How she always had her brother Dhirstdhyumna and her friend Krishna to tame this rebellious nature of hers and how each time she refuses to take her lessons except when life actually throws her into such situations. She refuses to stick to learn only the womanly lessons a princess was bound to learn in that era and shows deep interest in learning how instead a kingdom is to be run. The book covers her life incidents from her birth till the end of the Mahabharata and a little further.ĭraupadi, even in the Third Age of Man, centuries back, has been depicted as a rebel, always skeptical and vocal and highly impatient, right from her childhood, beginning with her brother having got a meaningful name and she been merely named after her father, Drupad. This book is a re-telling of the epic Mahabharata with its main beauty lying in the fact that it is from the point of view of the one female, who has for centuries been considered to be the epi-centre of this great war – Draupadi (Paanchali). Life is tougher than a banyan root, which exists without water and soil.”
