As per Hindu rituals the "Saat Phere" or the seven vows are actually taken by a man to protect his wife's honour. That is Dharma. As per Mahabharat even stalwarts like Bheeshm or Dronacharya or Kripacharya didnt protest during this despicable incident...so in the true sense can they actually be called "Gurus". Many excuses can be put forth like...Bheeshm had vowed to protect the throne of Hastinapur...so on and so forth...but does that actually mean that you will be a silent spectator to such a shameful act...where somebody is trying to disrobe a woman (forget about all the relations)...its pathetic and disgusting
Hi Priya, i am new to this forum.
But yes, this question is haunting me too and trust me i am not able to sleep properly since the dice game began since i know the story.
How on earth can everyone sit and watch such shameful act in name of rules for game.
How could Bhisma not stop it. Hw could have if he wanted. How could he be quiet when his putravadhu's respect is at stake.
When Draupadi was insulted when she comes to Hastinapur for the first time. Arjuna takes his weapon. so would they not say he is not wrong in doing so, as he was protecting the putravadhu of hastinapur.
How could vidur just see and not speak.
How on earth can 5 brave husband who could get world down sit and watch thier wife dragged and even disrobe.
If Yudi is quiet, how could Arjuna/bheema and others see it. what Dharma is it see thier wife., forget wife any women being dishonoured to such a level.
Isnt seeing Adharm and not doing anything a bigger Adharma
I feel in this instance, yudi was selfish. He only thought about his words and his image and not about Draupadi. He could have broken his promise or rules for that game and did penance later.
