Swara Bhaskar who is known for expressing her views openly found herself being trolled yet again for comparing the humiliation of Muslim women over Hijab to the disrobing of Draupadi in Mahabharat.

Swara Bhaskar took to Twitter to express her outrage at reports of Muslim women being humiliated in various regions of the country. She compared it to Draupadi’s disrobing in the royal court of the Kauravas in the Mahabharat. As we all know, Dhritrashtra, Vidura, and Bheeshma were present at that gathering, yet no one said anything when Dushshashana began stripping Draupadi’s saree. Lord Krishna was the one who spared her from the abuse.

महाभारत में द्रौपदी के जबरन कपड़े उतारे गए थे.. और सभा में बैठे ज़िम्मेदार, शक्तिशाली, क़ानून बनाने वाले देखते रहे.. ऐसे ही आज याद आया।

Swara Bhaskar was targeted by trolls on the same. Draupadi was one of the five Panchkanyaas, they told her. In Indian mythology, there are five chaste ladies. Others commented on her videos while wearing short dresses, implying that a woman dressed like this should not remark on such topics.

@ReallySwara how illiterate are you that to get media attention and money from your masters you comparing things which happened centuries ago, but when this same community wch has a history or I’ll say rituals of women exploitation, you have no guts to even utter a word?#coward https://t.co/dyrXGVtbyE
