Description

This volume is a collection of essays that attempts to exemplify the protean nature of Vyasa ‘s Mahabharata. Vyasa, apart from his being both a character and a virtual narrator who manages his narrations through several voices, had seemingly many strongly- felt moral concerns close to his heart. The essays presented here explore many a vexing question, the ethical and the epistemic concerns, issues of gender, ‘caste’ and metaphysical’ evil’ that the epic raises.
