Krish...

Actually I felt the same. As myths said, condition was laid by Satyavati's father but Satyavati has a hand in saying her views right ? 😉 But Satyavati did not understand that whose son sits on the throne is not important. Important is Dharma to rule HP. (Not harry potter). Satya thought about wat good the kingdom brought to her. She did not think about what good she would be giving to her Kingdom as the Queen of HP..

Myths..

Then you are actually agreeing with Krish. If you think this way, Satyavati also did the same thing as Dhrit. She also wanted her sons to be king. Her benefit. So isn't that also Putra Prem? Blindness in son's love? 😉 I don't blame Dhrit for this because he was blind because Ambika was afraid of Ved Vyas and closed her eyes when he came to bless her with a son. As a result, Dhrit was born blind. If Ambika would not have closed her eyes, Dhrit would not be blind and become the King and no problems at all.. then we all know the story.. So should we blame Ambika? I don't think so. 😊

We can't simply disagree to the fact that SHAKUNI was one of the reasons. But, we can't deny that Shakuni was very intelligent and clever.(In the wrong way obvio!) So he knew that if Dury and Pandavs come face to face.. Pandavs had a very big chance of winning because of Krishna in their side.(Shakuni always thought Krishna was helping Pandavs...in the serial also he tells Dury to befriend him.) So, would he really support a war? Obviosly when there was no other way..and all Shakuni's tricks ended then war. Shakuni always played his game from the back. Sometimes made Dury and Dushy do the tasks he wished.. Sometimes trying to brainwash Dhrit and sometimes trying to act good in front of Bheeshma. 😆

PS- This goes for everyone who thinks Shakuni was the reason. I don't say a complete no. But my point of view is this.

I agree with the ones who say Draupadi was NOT AT ALL the reason for Kurukshetra.

Even if Drau is blamed for the war, then to be precise its Drupad. In the original MB, Drupad asked for such a daughter who would be the reason for the destruction of the Kurus. Draupadi's life is a very mournful one. (according to me.) She was born because her father wanted to destroy the Kuru dynasty. She wasn't born because her father wanted her as a daughter who a father can love. So, why blame Draupadi? It was Draupad then. And if it is because of vastraharan that some people blame Drau, then it was Yudhishtir. He was the one who did all the gambling. Why blame Draupadi? Draupadi has her own viewpoints and she is a very very strong character but she was never even allowed to show her own view-points. When was she allowed? She was humiliated by Kauravs and inspite of her hubbies present, she did not receive any help from them. Only Krishna helped her. She is the princess of Panchal, the Queen of Indraprastha and most of her life was in the forests. She had to spend 1 year as a maid too. She loved Arjun the most and she hardly got any time to spend with Arjun. (His exile..Subahdra..) And... SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO GET MARRIED TO ARJUN AND SHE WAS MARRIED TO ALL THE 5 PANDAVS... WHAT CAN BE MORE MOURNING THEN THIS?

No reason for draupadi to be blamed for Kurukshetra. I am glad that there are so many people here to agree with me,

I agree that Dhrit was blind,but he was blind mentally too.Why couldn't he figure out Shakuni's intentions? When he came to know about Duryodhan trying to kill Bheem,why didn't he take a stand? Infact when Bheeshma tells him he tries to pacify Pitama by saying he's just a kid and very innocent.If he had put his foot down at that instant this would not have happened.Dhrit was like a pillar to the selfish,arrogant and jealous putra which paved way for this adharm.

Hello everyone. Since we have already got the hints of Kurukshetra in Mahabharat, in this thread please give your views/answers to one of the biggest questions.. Who was the actual reason for the Kurukshetra war?(I am talking about who was the person for whom Kurukshetra was held?) Many people say Draupadi was the actual reason. (She is even referred to as "Satekkhaki- the one who is the reason behind the death of 100 men). Is it really Draupadi or is it someone else? Please give your views...

PS- Please remember the rules of IndiaForum before commenting. No bashing of actors or characters are allowed.

The main reason for Kurukshetra war was Shakuni. I say so not because of his character but because it was his Yuga (Dwapara was a demon who incarnated as Shakuni). Duryodhana was the demon Kali who helped Shakuni. The true war was between Lord Krishna and Shakuni. Pandavas and Kauravas were just pawns.

Shantanu was heavily grieved and hence Devavrata sacrificed everything. Nobody would have been able to do so..is there a second Bheeshma? The gods showered flowers from the heaven..so I guess they wouldn't have done this for a 'USELESS' action.
If his oath was responsible alone, why the war took place after such an extended lapse?
Second point: Bheeshma wasn't the king..and alas the king was blind in his 'Putra-moh'. All he could do was to advice them, and he did it. He's not the one to be blamed if the men didn't bother to pay any attention.
There are several other events and people combined together that led to the Kurukshetra. Agreed that Bheeshma's sacrifice led its foundation, but others hold the responsibility more than him.
Bheeshma's sacrifice was pure and selfless, whereas one can clearly sense that this purity and selflessness was totally null in the case of others.

Those who are insulting his oath, I suggest them to go and read the original texts. Then perhaps they will be able to know that Bheeshma was destined to remain a Brahmachari due to sage Vasishtha's curse. Also, don't insult his oath!

it was not satya who laid the condition dnt go by this show..it was satyavatis father who said that which lead to bheeshma pratigya..and abt satya objecting to her fathers decision it was not kali yuga it was dwapar😆..that time parents words r considered to be order so i dnt tnk satya had ny choice to object..n satyas sons werent adharmis as shown in the show.. actually vichi was suffering frm TB..n tats y he died..

i am ok with drith having love fr his son n wantd dhuri to becum kin etc tat any father will have bt not so much love that he wil be quite while his kul vadhu is getting insulted by his own sons ..he could hav given one order and the whole game wud hav stopped then and there bt he choose to be quite tats my problem..vidur pleaded him bt he did nt do nything..nly wn there were sounds f ill omen n wn in the fear f destruction he gave back pandavas their kingdom not out of any generosity..and even aft vastraharan he again called pandavas fr another game of dyuth which was not even required..he did major contribution towards war..ok dhuri was blind in revenge or watever but being a father and most importantly a king he shud hav taken a right decision at right time which he failed to do..there s a big difference bet love fr son and supporting wrong things done by his son..a parent shud guide their children wn they go on wrong path n as a king he shud hav thot abt his ppl and hw much destruction the war wil bring on kingdom and atleast he shud hav agreed fr krishnas proposal of 5 villages bt instead they insulted krishna too in the sabha n he had to show his virat roop..

Draupadi was one of the reasons for the great KURUKHSHETRA battle to break out.. To say the truth, no one was the main reason for the breakout of the war.. All reasons join together to make on main reason for the war to break out.. Shakuni's evil-mind, Dyryodhana's envy, Draupadi's vastra-haran, all these from the reason for the breakout of the great battle...
