Sita's Sister
Author: Kavita Kane
language: en
Publisher: Rupa Publications India
Release Date: 2014-12-01
From the bestselling author of Karna's Wife, comes this book about Urmila, Sita's sister and the neglected wife of Lakshman, and one of the most overlooked characters in the Ramayana. As Sita prepares to go into exile, her younger sisters stay back at the doomed palace of Ayodhya, their smiles, hope and joy wiped away in a single stroke. And through the tears and the tragedy one woman of immense strength and conviction stands apart-Urmila, whose husband, Lakshman, has chosen to accompany his brother Ram to the forest rather than stay with his bride. She could have insisted on joining Lakshman, as did Sita with Ram. But she did not. Why did she agree to be left behind in the palace, waiting for her husband for fourteen painfully long years?
Shrutakirti
Shrutakirti was the daughter of king Kushadhwaj, king Janak's younger brother and queen Chandrabhaga. All the sisters Sita, Mandavi, Urmila and Shrutakirti grew up together like the most revered princesses of Mithila. Shrutakirti though youngest was most ardent learner of mythological discourse and was the best sword fighter. She protested to get married for being too young but on Sita's assurance and her liking for Shatrughan eventually married.When Ram, Sita and Laxman were away in forest, Bharat and Mandavi in Nandigram as hermits, Urmila in deep sleep, it was Shrutakirti who managed the affairs of kingdom along with her husband. She created a peaceful atmosphere at the palace for three queen mothers. A lot has been written about the sacrifices of Sita, Laxman, Bharat, Mandavi and Urmila but a very little about Shrutakirti that were no less. She protested against Ram for asking Sita's fire test and she passed through the phase of anguish and hate against Ram when her eldest sister Sita was consumed by mother earth. Much more than what's available in Valmiki and Tulsi Ramayan. The best would be to read and explore Shrutakirti (Sita's Sister).
