Yajnaseni: The Story of Draupadi by Pratibha Ray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the First Book am reading on Mahabharata( including Mahabharata )Pratiba Ray has done a nice job in trying to portrait the Psychological picture of Draupadi .This book made me think a lot. made me compare the time when the Mahabharata Happened to the present time.Not many things make sense.the biggest problem i faced was Comprehending the Dharma which used to prevail during the time of Mahabharata.But am at least glad that everyone including Krishna is shown as a human/god with their own weaknesses,Instead of Painting them as god or men without any negative shades. I should have read the Mahabharata before reading this.I say this because not many things were as elaborate as they should be (for example the time before and after the Kurukshetra is shown but not the war!),it is understandable as this book shows the Mahabharata in the point of view of Draupadi as it folds out with lots of emotional outbursts which makes you feel for her.I am eager to read the Mahabharata next and then the other books based on it.
