Who was the heir to the Throne after Yudhishtira? - Page 5

Abhimanyu was the heir

Abhimanyu got married before other Upapandavas

His birth is given before birth of Upapandavas

He was definitely older, What reason and authority did Yudhishtira have to denounce right of his first born and give it to Abhimanyu? Unless Abhimanyu was older and he was the heir

If abhimanyu s oldest and he was 16 at the time of war that makes youngest upandava 10 that means he was not even born when pandavas went on exile and that is not possible

Abhimanyu being 16 doesn't make any sense, He was definitely older

Khandavprasth, Jarasandha, Rajyasuya yagya, Dice game + 13 Years of exile + 1 year peace offering + Abhimanyu's marriage and Uttara's pregnancy

All that happened in 16 years?

Rama rama kya hai yeh drama 😆

Khandavaprasth was built before Arjuna's exile.

Then, Subhadra haran happened and the baby was born.

Khandavadahana happened in 2 weeks

Jarasandh also few weeks

Imperial campaign a couple of years followed by rajasuya.

Then dice game, followed by exile of 13 years.

Abhimanyu is easily imaginable as 16. At the most in his early 20s because the only thing in that list which could've taken longer is imperial campaign. Even then, it wouldn't have been more than 5 to 6 years.

Aswathama by mistakes kill all up-pandav when they are sleeping

Aswathama thought pandav are sleeping so he shoot arrow on them when they are sleeping

But actually up - pandav are sleeping and they all died together as aswathama shot each arrow on them when they are sleeping at night

Since up pandav also died therefore yudhistar son also could not get throne

No, when he went back to Dury to gloat, he told him that he had killed Dhrishtadyumna, Shikhandi and Draupadi's sons. He had no illusions about who he killed. He wanted to wipe out the Pandava lineage, which is why he re-directed his Brahmashira at Uttara

As far I know when duryodhan smash head of pandav then duryodhan realize it was not pandav head and did not duryodhan ask ashwatnma whose head u have bring?

No, Duryodhan only congratulates him when Ashwatthama tells him it's the Pandavas. When he shows him the heads and Duryodhan realizes it's the Upa Pandavas, that's when he chastises him. Fueled by anger at Duryodhan's criticism, Ashvatthama then decides to end the entire Kuru vansh by killing Parikshit, because Duryodhan didn't "appreciate" what he did for him.

Should it matter who was older? As the son of the King, Prativindhya should have been heir.

Sanjaya continued, "Having said these words unto the king deprived of his senses and lying with broken thighs, Ashvatthama once more cast his eyes on him and uttered these words, "If, O Duryodhana, thou hast any life in thee still, listen to these words that are so pleasant to hear. On the side of the Pandavas, only seven are alive, and among the Dhartarashtras, only we three! The seven on their side are the five brothers and Vasudeva and Satyaki; on our side, we three are myself and Kripa and Kritavarma! All the sons of Draupadi have been slain, as also all the children of Dhrishtadyumna! All the Pancalas too have been slain, as also the remnant of the Matsyas, O Bharata! Behold the vengeance taken for what they had done! The Pandavas are now childless! While buried in sleep, the men and animals in their camp have all been slain! Penetrating into their camp in the night, O king, I have slain Dhrishtadyumna, that wight of sinful deeds, as one kills an animal."

Duryodhana then, having heard those words that were so agreeable to his heart, regained his senses and said these words in reply, "That which neither Ganga's son, nor Karna, nor thy sire, could achieve, hath at last been achieved by thee today, accompanied by Kripa and Bhoja. Thou hast slain that low wretch (Dhrishtadyumna) who was commander of the Pandava forces, as also Shikhandi. In consequence of this I regard myself equal to Maghavat himself! Good be to you all! Let prosperity be yours! All of us will again meet together in heaven!"

There's birth of Upapandavas too

It is written in both Abhimanyu and Upapandava's birth text that Arjun trained them, Obviously happened before he had to go on exile, not possible if Abhimanyu was 2 years old

"Three and thirty years have passed away since the time, when Arjuna, having invited Agni, gratified him at Khandava, vanquishing all the celestials. We have never heard of his defeat anywhere, O child. Like the case of Indra, victory is always Arjuna's, who hath for his charioteer in battle Hrishikesa, endued with the same character and position. "

According to this, The great War took place after 33 years of Khandavprasth fire incident which took place after Abhimanyu's birth

See my citation above to RkS. I have no idea which Mahabharat you are citing. Ashwi didn't take any heads to Dury: he just told him what he had done, and Dury congratulated him
