yaksh sthunakarna who changed her sex

What if she gives up the children to her family...a promise to give all her children to her own family.from Santanu...in the epic she is river Ganga and drowns the children in herself...maybe she is from a matrilineal tribe where the custody of children has to be given to her tribe...Santanu agrees initially but by the time 8 is born is no longer willing to let go...so as a compromise Ganga keeps the child till he grows up and then hands him back...and because Santanu breaks his promise leaves him...like chitrangadA and Arjun with babruvahan...

Santanus brother also becomes king of vahlika, their mothers kingdom...so initially maybe Santanu is ok with it because his brother has done that and he madly in love with Ganga so is willing to accept all conditions,,, but 8 years later has a change of heart...that can also explain why Ganga has to leave him...tribe rules...




I am liking this more than the other ideas...

@Adi
I would love for Shikhandi to be a woman. And I hope whoever does Grandpa will show him racked with guilt over Amba.

Unfortunately, not only did he father children, there is a description of him by Bheem which suggests he was all man. The only reason we can even suggest sexuality here is because Bheeshma actually claims him to be a woman.

@Amrita/Adi
I think the only thing we are allowed to change are the magical incidents. So if Ganga killed, we actually have to say she killed. I think the miscarriage fits better here

Infact, Urmila, if you go with your idea, will you consider make the killings abortion instead of infanticide?

Vaisampayana's Note:

Hey everyone,

Before we proceed into the story further, I would like you all to pay attention to the following things...I am sure, that everyone here is well aware of the rules...We will certainly exercise creative liberty..However, that creative liberty should have some basis in the story.

We all are aware that Mahabharat has various versions, and we all would like to selectively choose our favourite parts from different versions, and try to make our own story. However, we also have to keep in mind that Mahabharat is a story, that invites fan-wars...We have had enough of fan-wars in various threads...For once, let us avoid it, and work together in unison to weave an amazing story.

To keep this thread peaceful, and friendly, I would request the Vyaasas to not be partial to their favourites, and hurt sentiments of other fans, by writing things based on favouritism. Let me illustrate this with an example...
In Mahabharat, both Karna and Arjun are great warriors...Both have empowered the other on various cases...However, it is not clear, as to who was the greater warrior...
Now I am sure that, both fan groups would want their own favourite to be the best, but unfortunate, Vyaasa did not exactly specify anything...So, Vyaasas of both Karna and Arjun, please glorify your characters, wherever necessary, but dont demean the other by any kind of narrow comparison.

Similarly, this epic has many pairs...YuDi, BheemDi, Ardi, ArSu, etc...
Please do not write the equations of the couples based on your own favouritism...Write wat is there in the epic...
Example: Draupadi loved Arjun the most is given in the epic...Whether we consider that interpolation is another factor. But it is clearly hinted at...
However, whom, Yudisthir, Arjun, Nakul, Sahadev, Karna, Duryodhan, etc loved most is not given.
So, u may create beautiful love scenes between the pairs, but please DO NOT disregard any other husband/wife, owing to your own favouritism. This is a request to ALL the Vyaasas.

Try to show the perspective of the respective characters through their emotions, but overall, please maintain an unbiased approach.

I know, I am sounding like a judge...😆...But please maintain neutrality and ambiguity, in controversial parts. And even if u want to make an opinion, do so with proper citation and proofs. Radhika and I may give counter citations and edit it, if we find the citations to be not enough. However, if there is a conflict, then majority votes will prevail.

@Anu di, I will do that change if everybody agrees with it 😊 I too liked this idea but epic clearly says floating on river current so could not do so in fear of breaking rules 😆 let me see if others too want this change.

@Vaishampayan, after seeing your note, I'm feeling nervous 😭 okay I will never demean anybody or any pair because my character does not use insulting words. But may I glorify him when needed?

But we don't know about some parts of his life which are not written in text, say childhood days of schooling or relationship with Draupadi 😔 those parts will be imaginary. But I always try to glorify him keeping track with his basic character in text (if you read my FF then you know this). For example, if he gives some lecture to his brothers or someone else which is not written in epic, will that be okay because giving lecture on scriptures is his basic nature...or will it be over-glorification 😕
