excerpt from an audio-translation I worked on with a colleague of mine; we translated Draupadī's imposing speech as rendered in modern Mahābhārat retellings. Draupadī utters this speech after she is dragged to the royal hall by her hair, and is assaulted & sexually harassed by the men of the Kuru dynasty. she renounces her status as a wife; in the Sanskrit Mbh, symbolically, by refusing to tie her hair again, while in modern renderings, explicitly, by directly renouncing her husbands who passively watched her humiliation.
in this sequence, Draupadī curses the Kurus. the curse bears similarities across the Sanskrit & modern tellings; that just as she bled in the sabhā (royal court / hall), so will all the men bleed on the battlefield, and just as she wept with her hair untied, so will their women cry before their corpses with their hair dishevelled (tied hair was the marking of a wife / bride, untied hair, of a widow).

a joy to present my PhD work at the School of Divinity [Edinburgh] yesterday on my first research panel 😊 i talked about the gendered politics inscribed in the body of Draupadī, the Mahābhārata's heroine. i argued that it is significant that a text such as the Mahābhārata, which holds so much religious, cultural and spiritual weight, includes the story of a sexually assaulted woman, and, moreover, one of divine origin, because it offers women subjected to gendered violence the opportunity to unearth psychological comfort in Draupadī's story, and the opportunity to shed shame and fears of impurity rooted in varied internalisations of social or religious messages. through the prism of shared experience, the trauma is voiced and processed, which percolates in the social stratum, where, by claiming and reimagining Draupadī's symbol, women ask for and enact socio-political change. i am exploring this movement in my thesis. ❤️‍🔥
astounding to listen to & learn from the presentations of the colleagues who shared the panel with me, and to engage with the work differently during the q&a portion; openings to approach the work differently, freshly, in ways i wouldn't be prone to without external stimulus.
thank you @ishitahp for the photos & video! 🫶

Sundaralekhan ; Hindu Myth Event
Day - 9 : Mahabharat
♛┈⛧┈┈•༶༶•┈┈⛧┈♛
Draupadi, a woman who lost her everything. Just because she got married in a family tied in a relationship of pure hatred and rivalry. A woman whose self respect was destroyed in a court filled with men who didn't utter a word for her defense. She was Yajnaseni, born from fire. But she burnt the most in the entire epic of Mahabharat.

(I really see Pooja's face when I imagine how Draupadi looked irl, so I had this urge to use her picture)

Draupadī’s Speech, Vastrāharaṇa: A Collaborative and Experimental Audio-translation
Fragment of a collaborative and experimental audio-translation of Draupadī’s speech following Vastrāharaṇa (The Attempted Disrobing of the Empress), as presented in the 2013 rendition of the Mahābhārat. Created in the module ‘The Practice of Literary Translation’ of the Warwick Writing Programme with Sumithreyi Sivapalan.
Draupadī:
Touch me not, Queen Mother Kuntī.
I will get besmirched.
I am no longer your daughter-in-law.
I am no longer your sons’ wife.
I am no longer the bride of the Kuru dynasty.
Now I am without husband, without name, without dynasty.
I am the fire that burns in the furnace. I am purity itself,
yet I feed on what is impure.
Today, in this sabhā, I have cried the tears of the women who walked this Earth.
Queen Mother Kuntī, Great Queen Gandharī, if you wish to save yourselves, renounce this sabhā and leave. Because this palace hall will break today.
I am no longer a human being. I am death itself, only death. I am the death of all the vile men present in this unjust sabhā today.
My curse is that, at this very moment…
Gandharī:
No, Draupadī. Do not curse. Do not curse! Forgive them. Forgive us. I beg you, forgive us!
Draupadī:
My curse is forgiveness in itself, Great Queen. If I have to punish, let it be in this lifetime. Every moment, they will suffer the agony of hell. Their pain will know no end.
Gandharī:
No, my daughter. The woman who gives life cannot give death.
In taking one’s own life, one annihilates their body. In taking another’s life, one destroys the soul.
When a person destroys their soul, that is called self-annihilation.
In your anger, do not act like these men!
Draupadī:
It is a woman’s duty to keep the house clean and it is a woman who purifies the house. It is a woman’s duty, as well, to keep this world clean, and only a woman can purify the Earth. I curse (that)…
image: still and edit I created of Pooja Sharma as Draupadī. the most fantastic performance of the fireborn heroine!

‘Guns and Gulaabs’: nostalgia and opium meet to create a heady show
I wonder what nostalgia will mean for Generation Alpha. Will it be a fond chuckle of how their favorite movie or TV show buffered while streaming a critical scene? Or how some rando photobombed their lit party pics? Are these even things that they’ll do or care about? Or will nostalgia be another folder in the cloud, accessible via a monthly plan, no longer a sepia-tinged sigh of wistfulness? How…
