Well you got me wrong, by "Sadly" I wanted to mean fortunately

The writer's work is a great piece of literature

why he wrote a book on Duryadhan to learn about that you need to read the preface of the book, or you can talk to him directly in twitter.

P.S:- I don't think he wrote the book just for publicity

really interesting one... thanks for sharing this... Every character of this great epic has shades in them..thats what makes them so interesting...

so u agree with the book or you just like it as a piece of literature?

i read it and it has conveniently excluded the heinous crimes of duryodhan to show him a so called kind, animal/human rights activist and why is caste discrimination blamed on pandavas when it was started by dron and other elders? lol shakuni is the scapegoat there and as if duri is a kid who does not have any brains, he is totally free of all his disgusting crimes. lol he is not even responsible for his own choices.

duruyodhana can fight for his right...but the path he did choose was wrong..its not the elderst son should be throne.😲..its the elder among the grandsons should be throne the king..if i am not worong yudhistra was the eldest...cfan i ask you one thing., when pandu left everything behind for his brother...shouldn't they consider his thayag..i will tell you the real mahabharath is not to justify the wrong deeds...its all said to think about our jealousy., about our itcha to conquer., its all about humans itcha...i can never accept duryodhana as a nice person...he can never be...but every person as a good quality like pure friendship...so you feel for his just one nice quality he should be spared...

so one gets heaven for molested, abusing, disrobing and disrespecting women in public...in a hall filled with women? Sorry...i dont agree with you...even if Duri did 100 good deeds, yet his single evil deed of molesting Draupadi fails him 1000more good deeds... Clearly his jealousy and his revenge were more important than being fair... He tried to poison Bheema...took away the rights of Pandavas...even if he had given 5 villages saying that he gave it in daan...the war would not have happened... he not only took away the right of Pandavas...but also disrespected the entire Arya clan including Kuru and Padavs..it was a shameful incidence for everyone... and even if one was a slave, it doesnt give the master a right to outrage her modesty... even if the laws were different at that time...bt women were given the place of Ma Durga and Lakshmi...and nobody could ever dare to disrespect the goddess! I dont knw and dont care whether Duri went to heaven or not...but for me he was utterly wrong...and wats wrong is wrong and that cant be changed...whether anyone portrays him as a hero or even as a god!

Oh hey everyone who dies on the battle field gets heaven you see.
You would be happy(or outraged) to know that king kansa too got heaven. So ... 😆
indra told yudhi that the people whose sin outweights their good deeds get heaven and after their punya is exhausted they are sent in hell.
while the people whose bad deeds outweights their sins get hell first and after that they are sent to heaven forever.

I often wonder that those who put their wife at stake in gambling and were quietly standing watching their own wife get molested were any deserving of heaven too.. ofcourse Duryodhan is no hero.. n i guess most of us agree to that .. n thats the reason he died so brutally in the battle.. as a lesson to the world..that this is the end one meets when one's sin crosses all boundary.. but if there is a perspective which tries to find answer to why was he like this...n what ultimately led to his destruction..n was there any other shade than just being evil .. and whether or not he was just a plain evil character.. then i dont see any wrong in that perspective..since righteous ones here were not perfectly right too.. what makes Mahabharat an interesting epic is the fact that people can question,analyse and take something from this... from good they can take what to do..from evil they can take what not to do... and good and evil portion existed in almost each of character except Lord himself- that is what makes them grey instead of pure white and black... It was just that evil in some crossed its threshold while good in some retained more and came out more strongly..

I take Vyasa Mahabharat also as a piece of literature...

I have not seen those incidents through my eyes...
