thanks 4 responding 🤗
ok u say there r glaring mistakes of d pandavas..bt 4 thr every mistake they hv equally added a justification
1.bheesma abducts d 3 princes n gets cursed that 1day he wd die at d hands of sikhandi.that means bringing shikandi n winning is justifyd here.
2.kunti out of curiosity to test d boon has karna..being unmarried cannot keep him..so kunti is excused here.
3.drupad says whoever hits d fish eye wins draupadi bt he didnt say this n that ppl r nt allowed to participate..so sdnt d rules hv been laid down?when thr was clearly no restriction bt only dependent on ability quality or archery competition hw cd karna b prevented?so hw do they make justification?that draupadi herself reject karna bcoz of caste.she cd allow sadhu baba to hit target bt nt karna.😲
4.they justify drona being killed that fashion as abhimanyu too was killed in that manner that means tricks.
5.karna is justified to lose as he sided with duri
6.yudi is justified to gamble as a khatriya can not refuse war n a game of challenge.
everywhr pandavas r justified they hv sum reason of validity of thr actions.
dnt get me wrong..i am nt saying that this is what happened..nor am i with kauravas..bt as d question was what u find fascinating..so i am citing d possibilitys..its so strange to bliv that bheesma vidhur all wd b silent n wrong pandavas..i am nt questioning character..i am pondering over possibilitys..i am nt saying duri social reformist 😆..i am saying what if karna bcam d king hw wd hv d equations turn out to be then?coz clearly duri n karna were amazing frnds..may b d war cd hv been avoided if krishna who gives ghyan to all just as well thot of giving bit gyan to kunti n coax her to accept karna..then perhaps karna cd hv been alive n so wd hv my poor abhimanyu n sweet ghatotkach..thats all..this is all i wish to say..i mean sab ko gyan denewala gyani baba krishna forgot to give gyan to kunti to tell truth n make karna d king n let live all others happily ever after?😲
that it is a story apended n amended by many a hands is evidently clear as thr r so many conflicts n contradictions..it stands out as every person's character cause of action n reaction can be reanalysed n retold ..
d mahabharat tells of modern india..it is 4m mahabharat that disrespect of women is shown openly..right 4m bheesmas abducting d 3 princes 4 his worthles qualityles drunkard bro..next mahabharat shows ghandari being forced to marry a blind vain dhriti...next cum pandu marrying madri n hurting kunti..n lastly draupadis VH by kauravas..so d demonic rituals of violence against women starts right 4m mahabharat n continues..thats y mahabharat is still relevant ..we relive every day of horror of that age even today..so evn tho it has few glitches in story telling bt its a classic as we relive every moment of oppression..like karna we face social discrimination..like yudi we encounter addicts..like abhimanyu we get dutiful sons..like bheesma we find an elder strong yet weak in heart..its d exploration of human emotions which attracts us..thats all i wish to say.😊
