^^^^ Then too, it wasn't the responsibility of the Pandavas to rescue them. Yudisthir told his brothers that the Gandharvas were foreigners, which was why they needed to fight them. So for him, blood was thicker than water, no matter how evil his cousins were.

So if Yudisthir is gonna take the side of his adharmi cousins just b'cos 'they were his brothers', he deserved to be called 'adharmi'

@ Vrish, LASTLY, I really want to know what you think about the following. Why do you think Draupadi asked Dhritrashtra to free all her husbands even though they didn't stand by her or try and save her? Why didn't she just leave them and go to Panchal to her father? Why did she chose to stand by them and go to the exile with them? I mean she was so badly insulted and humiliated and she was wild at her husbands so why did she not just leave them. I know she made sure she reminded them of her insult every day till justice was brought to her, but she really didn't have to face all the hurdles with them. In your words, she shouldn't have given a rat's rear, so why did she?

This one is easy - she did that to deepen their sense of guilt. You seem to think that Draupadi's relationship w/ her husbands == Yudisthir's relatioships w/ his cousins. They were not even close.

That's my point - his caste was well known, so he shouldn't have been invited. Dhrishtadyumna could have privately told him that he was welcome to watch the proceedings, but since Draupadi would only marry a kshatriya (no need to directly call him a suta even there), he wouldn't be allowed to actually participate.

Instead, Dhrishtadyumna did a roll call that included Karna in the list of participants. And his objective was having as big a list as possible.

This I agree to. He was called because he was the king of Ang and rejected because he was a Sut Putr. But one thing I never understood was why Karna was ashamed of his caste? Of his father's caste. He respected his father but not his profession. One can only feel insulted when they feel ashamed.

And who were not even close? The pandavas and the kauravas or Draupadi and her husbands?
