But would not insulting Panchali infuriate Krishna and the Panchalas even more?

If she was just kept as hostage then no one could put a finger on Kauravas. Duryodhan could continue being the emperor in peace.

Duryodhan or even Yudhishtira wasn't an emperor back then.

They were simple monarchs

And how could they keep an independent lady as hostage, that would have been highly disrespected in the society

Shw would've. Karna made it clear. She just wouldn't have been assaulted in open court.

But making a married woman a mistress....Would not that work against Kauravas if Panchala declared an war against Kauravas?

The assault happened only because Panchali refused to accept she was a slave. It wasn't planned.

The Kauravas and Karna basically got desperate.

They would have assaulted her sooner or later even if she wouldn't have objected

She wasn't called to the amphitheater just for nothing

Her resistance only expedited the action

Dasi belonged to the master to husband especially when husband was himself a Das he had no right on wife(the point that Draupadi had put)

What is the difference between Emperor and Monarch?

No I did not mean keeping independent Draupadi as hostage. I meant after Yudhisthira lost Draupadi they could have simply held her captive, like Kansa kept Ugrasena and Devaki. Sexual assault does not give political plus points.

"Dasi belonged to the master to husband"---is there any example of this?

And if Dasi belonged to the master to husband then there was no need for Shakuni to ask Yudhisthir to stake her. In that case, She could not have rallied support against Kauravas anyway.

Monarch is an independent kind (Maharaja) who isn't a vassal to someone.

Emperor (Samrat) is someone who is ruling over a good number of kings and states are under him

Like British King was an emperor earlier but is now an emperor

I think Kauravas were never of that opinion else they would have held Kunti captive for similar results. Either this was not possible or else they didn't want to take that route

I mean Dasi belonged to master rather than to husband

Typing error sorry

See, if she agreed, it would've been a diff story. They could point to her agreement.

Was Jarasandha aiming to be an emperor?
