Written in the shadow of the Padmavati debate.
A remarkable conversation that actually happened-
'Draupadi loved Karna.’
‘Didnt he call a ‘whore’ though?’
‘We choose what we want to believe in’
‘Hmmm. I do love a good angst fest’
‘- And there are so many versions.’
'Its almost as if people change it to suit their needs.'
A pause followed.
‘I think Karna loved Draupadi though.’
‘Called her a whore to mask his feelings?’
‘Yes, good old pigtail-pulling-‘
‘- And unhealthy coping.’
'Makes for good reading though'
'It does, doesn't it?'
'Truly the story of grand India.'
'Rape, assault, manipulation included.'
-or did it?
