@Krishnaa Mam Exactly. MB war was not for her vengeance but rather her vengeance was a consequence of the war. Like a bonus. The simple fact that the Pandavas were ready to settle for 5 villages proves it and again I agree that she was not the least bit dishonored that day. The only people who were actually dishonored are the ones who assaulted her and the ones who silently watched it. Today Panchaali is remembered as the woman who stood up for herself in the most dire consequences and the ones who supposedly "dishonored" her as the villains. It is evident that whose honor was lost that day.

People,

See I'm not defending him for the staking part (though I can, I am researching on that topic now)
But let me see that we can't judge a man whose life is 18 parva long with only one day's activity. Only one day's fault (please remember that he repented for it too) cannot tell us the summery of whole character. For example, if I take Karna's insult to Draupadi in dice hall as ultimate of his nature & totally remove his good sides, then what will it look like?

Ah but that one day's fault had such long ranging repercussions!

Yes I agree that one action cannot determine a man's nature. Nor do I perceive him as the Villain of the entire epic. But I cannot agree that he was entirely faultless and perfect. He was a human too as were all others in the epic and Humans make mistakes. You don't like/love a character or a person because they're entirely faultless. You love them despite their flaws.

Some people make mistakes and then others make Mistakes with a capital M😊. Everybody needs a chance at redemption, but some actions have such dire consequences that it becomes hard, not impossible tho.

That is pity, for which they deserve sympathy. Sometimes it is also possible that a man did not want to harm anyone but for his deeds everybody suffered, just imagine the man's ill fate!

It was nice discussing with you people. Thank you Krishnaa mam for coming and answering our queries. Also I want apologize to Urmila or anybody else who sentiments I may have offended. I meant no disrespect. I know how protective one can get for their fav characters 😆 I hope this thread remains open and we can have such discussions again. Good night! and Thanks 😃
