Actually women back then were more powerful especially when it came to their household they had a say in what went in their house and marital life they also made decisions and a husband would often consult with his wife to make some decision it is not new or unique.



Yes, husbands were the heads of the family but women were also important and did hold some power in their marriage and family life. Atleast it happened in both Brahman and Kshatriya varn.

Same goes for characters people interpret MB characters in diffenret ways this is CV's interpretation not ours but certainly our interpretation is not a fact nor is CV's.

I never said Women were not powerful back then. I only meant that they way they spoke to their husbands was very different from what is being shown in the serial. They spoke more softly, more respectfully, more humbly. I am saying this based on what is written in the original MB.

That doesn't mean it diluted their power in any way.

No no no no I was not criticizing you, I was just making a point Varali 😊
I know your knowledge is far ahead of me dear

And I totally agree with you in those days women were very very feminine not like the way they are showing in Mahabharat. Especially Amba was more masculine then feminine and I did not like the first scene of Satyawati 😆 the way she was presenting herself as most ambitious woman and anything for becoming a queen. Sorry I misunderstood you dear. 🤗

I do agree with you to some extent. But perhaps this change is for the new age audience.
Even I've felt the technology is a bit over used and they need to tone down.

Characters are loud...Star plus's effect 😆
I guess they don't know how to differentiate between our greatest epic and their trash daily soaps.

I just hated Madri's death scene. Bheeshm and only Bheeshm had Iccha-mrityu boon 😆

Shruti, we are all new age generation and most of us are not liking this over tech thing, whatever generation, we all look for quality product and some dignity and sophistication especially when our religious matters are concerned. Automatically, we are programmed to like certain things in particular ways especially our grand parents condition us like this.

Had it been a general serial or movie then I don't think so many people would have opposed it but this is our religious text showing, so all our expectations are based on quality stuff which show our heroes in dignified and respectful ways.

I can understand twist in making a show but this is hardly a twist it is outright distortion.

At least this is my opinion.

I actually like the technology of Mahabharat. It is the most attractive factor about the show. We must remember that the previous yugas did not look the same as now. Of course, I doubt Hastinapur looked as mystical and divine as the CVs are showing it, but the previous yugas did have mysticism and divinity in them, which is difficult for us to comprehend.

I really dont think we can comment on what most of the people...

Sabhyata, I have said this before and I will say it again that I will say whatever I feel like saying in this forum and after reading comments of all the members here and people I know who are also criticizing this programme have I said whatever I did. As for TRPs who knows what is working behind those TRPs I never believe in these so called TRPs. I couldn't even careless. I am free to do so.

I know you are crazy about this show that is why whenever some negative comments are made against it, you start defending it. Good, extremely good but please you have to understand that not everyone is as crazy as you. There are some other people who are a little less crazy about this show.

Sabhyata, I have said this before and I will say it again and again, please ignore my comments since you do not like them just as I ignore your comments or those comments which I do not like just as rest of the members do.

Please stop telling me what I can post here and it is not as if I have abused the show or anything or character or member I have just responded to a post what I think we new age people want in a show in general terms since that post also mentioned in general terms. Please read and understand then comment.

Stop telling me what I can write or not. I am following rules I expect my fellow India Forum visitors to do the same.

@ Red and Bold: Madri killed herself by entering Pandu's pyre. It was not Ichchha Mrityu, the way it was shown. It was suicide, out of the guilt of becoming the reason to kill her husband.
