This paper critically examines Amish Tripathi's Sita: Warrior of Mithila (2017), analyzing the novel's portrayal of Sita as a significant departure from traditional depictions of the Hindu mythological figure. By exploring Tripathi's distinctive writing style, which blends accessible narrative with profound philosophical inquiry, this research demonstrates how Sita is reimagined as an empowered, intellectual, and physically formidable leader. The paper will delve into the various facets of Sita's personality – her unconventional upbringing, her comprehensive education, her aggressive disposition, her political acumen, and her progressive views on societal structures, gender, and justice – arguing that Tripathi crafts a feminist icon for the modern age. Furthermore, it will highlight how the narrative subverts conventional power dynamics, with even male protagonists like Ram and Lakshman acknowledging Sita's inherent strength and leadership, ultimately presenting a nuanced vision of freedom tempered with moderation.
