He is not the responsible person.. Remember he dint declare his parentage unless Kunti did.. so it was apparently Kunti's secret which he cant take a call on.. Till then Surya was Diety and Karna was devotee.. nothing else..

I remember the rule that arguments should be supported by citations.. so no purpose arguing on your assumptions..


I'd like a citation because the point was made by me :) If you don't mind that is.

Frappie.. You can simplify it further.. Had she not called for Surya and given birth to karna and floated him, Karna would have not attained glory.. Yeah Kunti is a great mother of Karna.. 👏 I salute her for doing this..

Well I really salute her for invoking Surya deva and I would never simplify it that way because it is her deeds that brought a person into the world and one of the greatest teachings of Krishna a person supporting adharm will have to fall come what may...

Haha, not entirely, Ramayana is an epic that teaches us to lead an ideal life, about our duties and our responsibilities towards our people. What Dharma really is and why it is necessary for us to follow it. Mahabharata is life, there is nothing you cannot learn from it. There is not a single instance you'd come across and say, Oh my, how improbable! Mahabharata teaches us about why people exist, how they exist, what decisions they make and what consequences they face.

Sorry which point you made, I dont remember.. This was the citation I was talking about..

"Hearing these words uttered by Vidura, who always wished her sons the accomplishment of their objects, Kunti began to sigh heavily, afflicted with grief, and began to think within herself, 'Fie to wealth, for the sake of which this great slaughter of kinsmen is about to take place. Indeed, in this war, they that are friends will sustain defeat. What can be a greater grief than this that the Pandavas, the Chedis, the Panchalas, and the Yadavas, assembled together, will fight with the Bharatas? Verily, I behold demerit in war. (On the other hand) if we do not fight, poverty and humiliation would be ours. As regards the person that is poor, even death is beneficial (to him). (On the other band) the extermination of one's kinsmen is not victory. As I reflect on this, my heart swelleth with sorrow. The grandsire (Bhishma), the son of Santanu, the preceptor (Drona), who is the foremost of warriors, and Karna, having embraced Duryodhana's side, enhance my fears. The preceptor Drona, it seemeth to me, will never fight willingly against his pupils. As regards the Grandsire, why will he not show some affection for the Pandavas? There is only this sinful Karna then, of deluded understanding and ever following the deluded lead of the wicked Duryodhana, that hateth the Pandavas. Obstinately pursuing that which injureth the Pandavas, this Karna is, again, very powerful. It is this which burneth me at present. Proceeding to gratify him. I will today disclose the truth and seek to draw his heart towards the Pandavas. Pleased with me, while I was living in the inner apartments of the palace of my father, Kuntibhoja, the holy Durvasa gave me a boon in the form of an invocation consisting of mantras. Long reflecting with a trembling heart on the strength or weakness of those mantras and the power also of the Brahmana's words, and in consequence also of my disposition as a woman, and my nature as a girl of unripe years, deliberating repeatedly and while guarded by a confidential nurse and surrounded by my waiting-maids, and thinking also of how not to incur any reproach, how to maintain the honour of my father, and how I myself might have an accession of good fortune without being guilty of any transgression, I, at last, remembered that Brahmana and bowed to him, and having obtained that mantras from excess of curiosity and from folly, I summoned, during my maidenhood, the god Surya. He, therefore, who was held in my womb during my maidenhood,--why should he not obey my words that are certainly acceptable and beneficial to his brothers? And reflecting in this strain, Kunti formed an excellent resolution. And having formed that resolution, she went to the sacred stream called after Bhagiratha."

I'm sorry, where here does she point out that she wants Karna dead?
