I think the most inspiring character of Mahabharat is "Karna".I find him more interesting and real than any other character.Karna was known for his loyalty,honestly and courage and his true friendship with duryodhan but all his life he suffered because of his caste.May be he knew that duryodhan is not correct but still he stayed loyal with him till his last breath because the way he was treated by other people was very bad.He was also known as"Danshoor".He was so large hearted that he never refused any one's request even at the time of his death too.At dravpadi's swayamvar,he was present but she rejected him because he was sutputra.He supported duryodhan for his misbehaviour with her but may be he knew he was not doing right.On other hand Arjun had everything his guru,identity,power and Shri Krishna.he had nothing to loose.When kunti told karan that he is her son and asked him to be with them.he rejected it because of his loyal friendship with duryodhan and told her to keep their relation secret and promised her that his 5 sons will stay alive no matter what..He dies with tragic end not only because he was friend with duryodhan but also the way he was treated by the people that forced him to their side ..but no matter what...he was the true warrior...Just my views.what you guys think ?

You are right Karna indeed is a true warrior and his death is a tragic one and he death as a true hero in many people's eyes. Here are Karna's some other names:

1)Vasusena - This was his first name, it was because he was born with wealth (i.e earings and natural armour )
2)Radheya - because he is the adopted son of radha ,who nurtured him as her own son
3)Karna - The cutter or peeler of his own cover( Natural armour )
4)Vaikartana - because he had cut his natural armour and earings and gave it to indra
5)Vrisha - because he is ever truthful is speech,enagaged in penances, observant of vows , kind even to foes.

yeah karna was a great warrior i agree..
bt i disagree tat arjun had every thing..y do v hav to compare arjun n karna always?? even arjun suffered a lot.. he lost his father at young age and always kauravas plotted against pandavas.. nly thing is he got good guru bt it was his determination tat made him achieve more knowledge.. and krishna was with arjun becoz he was on dharmas side nt becoz he is his friend..fr krishna all r equal be it karna /arjun.. it s totally kuntis fault tat karna had to bear insults nt arjuna's.. so i tnk v shud nt compare them both..just my pov..sry if i hurt u..

Great post.. 😃
Yes completely agree.. KARNA was the greatest warrior & the most inspiring character of Mahabharata..though he also had some bad qualities in him but still He is my favouritest..a character which fascinates Aamir Khan & Mohit Raina.. ⭐️

And I agree with you on Arjuna's part :- he almost had everything.. He was never humiliated like Karna (for his low birth) neither he had curses upon him nor he had misfortunes in his side !

He was a great warrior.I feel that cast system has due to his character as his arguments were very genuine and he was never ashamed of his cast.
