Was watching Shri Krishna MB, ughhh. Why all TV serials try to make Draupadi's VH justified 🙄🙄.


I mean though she didn't say the famous dialogue of BRC,but she was definitely hinting the thing.

Arjun was not just for swyamvar . He was imp because he was their main warrior. he was also imp because of his proximity to krishna. for krishna he was most important and the whole geeta gyan was given through him. i feel krishna is the main protagonist not yudi

Krishna was definitely a protagonist. But Yudi was indeed. The epic ends with his win over anger, attachment and all the human qualities when he went to Swarg with his body.

He did go to hell but for sometime due to the lie he said. I think during the thirteen year exile he did penance for which the sins were washed away..

Protagonist

Krishna

Arjun

Draupadi

Bheem

Yudishtra

Abhimanyu(w/o him breaking chakravyu and turn the war to pandavas was impossible)


Antagonist

Duryodhan

Karna

Dushasan


That is an individual choice list and appreciated one, but per epic per say, it's not so. The epic os definitely about the Jaya of Yudhishtir+Draupadi and Parajay of Duryodhan, so these three are the Central characters. Yudhishtir+Draupadi the protagonist and Duryodhan the antagonist

Karna and Arjun could be called the second leads from their respective sides, followed by Bheem Krishna and Shakuni Dusshashan (although I don't think he was that important, yet he can't be ignored)

Bheeshm being the patriarch/overseer and the common point was another pillar of the epic

Excluding them, the other characters did contribute a lot, had enough importance but were not as important and necessary as these ten.

@Abhimanyu was a great warrior no doubt, in fact was perhaps the best in there, but his major contribution to war was his death, since that made Arjun brutal and hard, before them he was playing light on his relatives/friends.

His entry into the Chakravyu and the performance there might be of great courage and valour but wasn't of much support to the Pandavas, it didn't help much from the war results per say

Actually that's not true on contray yudhishtra was the only one who went to hell first where he discarded his body and then his soul went to heaven. He went to hell in human body not heaven -

Then Yudhishthira ascending to heaven felt much pain. The celestial messenger showed him hell by an act of deception. Then Yudhishthira, the soul of justice, heard the heart-rending lamentations of his brothers abiding in that region under the discipline of Yama. Then Dharma and Indra showed Yudhishthira the region appointed for sinners. Then Yudhishthira, after leaving the human body by a plunge in the celestial Ganges, attained to that region which his acts merited, and began to live in joy respected by Indra and all other gods. This is the eighteenth Parva as narrated by the illustrious Vyasa. The number of slokas composed, O ascetics, by the great Rishi in this is two hundred and nine.
