I don't think so. Them being negative people doesn't mean that they can not have even one good thing in them

I do think they genuinely had feelings for each other. Else Duryodhan would not have accepted Bheeshm's order to not allow Karna on battlefield. Unlike what is said, Duryodhan not always accepted what Bheeshm said and that wasn't necessary this time too.

Plus I don't think that by MB war he wouldn't have realised that Karna is not a proper match for Arjun if it was only for mutual benefit, he would have rejected or discarded him by then

Karan was glorified? By whom?

He was always insulted. Kunti left him, Pandavas made fun of him being soot putra, Draupadi insulted him during swayamvar, Drona refused to teach him, Kunti didn't accept him as her elder son. He learnt shanur vidya on his own. His parents also left him.

It was only Duryodhan who offered him friendship & didn't insult him. He gave up dharma for loyalty towards his friend.

If Krishna had not supported Arjun he would not have been able to defeat karan on his own. Arjun was never the best. Eklavya & Karan were better than him.

Please go through this thread, there is enough proof given through out this thread regarding all of this being wrong along with correct incidents.

Please do not believe TV shows.

Duryodhan definitely accepted him in the beginning because he thought he could be a good bet against Arjun, and not to protect him from caste oppression or out of pity or kindness.

Also, he had same distaste for Arjun as he did, so mutual dislike made friends. That's the reason for their friendship.

After that, I think it was genuine friendship because Duryodhan was not dumb, he knew Karn was no match for Arjun yet he didn't let go of him. However, Karn might have only been with Duryodhan because he was the one who gave him the kingdom. Also, the main point was anyone who was against Arjun was godly for Karna.

I don't think all of them were hers tbh thought the trxt says that i would say that there were more than one gandhari because gandhari is just a title and not the actual like drapaudi/panchali are titles while krishnaa is drapaudi s actual name. So i would like to believe that there more than one gandhari and maybe some kids also belonged to concubines who the main wife of dritrashtra adopted

Either there were many Gandharis or it is a case of test tube babies. There's a description of how the Kauravas were born out of one ball of meat I guess, so if we go by that I think they were test tube babies.

Actually, yes they are all test tube babies.

Her vardaan was actually abhsiaap for her, be careful of what you wish for!

I don't understand the logic behind this kind of a vardaan either. Women are human beings not children producing machines. 🤣

Really. That pretty amazing though i don't know how did they go about with this. Was science really that developed. My pessimistic sides does not let me believe this theory. Nevertheless 100 kids is bit too much. 😆

I would not believe it either but the description seems that way unless we consider it an interpolation. 😆

Well we can't say they didn't know even basics of science back then

I am sure they knew basic science. But still i still don't buy the test tube baby thingy.
