What do you think was the most heart-breaking moment in the Mahabharata?

you know there are many. but still if I had to pick one it woudl be Karna's death. The only character who has been on the receiving end of nothing but injustice right from his birth, he was one character who didn't deserve to die.

To me the scene of his death was diluted as Krishna makes Arjun recall every wrong he has done, including harassment of Draupadi and scheming to kill Abhimanyu.

To me the saddest scene was when Kunti reveals to him that he is her son, requests him to call himself Kaunteya, but he refuses. And says, quite wistfully that had she acknowledged him as her son on the day of the tournament, everything would have been different.

Me cried a river. Bas!

And then the Mahabharat wouldn't have been the same!

For me the epic is as much about the feud between the Kauravas ad the Pandavas as it is about the person who was a victim of circumstances, the decisions he took as a result of them and ultimately all of it culminating into a tragic end for him.

I love the Mahabharat. When it was written who new how relatable it would be even in the twenty first century?

If Karna is your favorite character, then Palace Of Illusions is a must read!

I think Karna was one of the best characters in the show - largely human. I never "got" any of the others as much. Especially Arjuna.

By the way, when Ghatotkatcha dies and falls on the Kaurava army to make him cause damage to the enemy even in death - was pretty sad too.

What a waste!
