Abstract:This study examines
how Amish Tripathi's novel Sita: Warrior of Mithila turns the ancient
mythical figure of Sita into a contemporary heroine. Through a thorough reading
of Tripathi's story, the paper looks at how the writer revitalizes and
reinterprets Sita, showing her as a fearless fighter and dynamic leader.
Through placing Sita in the context of modern issues of women empowerment and
leadership, Tripathi's work subverts stereotypes and provides a complex
analysis of her place in the epic narrative. This research demonstrates how Sita:
Warrior of Mithila bridges the gap between traditional mythology and
contemporary ideals, thereby reflecting the changing ideas of what it means to
be a woman and a hero in Indian literature.
Keywords: Amish Tripathi,
Mythical, Modern, Stereotypes.
