It's not just a story
Well I am sure in future generation Harry Potter or our Mahatma Gandhi may be treated as God and even today there are many believer for both. If we objectively look at Mahabharat then we will notice that it just preached the concepts that were followed by generation afterwards or generation afterwards got a life direction providing book. Gita Gyan being it's biggest outcome.
I don't wish to challenge belief but lot of points in this book are unbelievable:
1) Ghandhari 100 sons?? Yudhistir was 44 years when battle happened how can Ghandhari give birth to 100 sons, (ready to fight with age more than 16 years, Abhimanyu youngest warrior was 16)? Hope no magic pot story as Uttara son was in womb and process of birth has not changed
2) Pandav birth story
3) Sun God in modern context (for that matter Indra, wind etc)
4) Sometime with no of gang rape stories i.e nirbhaya, mumbai etc & number of people sleeping on streets/platforms currently in media circulation, wonder if old time adharm was higher than in current modern world? Wonder why God is not taking incarnation now. Or if he waiting to wage world war 3
5) Was Pandhav pain of losing parikshit more than army parents losing their single son for nation? How many family would have lost their next generation in the war if had happened
6) Dhronacharya taking eklayva thumb in name of kingdom, is their any worse example of duru dakshina? It's worst punishment ever a teacher can give. May be writter was a teacher himself and wanted to project for superiority of teacher position and better remuneration for teacher. We are fighting for 6 year old Rhea in bangalore and teacher status has changed to pathetic level in society.
These are just my thinking and makes me believe it's a story. If you search web than you will find some people justifying how some of this could have happened. However the reason we need justification is enough to say Mahabharat is a story written by winner to trash opponents and say good thing about winners.
Also no one knows if Gita Gyan is true or someone imagination. Do people really have next birth or ...
