TITLE:  THE CURSE OF GANDHARI

AUTHOR:  ADITI BANERJEE  

QOTD:  have you ever noticed how the world is cruel to the people who do the right things ???

Gandhari has one day left to live.  As she stares death in the face, her memories travel back to the beginning of her story, to life ‘s unfairness at every point, from marrying to the blindfolded men to the death of her one hundred sons.

Had she been stronger, she would have refused .and maybe a series of refusals would have been enough to change the tide, to pull back from the lure of war, the trap of inevitable destruction, the path that led them further and further away from Dharma. Love made her weak.

This is the story of a woman who was pious enough to strengthen the body of her son by just looking towards him, her willpower was so strong that she denied seeing the world that her husband could not see. But what went wrong that she had to face the destruction of her own clan.

“You would never get the right answer for the wrong question. “

This is just not the story of Gandhari. This is the story of women who were wronged. This is the story of Karma. Even the fruit of penance goes wrong when you choose the wrong things in your life.

The character of Gandhari is explained in a detailed manner. Her sanctity, willpower,  her vanity towards Draupadi and Kunti as she could not be strong enough to maintain the dignity of the Queen and shrink just to the duties of a mother to feed her children without involving in their moral and character development. She let her brother involve with her sons even when she was aware of his wicked intentions.

Language is easy and narration is smooth.

The cover is attractive.
