Aisa kuch nhi tha , just Yudi was more like her that's why I hate both 2 core

Kunti for what she did 2 karna & draupadi.

Yudi root cause of all problem of Pandavas & draupadi

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

Yes she is mentioned at the start as well

She was born along with the hundred out of the same flesh ball, they couldn't have omitted the fact there especially when the same girl has a part to play later

Here the birth method of even Uppandavas isn't mentioned, just a passing statement that all of them were born with their respective fathers' names. How do you expect daughters will be mentioned

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

They suffered a huge military loss on day 14, the war lasted for 4 days after it

Both sides lost a lot that day.

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

Well I remember a tale I read. It is said that while dying Duryodhan had three fingers raised upwards. So all are curious why it is so. Then Krishna comes and said I understood what to want to say. Duryodhan's regrets : 1. Not to build a fort around Hastinapur (I still didn't get why). 2. Not to make Vidur participate in war. 3. Not to make Ashwathama CIC instead of Karna. Then Krishna answered, 1. If he made fort, he would have ordered Nakuul to break the fort as he was an excellent horse racer and an excellent sword warrior. 2. If Vidur participated, Shri Krishna would have fought in war too. 3. If Ashwathama was made CIC, He would have made Yudhisthir angry as it is said that Yudhisthir's angry eyes could burn everything in his sight. After that Duryodhan lowered his fingers.

She deliberately divided draupadi in five not unknowingly coz all 5 Pandavas were attracted towards her & Yudi got d opportunity for mauke pe chauka maarne ke

Because she would be the only living heir of the Pandavas and hence play an important role in later inheritance Ie her sons. Which she did by Vajra if we consider Vajra is her son?

Dushala is mentioned as a name while there's not a single mention of Suthanu. Forget name but when they mention drau's children why not say 5 sons and "daughters" this one word. It's not like having daughters is bad or something and also it's a retelling to how come everyone missed out on her if she genuinely existed. Like harivamsa is surely a later addition no?

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

No I don't think he knew neither did Karna tell Dury about it.

That's what I said Karna was an emotional decision. He shouldn't have been selected over Ashwathama (in fact even Shalya)
