If the royal families and the leaders of the society during those times had questionable value system, ordinary citizens, who need to look up to them as idols, would have been suffering from much worse cultural life quality. Sometimes, we wonder about the societal values and the social infrastructure during your time, with the assumption that your writing reflects the society. You also justify many wrong things through your characters. One of our serious concerns is to do with women in your epic. Starting from Mother Ganga, you have misrepresented women and their attitude to marriage, motherhood and basic humanness of women.
Mother is the most sensitive person for any child compared to all others, including the father.
As we all know mother will give up anything for the good of the child. Mothers are never selfish and temperamental especially when it comes to her children. Our culture regards Mother Ganga with the highest regard. Let us talk about your mother, Matsyagandha. You have narrated similar questionable practices throughout Mahabharat in case of Kunthi, Draupadi and Gandhari.
