Duryodhan got hastinapur. Duryodhan got the throne. Even though yudi was the eldest son of the previous king - pandu. But all pandavas got was a barren land - khandava

The empire they built up is on the basis of their own hard work and alliance to panchal. That itself should be prove enough how capable Pandavas were

Duryodhan had to resort to dyuth to win Pandavas hard earned empire

I think it’s the matter of training, they [Bhishma and Vidur] trained Yudhishthir to be a king but Duryodhan was trained by shakuni who only knew how to do planning and plotting.

And about the khandavaprastha part they established it with the help of Vishwakarma and about the administration then it was handled by Ministers in those time and Narad muni too came to give Yudhisthira the knowledge about how to do administrative work and who was with Duryodhan? Bhishma and Vidura were against him and Dhritraashtra, they only cared about their rights and wrongs.

And Yudhishthir got the knowledge on Dharma from his celestial father whereas Duryodhan never had this advantage. All were against Duryodhan since the day he was born, so it was definitely unfair to him. Pandavas were capable but they were made invincible by Bhishma, Vidura, Drona and Krishna’s support but all Duryodhan had was Shakuni who was only interested in his revenge.

I have sent my answers for both rounds. 😊😊

The text doesn't tell us whether Abhimanyu was born first or last or in between the Draupadeyas. Attainment of majority at eighteen is not a concept found in Mahābhārata.

An individual is a juvenile who cannot incur sin until the fourteenth monsoon, according to Āṇi-Māṇḍavya (Ādiparvan 101.26): ā caturdaśamād varṣān na bhaviṣyati pātakam.

About being considered major, isn't it 16?

Which character's fate was the worst in Interstellarr's opinion?

A) Kashi princess Amba : Its because Amba was rejected by her lover and later rejected by Bhishma too (who was bounded by his oath) for marrying her. (I'll explain it in details in our forum) She had indeed no option other than killing herself. That's why I had chosen her.

B) Gandhar princess Gandhari : Her fate was also worse but its indeed her own fault that she didn't train her sons and let her own brother ruined her sons' future.

C) Hidimbi (also called Hidimba, Bhima's wife) : Her fate was really worse but she was agreed to this option of leaving her husband after her son's birth.

Interstellarr's Answer :

A) Kashi princess Amba

About choosing Drau's abduction over molesting Sairandhri : Both are equally heinous acts, that's why given these options myself. Both acts are indeed no less than trying to molest Draupadi. But Jayadrath was more wrong since he was the brother-in-law of Pandavas and he abducted her and proposed for marriage even after knowing that she was Pandavas' wife. Whereas Keechak was also a criminal but remember Jayadrath had done similar act being a relative of them.

And sympathising with Bhishma over Karna.

I always sympathise with Bhishma more since he had himself suffered a lot, left the throne and never built his own family. If you see closely, he had no one whom he could call his own, at least Radheya had his Radha Maa.

P.S. Do note, these bonus round questions were set by me and I, myself, given these options since I believe all of them are almost equally suited as the options for the questions. And rest discussions, we will do in our Mahabharat Katha forum in the coming time. And if you feel I had stated any info from MB incorrectly, let me tell you? I am not any Mahabharat scholar, rather a Physics scholar, but I love the epic from my heart.

@Italics:

Just some thought around pledges made and whether they indirectly played a role in events that occurred.

About the question of Devarat Bhishma v/s Karna:

Devarat Bhishma was forewarned by his mother Mata Ganga for whatever would eventually happen to him. It was his decision.

With Karna, it was to do with things beyond his control.

In Kannada there is a poem "Jananavanaruhi Kondanu" the truth of his birth killed him.
