Biye pore language problems hobe na. 😆 Arjuna to bangla janena. Or shonge hindi te kotha bolte hobe.



But then their sasur bari will go from Kolkata to I think Karnasuvarna, which I think was the capital of Anga. That or Lakhanavati (today's Malda)

How many of you Bongs are from that area?

but anga was not in bengal its in modern day bihar so karna will speak bhojpuri instead of Bengali and since i have chosen Bavrubahan i have to learn Manipuri



Anga was North Bengal - today's Malda to Sikkim, and bits of Bihar. So the languages he'd have to handle would mainly be Bengali, Nepali and maybe a bit of Maithili.

north bengal is called pundravardhan and malda was in gauda
check anga in the age of 16 mahajanapadas was in eastern bihar may b few of north west bengal can b included

here is wiki reference

Location[edit]

Based on Mahabharata evidence, the kingdom of the Angas roughly corresponded to the districts of Bhagalpur, Banka, Purnia, Munger, Katihar and Jamui in Bihar and districts of Deoghar, Godda, and Sahebganj in Jharkhand; later extended to include Malda and Uttar Dinajpur in Bengal. The River Champa (modern Chandan) formed the boundaries between the Magadha in the west and Anga in the east. Anga was bounded by river Koshi on the north. According to the Mahabharata, Duryodhana had named Karna the King of Anga.

Sabhaparava of Mahabharata (II.44.9) mentions Anga and Vanga as forming one country. The Katha-Sarit-Sagara also attests that Vitankapur, a city of Anga was situated on the shores of the sea. Thus the boundaries of Anga may have extended to the sea in the east.

Capital[edit]

The capital of Anga was Champa (Camp). According to Mahabharata and Harivamsa, Champa was formerly known as Malini[N.B. 1]. Champa was located on the right bank of river Ganges near its junction with river Champa. It was a very flourishing city and is referred to as one of six principal cities of ancient India (Digha Nikaya). Bhagalpur in Bihar, usually identified as the site of Champa, still has two villages called Champa-nagara and Champa-pura.[6]

Champa was noted for its wealth and commerce. It was also a great center of trade and commerce and its merchants regularly sailed to distant Suvarnabhumi for trading purposes. During his pilgrimage there in the end of the 4th century, the Chinese monk Faxan noted the numerous Buddhist temples that still existed in the city, transliterated Chanpo in Chinese ( pinyin: Zhnb; Wade-Giles: Chanpo)[N.B. 2]. The kingdom of Anga by then had long ceased to exist; it had been known as Yngji () in Chinese.[N.B. 3]

The later kingdom of Champa (in present-day Vietnam) was thought to have originated from this east Indian Champa, although anthropological evidence indicates they are from Borneo on the other side Indochinese Peninsula.

Other important cities of Anga are said to be Assapura and Bhadrika.

The points I've considered...

1. he kept himself away from those bunch of crookes.Even though he was the strongest of all he never troubled himself for power.

2.he never distanced himself from Krishna come what may.

3.he had self restraint.

4.Krishna didn't wish to stay anymore on earth without Balram.Proves what he was.(This is the reason why I chose Balram over Krishna).

5.You said he was an alcoholic but people who were fully conscious turned out to be great idiots of history!btw what can alcohol do to a person who is always immersed in the divine bliss.Who is one with the Supreme.What bliss can alcohol give to one who experienced divine bliss!?

I wouldn't go by Wiki - they get things wrong. Pundra is what's today's Bangladesh (according to 1 account, it was run by Paundrak Vasudev, our DBSK hero 😆). Malda == Gauda, but that was not the name at the time, the name was Lakshmanavata or Lakhanavati. Karna's kingdom would have been everything above that.


South Bengal went by the name Banga, and was one of the Kaurava allies in the war. Sabhaparva chapter 44 is about the death of Sishupala, and has nothing on the geographical composition of Anga.

Shashanka lived in the 7th century AD. For Dwapar Yuga, it could easily have been a part of Karna's kingdom. The name itself - Karnasuvarna - suggests that it was either built by Karna, or one of his successors.

I'd like to see where in MB is the exact geographical description of Anga given. The one Wiki cited above is certainly not it - no mention of either Karna nor Anga in that chapter.
