First time I cried for Duryadhan

After watching today's episode I've been compelled to make this post..it's my first ever topic in this Mahabharata forum. I got so many feeling today, first of these is about Duryadhan. He's the most unfortunate brother in the epic..he had to see n bear all the pains alone. His parents couldn't get to see..lucky they are! Today after watching so many deaths, specially death of his fav brother Dushsan he must have also wished to be a blind like his parents! :'( First time i felt sorry for him. I know many of you will say he doesn't deserve a little drop of tears or sympathy..but after all we r humans.. the next thing ,what I had felt beforehand n today it just became stronger , is among all the five pandavas Bheem is the one who genuinely loves Panchali and of course loves her most! In fact he's the only one who took revenge for her. Neither her brother nor her father or other hubbies did. Only Bheem was the real lover of Draupadi. :) He fulfilled his promise, did the righteous job a husband should do for his wife.. He even became inhuman to do so. share what you feel..I'll be happy to know. :)

ofcourse ;today s episode was so difficult to watch for us then naturally imagine what duryodhan had to go through.But he is responsible for it.

yeah the epi content was violent but it is their own doing. it's their karma and duryodhan was indeed responsible for this blood bath .

Yes dear..even I felt the same.. Although he himself was responsible for his misfortune.. I even felt bad for Dushi.. Today's episode was really unbearable.. Actually, this death proved who was the most unfortunate people in the epic.. It was definitely the two groups of cousins. Cousins have some of the best bonding in family.. They are so close to each other.. Brothers.. The Pandavs nd Kauravs cud also have been the same..the best of brothers.. But... This really brings tears to my eyes.

Somehow I never hate Dury! He suffered greatly today but that is what you call Karma!

i cdnt watch 2daz epi as it ws so bloody 🤢

I guess it was payback day!!

Draupadi's Vastraharan was far more brutal than it was shown in the serial, in my opinion.

In the serial, she was only dragged with cruelty...

Whereas, in the epic, she was dragged like that, in a single piece of cloth, wrapped around her body...

She was not even properly dressed...she was in her season...her dress was stained in blood from her season. In that condition, with clothes almost slipping away, she was dragged by her hair, to a court full of men.

Even today, we women, tend to be careful about our clothings, in our season.

Just imagine, what it was like for Draupadi, at that age, to be dragged in front of in-laws, outsiders, servants, etc, half-dressed, and stained in blood...

So, no I feel no sympathy for Dushasen or Duryodhan.

But there is one thing, that I would like to say.

Throne, power, greed, ego, etc ruin everything.

The Pandavas and the Kauravas could have been friendly, but all got ruined bcoz of this LAND and THRONE.

Power destroys people, and make them do horrible things.

And JustMySelf, yes Bhima loved Draupadi a lot. But he did marry another woman named Valandhara. 😭

And Pandu was married off to Madri, by Bhishma.

The marriage was arranged by Bhishm.

Reason was Kunti's inability to conceive, although it was Pandu, who was impotent.

I hope, I am factually right.

Though Duryodhan brought this situation upon himself, it was sad to his fav brother killed. Its all karma.

JustMySelf,

Yes, this story is there in Mahaprasthan parva of the epic.
