We Were Taught Mythology Wrong | Draupadi, Tara & Forgotten Women | Koral Dasgupta

What if everything we were taught about Draupadi, virginity, purity and women in mythology was misunderstood? In this powerful episode of Not Your Aunty, author Koral Dasgupta breaks down ancient Indian mythology through a lens rarely discussed —women’s agency, erased voices, and philosophical truth beyond patriarchy. From Draupadi and Mandodari to Tara and Sita, this conversation challenges the idea that mythology judged women by their bodies. Instead, it reveals how intent, ethics, and consciousness were the real measures — long before modern feminism. ✨ Topics covered: Why virginity was never about the body How Draupadi was misunderstood for centuries Feminist vs patriarchal readings of Ramayana Women as advisors, thinkers & moral anchors Mythology as philosophy — not religion Why history vs mythology debates miss the point This episode is bold, honest, and deeply uncomfortable — exactly the conversations women were never encouraged to have. 🎧 Watch till the end — this will change how you see mythology forever About Us: 🌟 Not Your Aunty Podcast 🎙️ | Parenting 👪 Relationships 💑 Body Positivity 💛 Get ready to laugh out loud with the hilarious "Not Your Aunty" podcast!
