A Woman's Epic: Reclaiming Sita's Voice
The Ramayana has been told for centuries, but always through Ram's eyes. What happens when we shift our gaze to Sita? In Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's "The Forest of Enchantments," we discover a revolutionary perspective that transforms our understanding of this ancient tale. Sita emerges not as a passive ideal of wifely devotion, but as a woman of extraordinary strength, wisdom, and complexity. Found as an infant in a plowed field by King Janak, she grows up with mysterious powers-healing plants with her touch, understanding their medicinal properties, and possessing unusual physical strength. When she meets Prince Ram, their connection transcends the physical world, yet even in their first moments together, premonitions warn of the suffering their union will bring. This retelling doesn't just give Sita a voice-it reveals how a woman navigates a world where even divine love can't protect her from the harsh judgment of society.
