Hi,
Superb analysis. You have drawn the parallels quite beautifully.Both Munj and Mrinal wants the crown for their siblings. Have they really thought about the consequences?Yes, Munj does not wishes to become a king, but want his brother's love. But has he understood his brother? Or is he seeing the good in the everyone, like the romantic that he is? Yes he is being selfless. But has he thought about his beloved Malwa and what will become of it without his guidance?The chance he has given to his brother would be Malwa's and Munj's undoing.Bhishma too left the crown for his father's happiness. What a great cost he and his Hastinapur had to pay for that!What is important? Personal Dharma or the Good of the people? Eternal question, isn't it?And Mrinal is forcing her brother to become a king. What does Tailap wants? He probably wants to live a simple life with his Kosha. An ineffective and disinterested king is as bad as an evil one. Mrinal is so focused on her revenge as a daughter, as a sister, as a child, that she has forgotten that she is a princess. Has she thought about her subjects?Shikhandi too wanted her revenge for her past life as Amba. What kind of life did she lead? Her entire life wasted for one moment of revenge.What is important? Revenge or the good of the people? Question to ponder!LoveKshithi
