Abstract

Feminism is a word that can be found in books, on social media, in print media, and in the expressions of so-called intellectuals. This is a burning era. Because this epic is so huge and each character is so powerful, every great writer, thinker, and literature lover has written from the perspective of various Mahabharta characters. Draupadi will be shown not only as an unsung heroine in the Hindu epic Mahabharata, but also as a role model for women's empowerment and resistance in the face of injustices. Her capacity to triumph over adversity in a venerable manner distinguishes her from other women. As a result, Draupadi becomes Hindu literature's most complicated and divisive female heroine. She could be womanly, empathetic, and generous on the one hand, yet wreak devastation on people who had offended her on the other. She was never willing to compromise on her rights as a daughter-in-law or the Pandavas' rights, and she was always ready to fight back or avenge any injustices meted out to her with zeal. She is considered a feminist pioneer. The subversion theory will be used to support the article's claim. This article will show how, despite her suffering, Draupadi was able to overcome her difficulties and persevere where other women would have given up. You'll find it more engaging and fascinating if you look at it from different writers' perspectives.
