Mahabharat of B. R. Chopra: Discussions/ DT note pg 119 - Page 38

Reading all the discussions.

I know that in the Mahabharata, there is some mention of Karna being Drona's student. However, that is one line in a thousand verses. Logically, it does not make sense to me.

If Karna was friends with Duryodhana from childhood itself, why would they form a friendship in the Rangbhoomi? Duryodhana didn't know his name too.

Also, if Drona accepted students from all of society and was not restricted to Kshatriyas, then why did he also take Ekalavya's thumb?

My personal opinion is that Dronacharya specifically had a motive to avenge his insult by Drupada and hence chose the princes of a powerful kingdom like Hastinapur so that the odds of him getting his revenge would be good. He was not interested or inclined to take any more students.

I thought so too. So won't jump on you 😆

He also addressed Yudhisthir as Bhratashree and talked to him somewhat respectfully.

He has yet to go completely evil.

One can't just dislike him as yet. He is like an innocent kid who is deprived of his favorite ice-cream and now wants the entire stall for himself😆

Guys, Rukmini-haran is on the way. Lord Krishna, the hero, must be on the way😳

Of course he will be. ☺️

Sun dhyan de vardaan le o swarnavarna Rukmini,

Honge wahi tere dhani jug jug jagat jinka rini!

Woh aayenge, le jayenge aadar sahit apni puri,

Vara-vishwa-mohan-veera-kanya Veera-jaaya sundari!

☺️☺️

This was the aadi DDLJ tho! 🤣

Rukmini Haran part was so soothing to watch. Loved it

And then the politics in Hastinapur started..🥱

Although I giggled when Duryodhana was trying to be benevolent and buying people's loyalty. He said he will help in Kanyadaan of that woman's daughter 😲

And the Lakshagriha conspiracy starts...

I kinda feel personally attacked by Samay babu's "tippani mat kariye" comment! 🤣
