India, being a patriarchal society, hasn‟t been able to give its women a substantial amount of respect that they deserve. Cases of gender discrimination are heard on a daily basis. Partially the root of these problems lies in our tradition and values that have been shaped by our religion and mythologies which forms the base of our perception, attitudes and beliefs. These mythologies always concentrate on the male protagonist and his exploits. The women play the role of being the root cause of the problem in these epics or are portrayed as victims or as passive observers. This in turn affects the mentality of our society as these values get embedded within us and shapes our thinking, perspectives and personality and becomes a social trend. To change this outlook of our society, some of the Indian writers have started a new trend. They are recreating these mythologies from the viewpoint of the female characters which help us to understand these epics from a completely new perspective. The way we look at a story changes when the perception of the narrator changes. So, the way the story and actions are perceived and interpreted by a male character will certainly vary from that of a female character. Retelling of the epics can play an important role in supporting the agenda of women power. Reinterpreting the different layers of the mythology can show the dynamic role of the Indian woman, in the past as well as in contemporary society. It helps to analyse how different a woman‟s perspective is from a man‟s perspective. These retellings don't revolve around the males of the mythology as narrated earlier, rather it focuses on the motion of the female characters and their points of view and their contributions that led to the progress in the narrative. Re-visioning myth is a method of emancipation by which tradition gets re-invented and man-made laws are subverted. Revisionist Mythology includes literature revolving around the myths, fairy tales or other genres related to it. It involves reinterpreting the old tales to create new texts by retelling them from the female character‟s perspective or recreating the story to change the image of the women characters from a passive object to an active participant in the events of the story.
