They can try a decent Indian version of Gone with the wind. But it needs guts to show Scarlett unchanged.

Agreed...
Indian women should be tolerant, forgiving, capable of giving bhashans every now n then, sanskari, etc, etc in the serials...
Anything beyond that will be seen as arrogant n blasphemous... 😭

Not only in serials, in reality also most Indians expect the same.

So true...these serials are nothing but only a reflection of this mindset...

The problem with Yavana attack theory is the word Yavana itself. Yavana was not in use in Sanskrit language before 4 cent BC. It came in use only around Alexander's invasion. It is often cited as an evidence in determining a Sanskrit book's age. So if we find the word yavana in MB, that only means MB got edited during 4-3 cent BC as MB events are said to have occured at least around 1800 BC. So until we get an evidence proving the word Yavana or any other word for Greeks existed in Sanskrit prior to 4 cent BC, we cannot consider Yavana attack theory. I checked 3 Sanskrit- English dictionaries plus Amarskosha and found no evidence to prove there was another word for Greeks other than Yavana. However, Monier Williams' dictionary explains Yavana as a less important caste born to Kshatriya & Vaishya but the source of such a reference is uncertain.

1) MB in its present form was completed in 300-400 AD. Well in the time frame for the word Yavana to be used. Not saying that was the case but deffo possible.

2) Yadav domination theory will not be logical unless we assume Panchali to be of Yadav origins too. Because G had no way of knowing everyone will be killed (assuming all were human)

Alternate theory- G did want a unified empire. But why?

What a fab article that was! 👏

But there are some obvious issues.

1) It fails to explain Panchali. Let me plagiarize and say, she remains after 5000 years, 'a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma'😆 Continuing in the same vein, 'but perhaps there is a key, which would be an interest she willingly and knowingly furthered'. Not as a pawn, mind you. She was too smart and too savvy for that

2) I have been trying to reconcile some time line issues. Finally came to the conclusion that Rukimini could not have possibly existed. At least not the one we hear about. He may have married a Vidarbha princess but she certainly could not have been Pradyumna's mother

(Again, this is strictly from a non divine POV)

Doctors, in most cases, can predict upcoming medical conditions based on current observations. G of course was not the God. But he surely had an extra ordinary intelligence. When we are talking about a politician, we must think like one. So I think G was able to figure out how was it possible to get most of warriors killed. An example is his convo with Ju soon after Ghato's death. We need reasons for him not trying a little to save anyone else than Pandavas. Satyaki was capable of handling himself. Only common sense was needed to sense nothing was safe until Ashwathama was alive. So was the case of Abhimanyu. Knowingly he got sacrificed. We can surely argue in favour of G here. But a man who could find spots in the battlefield where turning of wheels would cause upward movement of groundwater, mix with sand & trap anything falling in it, (that was how Karna got trapped) surely could have understood other threats also. I don't know for what, but G was silent many times when his intelligence was needed the most.
I don't believe all kings got killed in MB war. There were still kings when Yudhi did Ashwamedha.
As I'm searching for evidences to support Krishna's desire for Yadava domination, I seriously don't see another reason for him supporting war other than helping Arjuna as a friend. That one is plain, simple & non-questionable.
