Sad fact of history, whatever anyone believes India was deeply patriarchal starting round the time of Parshuram till even today.

Which means that women were property and not Humans with independence.

A woman could not decide for herself if she wanted to study, choose an occupation for herself, decide whom she wanted to marry. Where she wanted to live, and how she wanted to die.

Those decisions were made for her by her father before marriage, by her husband after her marriage and by son if husband died.

When you bring this point up people will try saying no you are wrong, women were allowed to study Vedas, women were allowed to be trained in martial arts even charioteering like Kaikeyi, they were allowed to marry men of their choice in the swayamavar.

Notice the word allowed in above sentences.

Someone had to give them permission to do what they wanted.

So when Kunti chooses Pandu in her swayamavar she is able to because her father Kuntibhoj allowed her to.

Term used for Draupadi marriage is Swayamavar, but she was only allowed to marry the man who won the contest. If multiple men won it she may have had the choice of picking one among them provided he is physically well and from a glorious family. That is the announcement of Dhrishtadyumn. If someone lost she had no permission to marry him even if She loved him

But Karna failed And only Arjun won so the choice ended there itself.

She could have protested, refused, rejected. But that would make her situation worse where she will be abandoned.

Just like in case of Karna. If she had rejected him her situation would have become worst. All Kshatriya would have taken his side and she may be abandoned or kidnapped and handed over to his charioteer saying that is the punishment for your temerity and no one would say a word to Karna, unless there was someone stronger than Karna amongst them who would take her as his prize after defeating Karna and other kings

Like Duryodhan himself does to Kalinga princess

BOLD Purple -- true fact of life that even prevails today!

Awesome discussions folks!! Enjoyed reading it all and some facts were new to me, so my sincere thanks!!!!! :) 🤗

The melodramatic imprisonment is there in Bhagvata Purana.

Bhagvata Purana was written much later though.

The most authentic source about Krishna is MB and next Harivamsa. They were written earlier so must be closer to fact.

MB is?????? Is this Bhagvatam or mahabharat???? Had to ask so that I dont assume

It is so sad that all these Show makers and Producers do not realize what a responsibility they shoulder!! The mass believes what they show and hence they should atleast stick to the closest reality or possibility by reading the scriptures properly. Their definition of "creativity" gives all kinds of false interpretations to the audience.

The fact is many will not read the scriptures/puranas to know what could have happened or to know the almost real story. They would just see these shows and relate the same story to the younger generations. I think only 30% of the population really is interested in its history and reads up to know facts. I might be incorrect though.

Mahabharat is the oldest text on krishna. there is a mention of his battle with Indra in Rig Veda, though. Indra calls him Krishnasur😆. If Pandava side had lost, the entire lot plus Krishna would likely have been called asurs.

Can't deny more...

Fiction shows can be illogical to some point ..But root of story being mythological must not been missed out.

Krishna cursed Samba due to krishna junior wives Samba crap issue but har baath har samay radha is dragged

I saw the the Insta post and was 😆.

Do the makers hate Krishna?

Seriously, my sympathies are not exactly with Samba at this time, but he seems to have justification for what he does. Also, Jambavati.

Daddy is roaming around with a woman married to someone else, and her word becomes law even in Jambavati's household. To the point that Samba gets no positive attention from Krishna even when he is a mere child. Things escalate, and instead of examining what is going wrong, all blame is heaped on Samba who gets cursed with what is an incurable disease at the time. Any woman in Jambavati's position would've done more than curse.

Why didn't they simply show the actual story? Samba in Krishna texts is a privileged, entitled brat all by himself, not because of Radha. He rapes Lakshmana. Krishna refuses to save him from Kauravas in spite of Jambavati begging. Balram saves Samba. Then, Samba proceeds to sleep with Krishna's wives and gets cursed. Eventually, he mocks the rishis until he gets his entire clan cursed.

(all this is still keeping with the supernatural; I don't believe Swastik will bother looking for rational explanations)

Presented as is, the story would've actually shown why Samba was a villain. Here, in spite of the production house's efforts, Radha and Krishna are coming across as immensely dislikable characters.

Argh. What am I saying? There was no Radha! Swastik's efforts to take Jayadeva's fan fiction and inject her into the entire Krishna story has turned the tale into an Ekta Kapoor soap opera.
