EP 255 :From Feminism To Mythology For Kids: Exclusive With Devdutt Pattanaik
Manage episode 419022718 series 1293454
When we revisit Indian mythology, there is a general perspective and notion that the strong mighty women are far and few and the "abla naari" were more common. Is that really true? Not really, says award-winning author Devdutt Pattanaik in this exclusive interview with Kidsstoppress.
It's all in the storyteller's perspective he says and that got me thinking. As we discuss his new book "Sati Savithri" we get a new perspective on feminism, women empowerment and a misconceived notion of patriarchy that existed back then.
Devdutt also talks to us about writing for kids, the challenges and why it is important to get them to think with open-ended questions when storytelling. His new book ABC of Hinduism For Kids is a must-add to your child's bookshelf. Listen to the full interview and do let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
