i generally agree with what i think you are trying to save even you are saying that she went to karna to protect her sons and through them dharma but karna was not her prime concern even i am saying that

i don't blame her for calling him sinful she had her reasons to think him to be sinful but what mine and diala's point was when she went to karna she wasn't concerned about his life but the life of her 5 son's only and then she emotionally blackmailed him by saying i am your mother its your duty to do what is agreeable to me so that he doesn't harm her sons'

again please understand i am not blaming her for this a mother would do anything to save her children even greatest mother's in the world become selfish when it comes to her own children i know if some day i become a mother i would do anything to save them as well.So as pandavs mother i dont blame her at all

but as karna's mother the emotional blackmail she did to him was unfair to him

Oh but she is! Yes she was afraid for her five sons because she feared they'd be gravely injured by the three great warriors on Duryodhan's side. She calls him sinful, meaning she knew he was not following the righteous path, as a mother she did have doubts in her mind, but do you really think she didn't have a hunch he was going to die if he were to fight for the Kauravas?

If she didn't care, why did she clutch onto his corpse and cry her eyes out after his death? Why THEN, did she reveal to her sons who Karna really was? She should have kept her mouth shut then too if she didn't give a damn about her first born, right?

She thinks about her sinful son. A son who, by serving Duryodhan was following Adharma. I'm saying, didn't she know justice would be prevailed. Everybody knows that. Do you think that somewhere deep down she couldn't have known that because Karna committed certain sins in his life, he'd be punished for them? Why are we unable to read between the lines, her desperation to save, not just her sons, but Dharma in general is what I can see in that paragraph. And if Karna were to see that, he could have been saved as well. But he was bound by a word he gave his friend and he considered that his dharma. Her thoughts were audible, but her intentions weren't, which is why we tend to get confused. Look, I'm not a fan of what she did to Karna, but some of her actions are justified.

@Diala what is wrong in morally weakening him if that would only do good to him? I dont care about citations, whatever Kunti said is correct.

Why do you bring Dharma in now? It is not gonna help if you argue on your assumption that she wanted Karna to be saved when the citations clearly prove otherwise..

well if she is thinking about dharma then why does she want to bring her sinful adharmi son under dharam's protection wont she want her sinful adharmi son do die for dharma's protection

one cant have it both ways say she is doing this for dharma yet wants to protect her adharmi son
