||All the righteous men wronged a woman :~(||

Ok hi everyone n am not here to create any controversy.. 😛

DISCLAIMER:plz read this post very patiently and try to understand me,this post is not made to demean any character... 😛 as a woman,this is my point of view about a woman's insult.plz read this from a woman's perspective.

Many many years ago there lived many righteous men in dwapar yuga.they were known as the great warriors,the emblem of morality yet they failed a woman so miserably.The great bheeshma,dronacharya,vidura,karna,yudhishtira,bhima,Arjuna,nakula,sahadeva all known for their valour,dedication towards their duty/"DHARMA'',their morality but still wronged a woman in a way which was pathetic.
All these men were great,but did they believed that "A woman is not a doormat????" Not a public property,Not a "THING" to be disrespected,used???a question which often comes to my mind after thinking about vastraharan is that,whether they really respected a woman or not?just think people,what would have happened if draupadi would have really been disrobed?what if no one would have helped her?Yes,I do agree draupadi was a very strong woman,but would she have been able to LIVE again if she would have been disrobed?which punishment was she getting?she never called "a blind man's son is also blind"Infact it was her husbands except yudhishtira who laughed on duryodhan.so why was she getting punishment ??first of all bhim,Arjun,nakul,sahadev laughed but draupadi was dragged.all fault was theirs but none of the pandavas cared to stop dushasaan.

YUDHISHTIRA,gambled away his own wife...And didn't even cared to stand up for her even once...where was the DHARAMRAJ that day???

BHEEMSEN,yes did protested for his wife but eventually choosed his brother over his wife.didn't cared about the safety and honour of his wife...where was the MIGHTY Bheem that day??

ARJUNA,just silently watched his wife being gambled by his brother,being dragged like an animal in front of his family elders and choosed his brother over his own wife...where was the HRIDAY KA ATI KOMAL Arjun that day??

NAKULA & SAHADEVA,were quiet and just watched whatever was happening with a helpless woman,their wife...where were the POWERFUL & RIGHTEOUS sons of Madri that day?


KARNA,wasn't quiet but instead was abusing a helpless woman n provoking a man to disrobe a woman infront of her husbands and elders...where was the man who always had compassion for everyone,where was the DANVEER that day???

BHISHMA,was quiet very quiet n was letting everything happen...where was the RIGHTEOUS son of goddess Ganga that day??

VIDURA,was quietly watching the drama of a woman being disrobed...Where was the man who was always known for his courage to speak the TRUTH???

DRONACHARYA,was seeing his friend's daughter being disrobed...Now where was the GURU???

I always wonder,that what might be the reason that all these GREAT PEOPLE didn't even said a word that day??was it their duty,dharma,or their helplessness????BUT I believe that there cannot be any damn reason to see a woman being disrobed in front of so many people.
Whatever we say to defend them but yes vastraharan proves that they were not so great,if we see all this from a woman's perspective.The five pandavas may be the Heros of mahabharat but directly or indirectly they were also the villain of a woman's life.
And all this don't end here...there are many over smart people who claim that draupadi is a b****,wh***, b'coz she married 5 men and rejected karna.Not only this but draupadi is also known as a kritya~a woman responsible for the downfall of her family n also I found something more"ATI KESHA PATI NASHA~a woman wid long hairs destroys her husband,like really???i say if you have SuCh righteous men as your husbands n relatives then your life is destroyed.i don't understand why people hate draupadi without any proper knowledge?and always judge her character??if she wasn't a nice woman then why did god helped her???why don't people judge pandavas?n why is it so that if a woman have more than one husband she is considered to be a wh*** whereas if a man have more than one wife he is considered to be handsome,charming????
Now I'm really sorry if I crossed any limit.but I'm sorry I couldn't resist my self from posting this b'coz today I was abused and I was said that even I'm a bit** n wh**e b'coz I support draupadi
😡
Now I have one last message for all the draupadi haters,
"Love her or hate her,she will always be there on your mind..."

And draupadi,whatever you did wasn't only commendable but also phenomenal.you were the lady who dared to fight against all the odds n norms n demand respect for yourself.Hats off to you... 👏

All the righteous men you've mention and have wronged Draupadi also paid a price!!

