Yeah

So chup chap sona was in Kaurava's favor that night, they suffered a huge loss in day and continued fighting at night, their CIC was dumb AF

Drona actually went mad by that time. He died in the next day only 😪.

SP Mahabharata had Subhadra pregnant with Abhi during Dyut Sabha, Inka to Chandra dev bhi ghai me hai

Chandra Dev - Aisa rendition ke liye my son will stay on earth only for 13 years

Other UpaPandavas are understandable, how did they show Arjuna's son?

You mean Shrutakarma?

They could have shown Prativindhya atleast. I mean I read he was the crown Prince and might have quite grown up by the time of Dyut Sabha.

No

Rules stated that they won't fight after Sunset, If kauravas had retreated to their camps, what would have changed?

The end Shankhnaad needs to be done by both CICs I don't think we could blame only Kauravas for it.

I don't think it was intentional, just the sun rose after the eclipse, they continue fighting and then just continued

Dushala is mentioned because she was the wife of Jaidrath not because she was a Kuru daughter.

Just think of it, Dushala was not mentioned, we have Pandavas capturing Jaidrath in Vana Parva and Yudhishtir saying let's leave him alive else Dushhala will feel bad, what would we make of it??

Had Jaidrath not done what he did probably Dusshala would have been ignored too.

Suthanu or Bhanu serves no functions just as Lakshmana and Samb so they are not mentioned.

Many characters serve to funtions 🤣 I mean if this is an account of events then they should be mentioned no? I don't consider it history completely but considering it is i am saying this.

Isn't Dushala's birth mentioned when Kauravas were born?

"Vaisampayana continued, 'That ball of flesh then, sprinkled over with

p. 242

water, became, in time, divided into a hundred and one parts, each about the size of the thumb. These were then put into those pots full of clarified butter that had been placed at a concealed spot and were watched with care. The illustrious Vyasa then said unto the daughter of Suvala that she should open the covers of the pots after full two years. And having said this and made these arrangements, the wise Dwaipayana went to the Himavat mountains for devoting himself to asceticism.

Then, O king, within a month, were born a full hundred sons unto Dhritarashtra and a daughter also in excess of this hundred.

If she was mentioned only to be Jayadrath's wife, then why not mention when Jayadrath is mentioned saying wife of him was sister to Duryodhan hence sindhu supported kauravas.

Her birth is mentioned so I don't think Suthanu was ignored because she was a girl. Moreover, Upapandavas serve no purpose too. No harm in adding a line (like dushala citation above) Stating daughters were also born. Besides her son would play an important role in inheritance and if she is married to Bhanu that's an alliance as well

By the way would the things change had Ashwathama been made the CIC after Drona??

Not just that he was better than Karna but he was also filled with rage by the deceit killing his father.

I think Duryodhan naming Karna as CIC was more of an emotional decision than tactical

After killing jayadrath the fight continued till late night, Ghato died at night after sunset, it was the first time war was fought after sunset

I know i thought the sun setting bit was significant because of the Jayadrath vadh and Arjun's oath so focused on that. Jayadrath would still die though is what i mean.

Just the general vibe that Kunti liked Arjun less than her other sons unlike how this show shows kunti arjun to be rhe dearest of relationships 😆

Why is that?

Also Dury was not aware of his promise to Kunti, or was he?

If he was and still chose Karna it's a dumb decision but i guess he wasn't and he trusted Karna more than anything. Ashthama however would most probably do the Brahmastra blunder in war only
