Hidden Gems of the Kathasagara*- A Study of Sidelined Women Characters in  the Indian Epics and Puranas

Author(s)	Lakshmi G. Menon
Country	India
Abstract	The epics, puranas and mythological tales of India are rich in women characters that can stand in par with the female protagonists of these stories. The only drawback of these characters is that they are less understood and less studied by the reading public. They are cast aside as minor or unimportant characters whereas they prove themselves as possessing qualities of boldness, self-confidence, sacrifice and intelligence often left unobserved or unacknowledged. This study offers a handful of such characters that we can really be proud of-the real gems among women.
Keywords	Keywords- epics, puranas, unacknowledged, sidelined *Kathasagara- Sanskrit word for the Sea of Stories.
Field	Arts
