Second, memory and rupture. The Mahabharata preserves trauma across generations — the battlefield’s smell, the exile’s scarcity, the slow unraveling of kinship. Digital networks commodify memory while rendering it simultaneously ephemeral and immortal: cached screenshots, viral threads, buried archives resurfacing years later. A “Lodynet” turns collective trauma into searchable data, a timeline people scroll through. Does that flatten responsibility — turning grief into content — or does it create new avenues for accountability and communal mourning? Think of Draupadi’s humiliation in the court: in a lodynet, that scene reverberates in doxxing, online shaming, and calls for restitution.
