BTW, Draupadi raised a very good point today- something I've always wondered: if all the Pandavs had taken a pledge to participate in the war, then why was Bhima the only one fighting the main adharmi, Dury?

Granted, Bhima had taken a pledge to finish off Dury and the brothers wanted to honor that prann but when your brother is being beaten black and blue, struggling for his own life, shouldn't they've forgotten that personal pledge and intervened? All 4 of them watched helplessly

It was not a question of dharma-adharma at that moment as they had already used all kinds of means to kill other Kauravs.

I guess Draupadi got her answer- nothing had changed since DS. While they watched her helplessly in the DS, they did the same when Bhima was being pulverized.

It's just odd that the MB can be sometimes give such conflicting messages...

not sure about ⭐️bharat but in the epic only Bhima fights him since only Bhima had the slight chance of defeating dury in mace duel no other pandava could have done that.So it wasn't because of the oath but more because of the capability

So basically Yudi challenges Dury to kill any panadva in a mace duel and if dury will do that Yudi will concede defeat

Dury accepts the challenge and invites any pandav to come and fight with him and Bhima is selected because no one else could have defeated Dury

I loved 2 eyelocks today ..

1st of course between Vriku-Wifey after hitting thigh.. ☺️

2nd between Vriku-Krishna just before attacking Dury !! 😳 It is as if Kanha gave his consent to Vriku's silent permission .. 😊

And in⭐️Bharat, it's strange how Krishna himself actually chooses to honour a pran given to dau thus claiming to be "vivash".

He could've also lent a hand, no? Which is how it was in the epic.

After all, Krishna's yojanas (or chhals) were crucial in taking out the most powerful Kaurava warriors. And in the epic, Krishna does guide Arjun about the thigh-pat, thereby helping Bhima.

Exactly!! He sort of disregarded everyone's vow in ⭐️B, but his oath which would have made pandavas lose, was suddenly so important!! 😕

Suddenly the motive behind this war has changed to kill Duryodhan.
It became revenge of Panchali and writers made her to take all the blame... Earlier it was Dharma (which is beyond my small brain) ... But actually it was for land ...

Thanks for this post dear.
I guess i have been whining, grumbling, complaining n irritating everyone with this one point that the CVs have cleverly shifted the whole blame on Draupadi. Maybe the CVs thought that, anyway, she is believed to be the 'root cause for Kurukshetra'.
So, her image is already maligned in the minds of the general public...so then y destroy the saintly image of the Pandavas, especially Yudisthir by breaking that misconception? Let not the truth come out, that the war took place for land n throne...n let the age-old misconception of women being the cause for wars be re-established. 🤢

I so hate the CVs.

This is how the CVs are promoting 'Women Empowerment'... 🤢
