Description

Explore the depths of one of the world's greatest literary classics with The Mahabharata Patriline by Routledge. This scholarly work addresses the Sanskrit Mahabharata, which includes the Bhagavad Gita, a text often overlooked despite its immense importance to global literature and its relevance in our modern, globalized world. Brodbeck provides a detailed chronological survey of the central royal patriline, tracing the family tree and the lineage of kings. The book examines how royal culture maintains its hereditary lines and the implications of patrilineal memory. It specifically looks at the tension between maintaining a male lineage and the necessary role of wives in every generation. This study offers a deep look into the social structures and gender dynamics presented within the text, making it a significant resource for students and readers interested in anthropology and sociology.
