Introduction One of the greatest poets and dramatists in Sanskrit . His chronicle of the kings of the Raghu clan (‘Raghuvamsha’), the great play ‘ Shakuntala’ and other works depict, through many great characters, the highest ideals of life as seen by the ancient people of Bharat. A poet who has made a distinct and glorious contribution to the sumptuous Sanskrit literature is Kalidas. He has pictured in his works the beauty in life and pondered upon how we can give pleasure to others by generous and graceful behavior. His portrayals are vivid and heartwarming; his word power is unique. In a few words, he is capable of bringing out the entire meaning intended.

Little detail is known of  Vidyapati’s  early life, though his  status as a Brahman  undoubtedly meant  rigorous training in Sanskrit and other such marks of scholarship .  Likely through his father’s efforts, he received a commission from the  king during the reign of Kirti Simha (ruled  c.  1370–80).  The result of this commission was the long poem  Kirtilata  (“Vine of Glory”).   Vidyapati became a  court scholar  under Kirti Simha’s son,  Deva Simha,  for whom he composed  Bhuparikrama   (“Around the World”),  a group of  romantic  stories  that also contained advice to the king. The poetry for which  Vidyapati  is best remembered, however, is a collection of  love poetry  written between  1380 and 1406 . This collection expands on what had become  the cult of  Radha  and  Krishna ,  subject als...

We make a lot of laws to save themselves but fail to maintain.   Because this is a male-oriented society . Just take an example from ancient times. We are only talking about male power but never talking about abandoned beauty. They sacrificed their life to perform her duties for husbands. SO I   decided to about Sita, Draupadi   and Urmila as well status of today’s   Indian wives. Sita As we know whole The story of Ramayana is filled with the story of the courage of Lord Rama.   Ram left his palace to regard his father’s word of mouth that he had given to his wife Kaikeyi.   So he decided to the exile of fourteen years.
