Mahabharater Nepothyobashini by Lokenath Chakraborty [Hardcover]

জননী জায়া কন্যা—মাতৃশক্তির এই তিন রূপের আলোক-বিচ্ছুরণে আজও সমালোকিত সৃষ্টি চরাচর। প্রাচীনের মেধা, বুদ্ধি, বিচার ও সিদ্ধান্তে দৃষ্টিপাত করে মূলত মহাভারতের আঙিনায় চেনা-অচেনা, স্বল্প চেনা নারীদের কাছ থেকে পাওয়া মানবনির্মাণের অমূল্য উপাদানের সার্থক ও শাস্ত্রসম্মত পর্যবেক্ষণ এই গ্রন্থের পাতায় পাতায়।

The Mahabharata is often remembered through its great kings, warriors, and epic battles. Yet behind its defining moments stand remarkable women whose wisdom, courage, sacrifice, and choices shaped the course of history.

In ‘Mahabharater Nepothyobashini’, renowned professor and scholar Lokenath Chakraborty turns the spotlight on these often-overlooked female figures of the Mahabharata. Through a careful, Shastra-based study of the epic, he explores the lives of well-known and lesser-known women—revealing their profound influence on the moral, social, and philosophical foundations of the narrative.

Blending Indian philosophy, scriptural interpretation, mythology, and cultural history, the book examines the many dimensions of feminine power—as mother, wife, daughter, guide, and catalyst for change. Rather than treating these women as supporting characters, it presents them as architects of human values, resilience, and civilisational thought.

Insightful, scholarly, and highly readable, ‘Mahabharater Nepothyobashini’ is an essential work for readers interested in Mahabharata studies, Hindu mythology, women in Indian epics, Indic philosophy, and Indian cultural history.
