Yes, not only was she courageous but also a very intelligent lady. That famous question shows her presence of mind and her intelligence. If they don't show that, they would have also diluted the strength of her character. Then there is no difference between her and any soap ki heroine who lashes against the system. I know I'm not supposed to say it on this thread, but BRC version scores way above SB here. I watched the old version where Draupadi confronts the sabha...that was something


I agree, they should not do away with the question. It is her question that forces the sabha to introspect what they know of dharma and acknowledge how ambiguous it could be. It is her question that differentiates between the written word of law and universal values of justice and highlights how fallible our idea of dharma can be and how it needs to be adapted to the prevailing times and the situation. They have already established that Draupadi was an intelligent, fearless and dignified woman when she intervened in the dicegame to stop it. This question would bring out another of her qualities-presence of mind in the face of personal adversity as bheegi pointed out.

@ashwi...let's hope Draupadi will stump them with this question: how can a slave wager someone else? Then it would a question of a slave's rights on his wife vs no rights on another human being..

I understood the logic of Yuddhi's return to the dice table. The lawyer in me understood perfectly where Skakuni had succeeded and humanity was lost.
I cried for the character then and again when Dury stripped him of the utariya and threatened his beloved wife... the worst was watching him play dice on his knees knowing he was going to lose Draupadi.😭😭

StarFiction logic so far is interesting...I look forward to their carry through with Draupadi's question track.

Yudi on knees was heartbreaking really.. Dury should have kicked Yudi's throne/chair just before that when Y walks in for the game
