| Abstract | Male marginalization refers to the weaker and more miserable position of men in the role of performing day-to-day affairs in the domestic as well as public atmospheres. The process of marginalization has been ingrained throughout history, even dating back to ancient civilizations. While we may not have the opportunity to visit physically, these ancient socio-cultural structures, literature serves as a valuable tool for understanding and analyzing the societal conditions of that time. The Mahabharata stands as one such literary work that offers insights into ancient society and its social dynamics. In this regard, this paper aims to examine the marginalized status of men in the Mahabharata. To accomplish this objective, the historical content analysis method has been employed to gather and interpret relevant data. The patriarchal theory interprets that woman are always submissive to male and no respectable position has been formed for women and it has been regarded that males are always powerful, strong, dominating and having better opportunity. However, the analysis of the data has displayed that patriarchal theory has failed in depicting the superior position of the men characters since they have been found to be marginalized and having no opportunity by the males themselves within the system of patriarchy in the Mahabharata. Hence, the patriarchal theory has not found to be analogue in the data of this research of patriarchal social structure of the Mahabharata era. |
