Reconstructing The Image of Sita: An Eco-Feminist Approach to Samhita Arni’s Sita’s Ramayana

The perspectives of women has either been ignored or relegated as unimportant in the historical and literary texts in India. The reason may be located in the androcentric social structure. The present paper attempts to remake the account of the Ramayana totally from Sita’s viewpoint through revisionist eco-feminist hypothesis featuring the occasions and scenes, which stayed concealed before, and henceforth remaking history with reference to Sita’s Ramayana by Samhita Arni. This paper aims at exploring Sita’s experimentiality in the hostile world of patriarchal power structure and her embodiment of eco-feminist concerns. The paper employs Aartee Kaul Dhar’s idea of woman as Nature and Shakti and Vandana Shiva’s idea of woman as Prakriti.
