First of all I don't want a person like you explaining me Hinduism, your explanation was the stupidest thing I've ever heard ( Unless you plan to go beyond it), I don't really think you are a Hinduism scholar and who are you to stop me from reading Hinduism scriptures, A guy who thinks he has read the original scriptures is stupid, every scripture in Hinduism is altered heavily by the translators, you should really learn to accept that what you read is not 100% true, if you do not wish to accept that it is not altered you can happily keep living in your bubble.

Thanks for getting all personal and rhetorical without replying to my explanations.

I'm not stopping you from reading Hinduism. When did I say that? I just said that you are reading/viewing them for entertainment purposes only.

I never said I read the original scriptures nor have I said that I'm a Hinduism scholar. Don't put words in my mouth. Thank you.

Now I'll answer all your questions without getting personal and rhetorical.. Firstly, I agree that scriptures are heavily altered by translators but that does not mean the scriptures themselves are fake. The reason I say so is that even with many alterations the major storyline has remained intact. Example: inspite of many alterations, all alterations agree that Mahabharata war was fought between Pandavas and Kauravas.

Secondly and most importantly, all stories in Hinduism have a backstory to it (whether they are altered or not). If you start saying that its stupid to use backstory to justify another story and that you don't accept it then you need to remove pretty much all puranas, mahabharata, ramayana and even parts of upanishads and vedas. There isn't one story in Hinduism that doesn't have a backdrop (except ofcourse the story of Hiranyagarbha which is considered the starting point). You don't need to be a scholar in Hinduism to know this simple and basic fact.

EDIT: I was curious and was going through your profile and it seems you pretty much make the same statement in many threads. If you have already made up your mind that all scriptures are heavily altered then I have nothing to say and you are free to completely ignore my above explanation.

shripadk;i have read your posts ,m not challenging your knowledge but there is something i dont agree

"No Ved Vyas never made girl marrying 5 husbands controversial. It was made by Starbharat. Please differentiate the two. He never wrote that a girl marrying 5 husbands was Adharma."

All I'm trying to hint at is that it wasn't a big deal to have many wives and many husbands back in the day. It might seem odd and probably even revolting today but that wasn't the case back then."

so Ved vyas dint say drapuadi marriage with 5 pandavas was adharm,it star mahabarat,tell me dont you feel it was adharm ,it might be not wrong a girl marring five men but this was against her wish,and anything against the wish of the girl is adharm only ,even when man marries multiple women but they dont stay one year with another women,they have the full freedom ,they can be with whichever partner they want.Whats important is will and wish of person.

Actually, Draupadi wasnt forced to marry the five ... she always had the choice to say no and go back to Panchala. If she did not gave her consent then those guys werent going to force her to marry them.She was a strong and outspoken person, and has a record of speaking against injustice being done to her or anything being forced on her.They go to Panchala and Drupada doesnt want this marriage to take place, if she was being forced then she would have spoken at that time to tell her father that she wont marry them. She was the Princess, in her own land, her Father backing her up.

You just cannot say that someone reads scriptures for entertainment purpose only, who are you to say that? , Unlike you ,I read them to find logic somewhere behind that ,but you read it like a holy scripture in which every god damn word is true because it is written/said by God , I need explanations for what i read , You can use the back-story of a character if you cant explain the things happened to him ,but that's not correct, just because you cant explain something doesn't mean you have to use the back story , If you want to use the back-story then there is no point reading Mahabharata because you can explain Mahabharata in 1 or 2 sentences by saying, "It was all Krishna's Leela and the characters destiny ".

Altering doesn't mean you can change the Basics , The basics are always the same but the content and the minor details like whether Karna went to Drona or not changes with every Translation , People here Claim to have read "Vyas's" MB thats what makes me tell them that you did not get an autographed Book by Vyas - Courtesy medha00 ,it has been translated by hundreds of translators and altered Heavily . Every point is valid in Mahabharata ,Every version of MB is valid even Star plus's version is Valid.

Getting to Draupadi's Marriage , If Draupadi really wanted 5 husbands it was not adharma, if she wanted only Arjuna and was forced to marry the rest then it was straight up Adharma. It wasn't me who said " horse Shit" , "Its nonsense" ,you are the one acting like a scholar and denying everyone else 's point ,that too rudely.

It was me who said that no has an autographed copy of VedVyas MB ... don't steal my credit away from me, Please.😳

i quite agree with this as per the epic neither Draupadi nor pandavas are shown to be very sad about this i mean there is no incident in the actual epic in which they are shown crying and also society at large does respect them never looked down upoun them.Draupadi was always appreciated all her husbands if we read her conversation with satyabhama and jaydharatha.

In this serial pandavs and Drauapdi are shown sad and crying becuase this is a serial all this drama is needed for dramatic effect we shouldnt take it very seriously

Ya actually it is your sentence but your sentence describes what i wanted to say perfectly, I can write "Courtesy Medha" near that sentence if you want.
