The purpose of visit of Subhadra to Hastinapur wasn't only attend the feast arranged for arrival of Kuru princes but also to promote art through various programs. Dushala wished to arrange an event like was arranged for her brothers since she too had returned from kanyakul.

She had specially wished to invite Subhadra in the program as She had excelled in all kinds of art in kanyakul.

The day of event arrived, and everything was arranged so well. Set up for the event was all splendid. Painting, playing various instruments, portrayal of various handmade jewelleries, designs on cloth pieces were the general subjects of the event.

Subhadra along with Dushala directed the artists to perform.

When Subhadra was about to show her archery skill Duryodhan objected over that.

"Art should be limited to painting, stitching, cooking and designing for girls. Weapon practice won't suit them who have nowhere to go outside, nothing to do outside," Duryodhan's voice was as venomous as his thoughts.

"I won't argue over this personal thought of yours. My family, especially my brothers and even well trained warriors of Dwarka believe in equality and harmony," Subhadra countered him, calmly.

"Women have so too limited scope and space to prove themselves. So, what's the need to learn those skills which hardly have any utilisation for them?" A mocking laugh justified the mentality Duryodhan had been carrying.

"Women of this kingdom don't need to raise weapons for any purpose since men are there to take care of their needs," Dushashan, younger brother of Duryodhan flashed a lustful smirk at Subhadra, challenging her calmness.

Pandav brothers were also present to witness the event. They exchanged tensed glances, because Subhadra was the pride of her clan which truly followed her thoughts just like a righteous path under right guidance. They wouldn't tolerate either insult of her thoughts or insult of herself.

"Dushashan, watch your words. Princess is conversing respectfully which you don't deserve. So, keep your disrespectful thoughts to yourself before you invoke anger for yourself," Arjun came forward to stand in between Subhadra and her opponents since it was high time to take a stand, especially to counter the disgusting gesture of Dushashan.

"Again, I won't argue with anyone. I won't demonstrate archery skills if you wish so, but I will definitely like to show something," Subhadra had planned her next move.

She raised her bow, and shot an arrow into the sky. Thunderstorm roared loudly, making everyone shiver. In blink of eyes, the thunderstorm fall on ground, and fire ignited due to that intensity.

Before anyone could get panicked more, she made the fire vanish. Everyone was too shocked to see the bold side of the innocent princess while Arjun's stunned eyes were trying to comprehend the hidden message of her sudden move.

"Audacity! Audacity of attacking people of Hastinapur, especially me!" It was Duryodhan's turn to roar.

"Calm down, bhrata Duryodhan! Don't drag the matter more. Princess just have proved you wrong regarding scopes and space women have possibly," Arjun again stood for Subhadra with a heart filled with serene joy.

"The thunderstorm may seem so small in the vast sky, but when it appears it shines, making the sky shiver. Even, when it falls down it has its own affect. Like that women have enough scope and space for themselves amidst all the struggles they have to face," Subhadra was so amazed when Arjun explained her exact point of view.

"Princess has earned the chance of demonstrating her skill. You better don't interfere anymore," at next, Arjun silenced Duryodhan who left the place, immediately.

Subhadra initiated the session of demonstrating her skill, making Arjun stunned once more.
