Leadnitrate.. From what citations I have read in the Different versions thread, I am quite sure how I understand 'Modern Rendering' is right.. I might read it if I ever feel interested but definitely wont bring that for my support into arguments..

So Diala is right when she says that author does try to interpret things his ways. It is Modern Rendering in terms of language as well as psychological interpretation of characters (ie what a novel is all about it.)

KMG on the other hands forces you to think objectively and draw your own inferences. Hence, we talk of citations from KMG. It prepares necessary groundwork for debate.

Anythings possible with star bharat

War might be over by fri 😆

Today's episode-basically filler epi to set the stage for MB to begin, plus Bheeshma's death. Liked the way they showed Karna getting clammy on seeing four enemies/brothers in front of him. Also SRJ's face, urgghhh I just love it when he gets to say the serious dialogues, he really looks like this mature divine person who knows much more than everybody else.

I really dislike the way they have chosen to portray Shikandi though. I guess CV's think because it's a primetime family show, idea of showing a woman changing into a man and then back to woman after death is tauba tauba. So you can show one woman being married to 5 men, same woman being staked and disrobed by own family members, then being harassed by two other men but god forbid we promote gender neutrality? Like even Supreme Court recognizes transgenders now, but Star B CV's won't.

I guess this is another misguided attempt as showing 'women's empowerment' like omg Pandavas have woman Senapati, but still by showing her as woman from start and not showing the humiliation and confusion she must have experienced, being raised as a man her whole life and having to play the role of one on battlefield-they are leaving out the complete story.

Anyway, I guess in context of Bheeshma's death it doesn't matter because he anyway didn't consider her a 'man' and he paid the price for it...

May be starbharath want it that way because he is much important than UPs😆😆😆

So RM is close to the actual text?, what is the actual text may i ask? ( Would not like to go deeper since she stated it as her opinion). I was not a fan of KMG, I hated it when the forum started, but now I get to know why its called the finest English Translation.

RM is a rendering/retelling and KMG is a translation.

Even if RM is considered a translation ( I am giving the book that to make it an argument at least ), it is not considered the finest English Translation and not at all as authentic as KMG.
