@ all who are thinking that Shakuni did not cheat:

Just think in a simple dice game or ludo, if anyone throws the dice & it shows 1, & the player immediately changes it to 6 by a hand skill which the opponent can't catch, is not it a cheating? When the dicefall depends on luck then if a player changes it manually then what is it? Similarly in a numbering game, if the thrown number is changed by some hand magic then it is indeed a cheating. Yes Shakuni was a masterpiece in this counting & changing skill but this is dishonesty so we can't praise him for this skill.

I have heard that Yudhishthir staked Draupadi because Shakuni said that if he staked her he could have his brothers back .Is this true?

And I know this is stupid but...I was just wondering.

😔 Were the Pandavas also insulted personally .I mean...(I know Draupadi's insulting was enough😡)but were they insulted in some way before Draupadi entered.

were the pandavas also disrobed.(not like Draupadi but...😲)

I've read some say that Karna ordered Dushashan to bring Draupadi forcibly, Thats not correct, It was Duryodhana who ordered Dushy to bring Draupadi forcibly.

Note - In the para below "Suta's son" mentioned is not Karna, He is just a normal slave.

"Duryodhana, hearing this, said,--'O Dussasana, this son of my Suta, of little intelligence, feareth Vrikodara. Therefore, go thou thyself and forcibly bring hither the daughter of Yajnasena, Our enemies at present are dependent on our will. What can they do thee?' Hearing the command of his brother, prince Dussasana rose with blood-red eyes, and entering the abode of those great warriors, spake these words unto the princess, 'Come, come, O Krishna, princess of Panchala, thou hast been won by us. And O
thou of eyes large as lotus leaves, come now and accept the Kurus for thy lords. Thou hast been won virtuously, come to the assembly.' At these words, Draupadi, rising up in great affliction, rubbed her pale face with her hands, and distressed she ran to the place where the ladies of Dhritarashtra's household were. At this, Dussasana roaring in anger, ran after her and seized the queen by her locks, so long and blue and wavy. Alas! those locks that had been sprinkled with water sanctified with mantras in the great Rajasuya sacrifice, were now forcibly seized by the son of Dhritarashtra disregarding the prowess of the Pandavas. And Dussasana dragging Krishna of long long locks unto the presence of the assembly--as if she were helpless though having powerful protectors--and pulling at her, made her tremble like the banana plant in a storm. And dragged by him, with body bent, she faintly cried--'Wretch! it ill behoveth thee to take me before the assembly. My season hath come, and I am now clad in one piece of attire. But Dussasana dragging Draupadi forcibly by her black locks while she was praying piteously unto Krishna and Vishnu who were Narayana and Nara (on earth), said unto her--'Whether thy season hath come or not, whether thou art attired in one piece of cloth or entirely naked, when thou hast been won at dice and made our slave, thou art to live amongst our serving-women as thou pleasest"
