Vimuktha Kadha Samputi by Volga
4.0
A short collection of stories with Sita interacting with Shurpanakha, Ahalya, and Renuka, women who were wronged in some sense in Hindu Mythology for so-called crimes against the idea of chastity. I found Ahalya's questioning of her sentence particularly interesting -
"What does conducting an inquiry imply, Sita? Distrust, isn’t it? Wouldn’t it be better, instead, to believe in either your innocence or guilt?"
Even Renuka's judgement of the so-called duty that binds sons to fathers - despite the woman having to bear so much of the burden raising them raises very valid questions. Over all, a very interesting take on the epic.
