Hey Subha...The women should never be silent sufferers...it is they who should stand up for their rights...And Sati as she said yesterday, could not have killed Daksha as she would have caught in the karma bandhan...and she could not have dont that...Draupadi was one epic character...she actually was a taunting queen...sometimes considered to be bad...but the way she was treated and her husbands treated her as a commodity...she had rightly done so////

I dunno whether you're referring to the incident where she mocked Duryodhan after he fell into a pool in the Maya Mahal, but there are 2 accounts of this. In the Mahabharata itself, Draupadi was nowhere there to laugh & mock Duryodhan - it was actually done by the other 4 Pandavas (except of course Yudhisthir). However, Shrimad Bhagvatam does say that she mocked Duryodhan, and praises her for it. I don't think that even if she did, that she deserved to be humiliated like that in the Kaurava court. There were other ways that she could have been punished. No I am not refererring to that incident and no I am never EVER going to endorse such behaviour...as Kauravas had treated Draupadi...no amount of taunts can justify these actions..In fact if you see this thread..it is about women and their respect ..not otherwise ..

Also, to be fair, only Yudhisthir treated her as a commodity, but her other husbands sat silent as they never questioned him, no matter how stupid were his decisions. The moment they were given a free reign, they'd always take on her tormentors head on.Silence is as great a sin when it comes to this..as she had rightly put the question to Arjuna...that it was he who had won her hand in the Swayamvar..and he had no business sitting head down...he should have stood up...so should have others...If he had duties towards his brothers..so had he towards his wife...

On the above comparison, however, although I'm no fan of Daksha, I do think there is a difference. Daksha had held an yagna w/o inviting either Shiva or Sati, and was minding his own business - it was Sati who went there against Shiva's advice - something she regretted. However, in Draupadi's case, it was the Pandavas who were involuntarily invited for the game of dice, and Yudhisthir who gambled her, and Dushashan who dragged her, and Dhritarashtra just allowed that to happen. So those 2 are not the same - while Daksha did nothing to force Sati to come there and get insulted, Dhritarashtra implicitly did, by not punishing Dushashan or anyone else.

So bad as Daksha was, equating him w/ Dhritarashtra is being grossly unfair to the former.
