Autumnal Equinox
The Indian Standard presents Volume 4 Issue 2 with Autumnal Equinox: a publication surrounding the concept of Devotion. Through the women of the Mahabharata, we are able to learn valuable lessons surrounding good & evil, the power of devotion, and how the debate on men versus women started before this yugam.
Our history is a tapestry woven together in a pattern upheld by the human experiences that shape the way we see the world today. Each of us is a thread in that tapestry, an infinitely small, yet equally important part of an ever expanding whole. Understanding our history involves more than just an intellectual study, but an empathetic one - a curious, cultural look into the past. To understand our history is to understand the past, present & future. However, times shift, as we grow further away in years from those historic moments, do we render them irrelevant to the normal course of our lives?
Womanhood has changed significantly through the ages, yet even in this era, we still find the same fundamental elements and threads that encompass that identity. This issue will draw upon the stories of women today and the women of the Mahabharata. This issue features Dur E Aziz Amna, Shivani Rana, Rhea Khattoi and many more.
