I know he did. What DeepikaGupta was saying was Panchali knew about it.

What I'm saying is Bheema's statement clearly says this was the first time it happened.

That Panchali even knew human staking happened was when pratikami went to her.

I don't think Panchali needs absolution for a crime she didn't commit.

Yudhishtira's crime is not Panchali's.

There is a difference between dancing girls and slave girls

Dancing girls are not slaves they are like "keeps" of the master, but they aren't slaves

Slaves by definition is a part of the property. They weren't considered any better than animals, in fact to think they would have valued a pet elephant more than a slave

If Yudhishtir was addicted to gambling then there is no reason to believe he wouldn't have staked slaves

^^^ I think even Twins did have close bonding but it wasn't like all five were each others' top priority or first love like it is portrayed today

Twins are always together, so they must have been closer, but they didn't speak to each other about their feelings, unless they loved Yudi or Kunti and harbored nothing against Yudi

I am sure they would have spoken against Yudi, just that Vyas did feel the need to share it with us

Untrue. The first Panchali heard about the human staking was when Pratikami went to her. In fact, one of the things Bheema says in dice hall is "we don't even stake dancing girls, and here you staked your wife."

if you have citation which proves otherwise, please provide.

If you simply mean they had slaves... yes, they did. Just like Krishna who donated slave girls on wedding of Arjuna and Subhadra.

I honestly don't understand your antipathy toward Panchali. She was an awesome force by all accounts, a role model. Also, being an Arjuna-Subhadra shipper as you clearly are is fine, but why throw false accusations at a woman who is not here to defend herself? Putting it like that only because you say you believe in divine interp.

If it is any consolation to you, Panchali really did not seem to have cared that much for Arjuna after the initial liking which was probably because she was young and naive. There is in fact a retelling called Parva (by Bhyrappa) where Panchali says Arjuna was the crush of a young girl while Bheema is the love of a grown woman who knows what she wants.

So yeah... Subhadra probably had Arjuna to herself since Panchali didn't seem to give a d**n.

From where subhadra or arjun came from here .

I don't see her Draupadi a mahan character , I see her as grey character . U see her as mahan character & others r idiot good for nothing .

I not blaming Draupadi , she was very well aware of Yudi's all activities including his addiction. She was very well aware what was happening in whole kingdom .

Lord krishna donated slave grls not staked them like Yudi

Now as u have dragged Subhadra unnecessary , started calling me a hater , thou I admit I don't like Draupadi but they doesn't mean I hate her , it does matter what u think for me, it will not stop me writing my views.

Yes, Nakul would have stopped Sahdev and Vice Versa like Arjuna and Bhima

Twins were followers of yudi

Slavery was very much an accepted norm. Slaves were as much a part of the property as jewels. They was a status symbol, fun elements, punching bags etc. Why would Yudhishtir or anyone has any issues with slavery?

Gambling wasn't a crime either. It was a fun task

There is no reason why Yudhishtir or Draupadi should have objections to it

But staking the freedom of a independent woman, a wife just for the addiction of gambling is something which wasnt acceptable

About being Better. Well I wouldn't say about the below four, but Yudhishtir was in no Better to Kauravas

Thanks for clearing, vaise I always feel bheem & arjun had more quality to be king then yudi

All 4 followed Yudi

It was decided that they'll follow him to death, I blame Kunti for this

To be very true Pandavas loved Yudi more Draupadi , it was proved in dice game when no one objected Yudi for staking Draupadi, well adharma raj Yudi never asked anyone.

I guess when Draupadi was dragged in dice hall she asked this question to other 4 brother.

I can't say much about bheem coz as much I understood him , he used to think from his heart more than brain,

for arjun had weakness , he was always afraid of doing crime or sin , when he had doubt on himself then he use to consult yudhishthira for it.
