Not sure if I can call her a historical figure. But if there is someone I admire thoroughly and is in awe with lately, then it is Draupadi from the Mahabharata.
With every adjective she is associated, the one that resonates more is her Grit! The courage and the strength of her character is truly awe-striking.
With all the odds that came her way, she stood her grounds tight. Be it vengeance or love, she gave it her all. She empathized with the deprived and condemned the impudent. Her journey wasn’t easy at all. But she lived it with Grace. Utmost dignity and a true queen like.
What fascinates most is her resilience and determination for her rights. Not succumbing to despair or victimhood but instead found strength within herself to face adversities. And this, sometimes, keeps me going when things get rocky to even move.
Love!
