could Karna ever be friend of Bheem and Arjun if truth was revealed? - Page 3

Before VH -- probably! Would have depended on how Karna would react to it -- being Duryodhanas loyal ally -- would he want to become friends [because, brother he already was] with the Pandavas -- And if Yudhi decided to give IP to Karna -- Karna would have happily given it to Duryodhana -- not to mention Duryodhanas reaction would matter -- did he reallly care enough for Karna to forget abouthis enemity with the Pandavas so Karna could have his brothers -- or would he start thinknig of Karna as a Pandava and see him as a threat? or hate him for being related to bheem and arjuna and all the people he really hates? Arjuna could have forgotten his enmity with Karna before the VH because he was kind of aloof before that -- If Kunti and Yudhishtira are happy, well.

I voted yes, but there is one condition: such a revelation would have to happen either

• Before Duryodhan befriended Karna & made him Angaraj
• Before the game of dice, where Karna would have had the opportunity to return Anga, thank him and join the Pandavas, and make peace overtures similar to Yudisthir's

If Kunti made her confession after the first event, there is no way that Karna could have accepted it, w/o doing what's in the second point. If she made her confession after Draupadi's vh, no way could Bhima or Arjun have forgiven him: they'd still have hated him as much as they hated Duryodhan

this is most valid reply of all
karna was always insulted. if kunti stood up for her elder son karan would never be dury s friend
duyroydhan accepted karna where he faced at most humilation
he needed his true identy then
why didnt kunthi reaval the truth.
why did she reaveal truth to karna just before war and to others after karna s death
yudi curses his mother now onwards women will never able keep secret
so if truth was told in right tyme my answer would be yes

I once asked this in a poll here, but I actually think that had Duryodhan ever known that Karna was Kunti's son, he'd have disowned him in a second.

After all, Yudisthir made the same sort of overtures to Duryodhan as Karna did, but Duryodhan still hated him. He'd have hated Karna as well.

@vrish means even if Karna didn't join pandava family still dury would have ended their friendship?

oh then it would be not so good situation for karna, he had to be back to adhirath and radha and would have lived a life of charioteer

archu's story Karnabharath was right in this case i thought it destroyed duri-karna friendship

I think depending on when Kunti told them, Archu's Karnabharata may well have happened

no only Dury cutting connection to Karna only would happen , joining pandava would still b a question

Yes and Gradually.. IMO both Pandavas and Karna would understand that all these started with their own mother's fault so there is no point in maintaining their enemity.. this is irrespective of it being pre VH or post VH.. Draupadi was no one to accept or not accept..

u echoed my mind