You are right dear even I sometimes think that what would have happened if she would have been disrobed that day her complete life would have been destroyed. It was really heart wrenching that the people famed for their Dharmagyan didn't held her either. Think if she would have been disrobed then do you think even the war could be a true revenge? I have always said that before the Pandavs had the relation with her as her husbands they had the relation of humanity and humanity and protecting humanity itself is the biggest Dharma.

Every single one of the men paid dearly for it in the end. They died a painful death and / or had to cause the destruction of their line

True Draupadi waited years for justice to be prevailed, so moral of the story, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!!

Dear I know that you are right but it doesn't mean that those men didn't respect women but they were tied to their personal Dharmas which I think is equal to Adharma itself.

You know ..this VH episode always remind me of dialogue said in that episode.. Uss sabah mein draupadi nirvastra nahi hui..balki baki sab nirvastra hue...

Good Post!

Here am going to put in a different perspective, am not here to advocate anyone because I know their mistake was grave and I always wonder how could Draupadi forgive her husbands for not standing up for her!!!

Each men there was flawed character not perfect! And they being a flawed human made the gravest mistake ever, the reason is the social back ground of that time, their ego, their pride. Yudhisthir was way too proud of his "Dharma" and that itself made him do an adharma. Pandavas were tricked by their "dharma", in course to protect their ego, personal dharma and principles they forgot about the individuality of someone else. They forgot about the right and freedom of Panchali!

Everyone there was bound by their flaw! Bheeshma's mistake was his standing by the vow! When things went wrong he should have stood for right instead of obeying the King as per his Vow!

Talking about Karna! Yes Karna did call her w**** which was not at all right, but his calling her that had nothing to do with respecting a woman. That should be looked in personal angle. Karna was a man who received nothing but injustice from the world including Draupadi, he never was given a fair chance. So putting yourself into his shoes and think, he might not have intended but would have said out of his dislike and anger. It was not right! Yes I agree but then he is a human with flaw. Am sorry if I went too much about Karna, that is because every time I come across people who dislike him for calling Draupadi w**** and make it an unforgivable mistake while they can forgive Yudhisthir for staking her! It never makes me sense! (sorry for going off topic)

Coming back to your post! I believe Mahabharata is to show us what is right and what is wrong which people misunderstood and came up hating draupadi.. It always irritates and angers me when I come across people making jokes about Draupadi. When Krishna saved her it was a message said to people that one must not consider their wife as a property on which they have right and it also said a message that people for the good and right can give away their principles and Dharma. But sadly many failed to see through it and instead saw Panchali as the reason for the destructive war.

Draupadi is my fav character from the epic! She represents what a woman should be, strong and fierce. Am sure she would not have let anyone disrobe her even if Krishna wouldn't have come for her rescue. That strong and fierce she is! And another personal message I take from Mahabharatha is that even when your husband/s and family won't be there for you, your friend will be there to protect you always!

I don't know whether I went off topic, I want to say lot of things but not able to figure out how to put in everything. Something I think is that during those days, the mentality of people never gave woman equal status and she must have been the prey of many things! And through MB one is thought what is right and what is wrong but very sadly people today misread them and have hated Panchali!

PS: am not happy with my reply..

You kind of echoed my views gayatri.. Somethings I cant say openly here...You kind of put forward those views better. Karna is my favorite character from the epic and I can scream about that and also people can judge me from that..but at the same time.. I know he was wrong that day... but then so were others too...

Yes He was wrong then but that attributed to society and situation which he was in.. but i never justify his wrong then..for me Karna only did one mistake in his life and that was his participation here.

i have read many versions /arguments here on that but never kind of openly said my feelings.. Coz I too love draupadi's character . She kind of bring out feminist in me somewhere.. Whatever happened to her that day was as I said Ugliest face of the society existing.. A husband goes on to stake his wife.. and while other husbands just stare helplessly.. whatever it was - even they were not following their dharma..Probably all of them in some way or another got their dues in the end... Some died.. Some lived in regret..

Sadly just a yug before that Sita had to give agni pariksha ...a yug later draupadi dragged in for VH and a yug after that... things look much worser... isnt it.. You said mentality of those men never gave woman equal status..look around now there is a lot of things to be done still... Sometimes I feel we are still in that era...or perhaps has more degenerated in thoughts.

@TM - really sad to read comments towards you. I believe this virtual place gives a mask to people and they kind of cross their lines with it.
