Fount this on net so thought of sharing it with you all.

It tells about the 3 women in Mahabharat.

The men play dice and wage wars in Mahabharata , as anywhere else ; but it is the women who wield power and influence. It is the women who take decisions , direct the course of events and decide the fate of men and their generations to follow. The women are the true leaders of the Epic The three women in particular who wielded power in more than one form were Sathyavathi the dusky fragrant fisher girl who became the queen , Pritha the fair maiden who reluctantly became the mother of five sons and Krishnaa , daughter of the fire , Druapadi. The Epic is interwoven with their remarkable sagacity in exercise of their power and leadership. Some say the Epic , in a way , is a study in use and abuse of power.These women displayed that the truly powerful do not cling to power. They knew when and how to wield it but also, even more important, to when not to use it

Thanks for these write ups. Is it okay if I post the Draupadi one in her AT also? A lot of people would love to read it there.

I do NOT understand why Kunti is praised so much ? Is she not the person without any heart let go Karna in the river ?
Even animals that have 5 sense take care of their kith and kin, a cow would lick its calf with affection and protect it from danger. This kunti supposedly great lady shamelessly reveals her identity during war and begs for protecting her other sons.

Is it not her dharm to protect her baby ? Any
Details on her journey after death ? Please don't tell she went to heaven
