Mahabharata

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

In a recent post in 's mahabharata_study Group, Dr. Pradip Bhattacharya

- its chief contributor and a research scholar in mahabharata studies has

observed:

 

"The internal and external evidence, therefore, indicate that the incident

of stripping that has so powerfully ruled the popular imagination and

featured on stage, paintings, films and television, was not part of the

original text but was added by one or more highly competent redactors."

 

The complete article may be perused at

Dr. Bhattacharya is presently the Additional Chief Secretary to the Govt. of

West Bengal.
