An eternal Star in the history of secular Sanskrit literature is the great poet Kalidasa. His dramatic Style is extraordinary. The kind of female characters he has introduced in his plays is truly incomparable, even though they were written many years ago; we have found Similarities between the female Characters of today in many cases. We can find both the character of helpless women and intelligent women in his Plays. But in the ‘Abhijnanashakuntalam’, we found another form of a female character, who did not protest anything. The Character of women that Kalidasa has presented as a daughter, a lover, a mother and a friend is truly incredible. The evidence that some women were independent-minded even in that era is recorded in Kalidasa’s writings. Therefore, it must be admitted that Kalidasa is an expert in drawing Successful female characters.
