@ angela

what cheeky brothers! then again the kurukshetra war not the fairest and had tactics there too. just been wikipediaing right now lol

@ dey

women are limited so much more than men and it is a shame. i see older women who want to learn and do something with their life after dedicating decades to their families who some of them treat them with disrespect. i encourage all of them to do so because the only expiry date you have for your dream is the ultimate one.

Who told you that Atominis ? It was not a property dispute. A state is not a King's property. That made Bhisma repent in the end . He said,' A state cannot be distributed to settle family matters. It was one wrong decision he made while giving away Indraprastha to the Pandavas. He thought this way he could save the brothers but a state is always superior to family matters.

Duryodhan was such a bad administrator that the writer had to change his name. He was orginally named Suryodhan but writer himself was tired of describing his actions and his name was changed midway to Duryodhan. Not to forget one who could not save the grace of a family , one who tried to kill Bheema while they were still kids and one who tried to kill all the Pandavas by a trick cannot be a king.

Dhritarastra had all the qualities of a ruler but he was bling that refrained him from taking the post of a king. Also, Pandu could not have a child. Dritarastra rested all his last hopes on his son. Gndhari therefore is believed to have asked for 100 sons who will be as powerful as her husband. Duryodhan was powerful of course but was born with all the jealosy and other weakness his own father had.

I know. It feels like woman is like a doormat!😡 Kurukshetra war, well , here sons of many were killed. And Draupadi was held the one as the cause!😡

I read a blog that Duryodhan was not a bad king. Even Gurcharan Das book says so.

If state is not property then why Yudhistra staked it in a gamble?

How was a guy like him worthy of throne?

I am sorry. I don't consider Pandavas great harbingers of Dharma.

@bold - Who said they were! No character in MB, not even of Krishna, followed Dharma without missing even a single time. Each character has faults.

To tell you guys the truth, I never liked Mahabharat. Too complex. I thought that it was to demeaning to Draupadi, and when I was young, I liked Ramayan, and then I grew up and understood exactly what the whole epic was about. Now I don't like it either.

It shows that the patriarchal mindset has been prevalent since those times.

This is why I don't like this country. For its orthodox and conservative thinking.

So I am back after some time. Anyone miss me?

@ Atominis

Agree on all countries sucking to different extents

Women will continue to have it stacked against them because regardless how modern people come some of the mindsets remain always and are even encouraged.

@ ecri
