KARNA's wife was 'Vrushali'..
He had 9 sons out of which only 1 named, 'Vrishaketu' had survived in the war..after Karna's death, Arjuna took the guardianship of Vrishaketu..It is recorded that Arjun developed a great affection for his nephew, Vrishaketu and he trained him to be one of the greatest archers in the world..his 9 sons' names are as follows:-
1. Vrishaketu
2. Vrishasena
3. Satyasena
4. Sushena
5. Banasena
6. Prasena
7. Chitrasena
8. Shatrunjaya
9. Dvipata
😊

Yes, his sons took part in the war..his 8 sons (except Vrishaketu) were treacherously killed by the Pandavas..only Vrishaketu had survived the war..he didn't take an active participation in the war..Anga was not a part of Hastinapur..Hastinapur is now known as Delhi & Anga is now a part of Bihar's districts, Bhagalpur & Munger..

Correction - Hastinapur is now in Meerut district in UP, and there is a village by that very name. Indraprastha is part of East Delhi - trans Yamuna.

Some 110 yrs back the whole area near purana qila in Delhi near Pragati Maidan was Pandav's Indraprastha city and Purana Qila itself is Indraprastha Mahal

I was guiding tour groups and read a lot about the seven cities of Delhi. Then I came to know that british had the whole village of Indraprastha gaon uprooted so they could build India Gate.

Thanks for giving the list of Karna's children. How were all 8 killed trecherously? I know about the deaths of 4.

Vrishasena - on day 17, he was battling Nakul while Bhima was shredding Dushashan & drinking his blood. He was getting the better of Nakul. Then Arjun arrived and reminded Karna that while he had killed Arjun's son in his absence, Arjun would instead kill Karna's son right in front of him. W/ an arrow, he cut off Vrishasena's right hand, and then his head, and that started that final Arjun-Karna battle.

Chitrasena - on day 18, he was battling Nakul, and destroyed his bow & chariot. Nakul drew his sword, jumped on Chitrasena's chariot & cut off his head.

Following that, Nakul killed Sushena & Satyasena in a simple bow-arrow combat, or hurled javelins @ them, killing them.

How were the others - Banasena, Prasena, Shatrunjaya & Dvipatra - slain? And by whom?

From the above, I think only Vrishasena was slain unfairly. But Chitrasena died b'cos he failed to imagine that Nakul will jump on his chariot w/ his sword. There is nothing to suggest that any foul play happened for Sushena or Satyasena.
