Four women who manipulated men with their sexuality

Satyavati

Mahabharat is a mythical story of our ancient history and fascination towards it never dies even the time pass by centuries. The question is why some characters in this literature  never dies ? This is the story of all generation that suit men and women of yesterday, today and tomorrow. But, here I would like to focus only on four women who are lead character of this mega story. We all know this, women are weakness of men and women are the strength of men. There are four types of women who pose challenge to feminist for her work  

Talk about gutless men in Mahabharat, men of this era jump to argue with you; as if, you just insulted the great grandparents, who were in the board member of creative team of this mythical story which  base is politics. I have completely failed to understand why men like this story ? What fascinates them ? Why some men react in defensive manner about coward bunch of men in story and find reasons to argue with you, rather that admitting, yeah men in that era did not know how to respect women. But, lets be honest and  realistic that will never happen, why ?

The Sex bomb : Ganga purely loved having sex, craved it, enjoyed it but; she did not like the result of it. She was successful manipulating her man to let the newborn child go every time she gave birth. I bet it was abortion whatever said in Mahabharat. But when this continued for seventh child  then the king realised, he wanted to have more than sex.  He needed her to make him father, the joy of being a father of child. Ganga did not like that idea, as agreed earlier, so she left him with his child. Here when we sit down to argue on the subject, it's her body let her decide if she would like to be mother or not it's her right to choose, what she want. See who oppose it and what she had to go through. may be her body her right is not the good idea all the time.

Ganga is portrayed as Goddess river in Mahabharat. Why she did used to let go every newborn child in sea is described in very idiotic way. It was because of a curse from her father Brahma - in her prior life -  for liking the attention from a man in her revealing sexy dress which was blown out by a cool breeze of air. The man who kept staring her bare breast without ‘shame’ and Ganga who enjoyed the attention she was getting from that person; must go through this phase in this life. Nothing can be insane and idiotic than this kind of answer to her abortion without asking her man. No sane person should believe this kind of insane answer.

The manipulator : Satyavati used beauty and sexuality as power to get what she wanted and when she wanted. Its same like men who misuse the power in politics there are always women waiting around the corner to take him in her arms, knowing he is the right person for this. By default, some women just like men who misuse their position in politics. Some women like to use it, all but for wrong reasons. Satyabati was one such character in Mahabharat. She was a beautiful daughter of a poor fisherman.  A king fell in love with her. She is beautiful, she knew it, when she is beautiful this means power in hand. How people use it depends on person to person. So when king wanted to marry her, she made her father speak what is in her head, only if; her son will get a chance to rule the kingdom. The short message was, she will not enter palace as mistress even if she was poor, but will rule the kingdom, because the king was in love in head over heels and she knew it and he could not say no to her demand.

In fact, Satyabati was a pure manipulator, who knew how to manipulate men using her beauty and sexuality and she did this purely for her own personal benefits. Whatever written in Mahabharat, she knew how to make men dance in her fingertips;  the poor father and her husband both  were the victim of her manipulating habit. This is how some women play politics. When women play politics like this, this pose threat to the stability in society; as well as feminist activist across the world. Because, men will come up with pungent questions that will silence the strong women.

Extra Marital Affairs : There is no doubt, Kunti  was the queen of extra marital affairs. Although, she is the wife of Pandu but nobody knows, the fathers name of her five sons. It is not hidden fact, Pandu is definitely not the father of her five sons. Again, Mahabharata tries to give you very idiotic answer of who is the father of her sons and how they were borned ? On top of it, there is Karna her first child, she had when she was only a teenager and she was not comfortable to talk about her first child to Pandu or to her five sons until before the war. 

What is interesting is, she is the mother of five powerful men of this mythology. She had not been shamed for this act of her nor she seem to feel ashamed of it.  It seems she indeed used it in her favor. In that case, why an illogical answer is given to name the father[s] of five ? Always insane, illogical and a face saving answer which is far far away from reality. And still there are people who believe this without asking a single question. What a blind faith in god ? and that scares me a lot Do we worship this kind of God ? God save me from nonsense.

Beauty with Foot in her mouth : Draupadi was young, indeed she was much younger than some of her husbands, about 25 -30. Sure, she was naive at times but more than that she had foot in her mouth  when egoistic men like Duryodhana was around her. I know, it's unnerving when a man  lusts us and treat us like nothing more than an ice cream pick and lick but there are a lot better ways to avoid men like him, so why tangle with them ? but this is not easy to tell every young girls  and like millions in their teen, she too did not know how to handle that lustful eyes with no respect for her. But how come Draupadi could  handle five gutless husband at a time is Draupadi and not one insecure Duryodhan ? How come Duryodhan insulted her and her husbands who lost her in a game of gamble did not insulted her being as their wife ?

To add my curiosity, instead of taking that episode as an eye opener, she ends of cursing Duryodhan - a sure sign of another war - rather than leaving her husband for better, who lost her and who did not have a word to say to save her lost dignity in the royal court ! had not she had foot in her mouth a sign of arrogance believe, she is the wife of five powerful men of the era so she can say anything to anyone and anywhere can be seen in this naivete.

This book tries to tell us in failed attempt,  she was respected by all in that era but she was not because she was gambled and lost without her knowledge and consent. How much insanity Mahabharat tires to infuse in our head is hard to believe but the truth is each five men had separate wives and then they had Draupadi a common wife to all five men. Kunti is blamed to be the main  behind this and Arjun could not utter a word to disagree with his mother to say that what she is telling them to share was not a toy or trophy but a human being. That is another failed attempt to answer irrational behavior from Mahabharat. There is no doubt that society was sexist like today and it did not respected women an inch.  Draupadi’s insult in royal court can be seen in this video.

What really makes me think is still Draupadi choose to stay with her five husband who are worshiped as god in our religion and she did not leave those men who were suppose to give her due respect. If you think this is love and devotion to her five husbands, then I have to tell you this, we are all taught very wrong way what is love and what is respect.

Sometimes I feel like burning this book, but when the perception is build inside the head, what's the use of burning things that is outside ? It sure created curiosity when Russians once burned Gita for corrupting the mind of young generations. Of course, that event angered the parliamentarians in India, and they created a brouhaha over this topic. That shocked me completely, because they have always given blind eyes and ears to rape, female foeticide and sexual harassment and loads of other women's issue including equal rights.

Draupadi

In every society there will be sex bomb like Ganga, manipulating women like Satyavati, women with extra marital affairs like Kunti, and beautiful girl with foot in the mouth like Draupadi. Just like that, there will be men who will run after Ganga and Satyavati and then blames women for ‘using them’ to get what they want . Sure, there will always be men like Pandu, who won't admit the physical flaws, yet would like to be father and then there will be  strong men who can face all the problem in the world, but only can nod their head in front of their mother - I call this politics women like to play as mother; oops, women. These are the men of all era and every society. These are the characters, specially designed in Mahabharat to silence feminist across the world, of all era not just that era, but it looks like; that was not the world where women were respected. No wonder, we have to keep fighting for this.
