Big Deal???

Give your thoughts if you were Draupadi in that age and wanted to marry all 5 of them, how would you present your case - Bharatiya naari jaago aur lado equality ke liye😆

Krishna had 16,108 wives. Where did you get 36,000?

Ethically I do not consider Draupadi's position as anything admirable or even slightly similar to male counterparts like Krishna or Arjun. Polyandry was imposed on her, whereas polygamist kings and princes were free to choose or elope with anyone they pleased. Was Draupadi free to look for additional husbands beyond Pandavas? The straight answer is NO. Unless both the genders have equal freedom of choice, there cannot be any equality. So its faulty to assume that polyandry and polygyny are two sides of the same coin WRT Indian mythology.

Absolute nonsense. Please first read our scriptures and get your figures right. Next don't fall for Startbharat's interpretation of Mahabharat.

And for Pandavas, I haven't heard of any wives of Yudhishthir, Nakul and Sehdev. This probably means that they were quite devoted to Draupadi.
