Just saying "I am forveer in your debt" is not the hallmark of a good friend. Karna did nothing to protect Duryodhan from becoming an outright Adharmi.
This should not be called friend dear, this is a slavery for me! Only a slave would nod with his master in every step the master takes. A friend always wishes good for own beloved. So...ye aarop satya hai 😉
b) Wishing for the bad of people without reason- Pandavas and Draupadi. What did they do to him that he was so jealous of Arjuna since Gurukul? He was involved in poisoning Bheem, he was involved in Lakshagriha conspiracy where KUNTi too was involved. I am so eager to make Kunti shout at Karna at trial but that will be too much so bunking it.
Even his so well-known 'daan veerta' was just a vow taken for Arjun vadh 😲 that's too after Duri's Vaishnava sacrifice, while he is assuring Duri to kill all Pandavas 🤢 is it fair to respect this man as a great 'daan veer'? I think this aarop too is true! Indra will be our witness here. He will explain how Karna made a deal with him, wanted his shakti astra in return of his kavach kundal. There Karna clearly tells Indra, "I will not give my kavach kundal unless you give me your weapon." And oh, the great 'daan veer' could not accept the proposal of giving only 5 villages 😲
c) Not respecting elders- Includes Dronacharya and Bheeshma. Drona was his guru and its a student's duty to listen to him and not demand things for killing someone. How unfair. A bad student. Apart from that as Semanti mentions numerous insults of Bheeshma, Vidur, Drona etc.
Height of this is in Udyoga Parva, when priest of Panchal comes with peace message, only Karna speaks with him, without giving a chance to elders. Who is he to talk in between? A mere outsider, nothing else. Who gave him that right? Did he understand Kuru vansha's welfare even more than Bhishma and Vidur? I think this aarop is true as well.
d) Verbal assault of a woman- Whatever anyone says I have known Karna to have called Draupadi a wh**e and that is nothing strange. Karna was self obsessed and he was capable of saying something like that to take revenge of rejection. Also, Draupadi was wife of Pandavas and ARJUNA. Dury';s object of lust so...
No comments needed here 😆 justifying his act with Draupadi's sutaputra comment is not fair, only this much I would say here.
e)Keshav ko bandi banane ka prachesta - This is typical DK so not explaining. How about including not accepting Kunti's proposal before war in order to stop the war from Dury's side 😉 since not stopping war is such a big arop for people.
Why would he want to stop war? Was he himself not one of main reasons of victims' anger, like Duri was? so neither Duri nor Karna could stop war. Ye aarop bhi satya hi hai 😆
f) Breaking loyalty - If he would be loyal towards Duryodhan, than he would never promise Kunti of not killing the four Ps except Arjuna. I guess Karna had the capability to fight the Ps and he left that when Duryodhan expected only him to actually fight and kill the Pandavas. If he would be loyal towards Kunti (for some minutes after knowing the truth) then he would not say he will kill Arjun and come to Kunti's side.
If he would be loyal towards righteousness and dharma, then the question of supporting Dury never arises.
Even in war, he defeated Yudhi once but did not catch him. Well as per his promise to Kunti he could not kill Yudhi but could seize at least to make his side winner, no? This one is also true IMO.
g) Being too proud of himself and for his own good going towards Adharma - I guess this needs to explanation
There is another one. He spent maximum time in his friend's kingdom chatting and conspiring and doing other things. Did he care for his prajas of Anga kingdom? 😕 Was he a good king? Did he fulfill his raaj dharma?
