^ OK. I'm gonna reply for last time on this topic. All the stories you mentioned none of them are true and from short versions of MB & the link of that blog you posted it has no credibility. Most of them are fanfictions like Karna & Draupadi's love story these are fanfictions. There are countless blogs are there, written about Karna & his greatness and he has been described like a sinless soul who had no wrong. I love Karna too but it doesn't mean I'll trust anything & everything written about him.

Anyways, I'd like to finish the debate here by mentioning two good authentic versions of Mahabharata.



1.KMG's Mahabharata.

2.BORI critical edition.

saw an old Sanjeev Kumar movie some time back..the guy who played Krishna looked and acted really well(not sure but I think it's the same actor who played aishwarya's dad in HDDCS)

Kunaal Kapoor perhaps?
He has got the right complexion, the charming smile... Not sure about his acting chops though!

Or maybe some relatively unknown theatre actor?

yes u can try Bibek Debroy's Mahabharat which has 10 parts.
followed by Harivamsa which is a khilla that is an extension
as after writing Mahabharata Vyasa was asked by everyone to tell
more of Krishna who is introduced only from Draupadi's swayamvar..
so Vyasa wrote Harivamsa later..
its direct translation of Vyasa's Sanskrit.

however those who are nt philosophically or spiritually inclined they too
can enjoy Mahabharat if they follow The Aryavarta Chronicles which
is also an excellent piece of fiction presented from political viewpoint where
Krishna is nt seen as a God bt as a Wise man who rose to the position of
mass respect through his deeds.

Just follow the original mahabharata , why follow somebody else 's version.
Just see the myth of lakshman rekha which has been created by tulasdas,real ramayana has nothing related to it

also few writers have wrote their own versions. Like The Palace of Illusions. Draupadi is shown in love with Karna in this book. I didnt like that. There are also few version from Bhim's point of view. The novel on which this south Indian movie supposed to be made is from Bhim's pint of view. There is another novel which was supposd to be Amba's point of view in which she and Bhisham were shown in love. There are many version. Just there are so many novels on Ramayana from different point of view-Ravan, Seeta, Laxman etc. I have read Raavan version novel. It was a nice.
These novels humanise the epics removing the magic, vardaan etc. And show a different perspective. They make u to introspect ur earlier opinion. But these are limited to very few people. And I do want some drama or a chapter to be included in school books. I remember reading a drama in my 9th class. It was from Duryodhan's perspective. Him.countering yudhistir on certain points. They were logical and very well made point. Like Duryodhan desrved the kingdom as he was the eldest son of the king at that time. And why shud he be liable to.give them his land.
