Do you think Duryodhan would have befriended Karna... - Page 3

One simple ending - Karna giving all rights to Duryodan and leaving to the forest with Kunti and 5 brothers. Jesht Brata says all will obey, Kunti will obey to her Jesht Putr fo the suffering he had earlier. 😊

One thing I don't understand is...the Kauravas also did not have Kuru blood, so why the hatred against Pandavas? Neither Dhritarastra nor Pandu were born of Vichitraveerya, so neither of them had "Kuru blood". Just as Dhritarastra was born out of niyog, the Pandavas were also born out of Niyog...so unless Bhishma had any kids (who would be the rightful heirs), the Pandavas' and Kauravas' claim to the throne was pretty much equal.

Even if Pandavs were flesh and blood of Pandu then also they would never have considered rightful heir to the throne or part of family.

Even Dhritrashtra or his father vichitravirya was also not part of lineage not even shantanu or DEvvrat. Bharat did not make any of his 9 sons his flesh n blood king or samrat but he did yagya from where he got rishi bhardwaj who had given his throne to his son deeelip and became an ascetic and went off to editate, after him several generations came around 60 generations or 65 there is no gaurantee that all of them were flesh and blood they might have been adopted.

So Duryodhan or Dhritrashtra had no right to make pandav feel as an outsiders

By blood i believe they meant Family . Vyasa was family as he was Satyawati's son . The Pandavas were not regarded as family as neither were they Pandu's sons nor 'family' as the Kurus saw it . They regarded Vidur as more family though he was born of a daasi as he had Vyasa for a father . Similiarly the Kauravas regarded Yuyutsu as their own who defected and were angry ...though Yuyutsu was born of a daasi he has come forth from Dritharashtra's loins and so was in the 'family ' . They believed in the family tree i guess . They must have regarded it from Vyasa and anybody else was an outsider to them .

Even if Pandavs were flesh and blood of Pandu then also they would never have considered rightful heir to the throne or part of family.

When Kunti revealed the truth of Karna's birth after the war, all the Pandavas were filled with remorse that they had killed their brother, though unknowingly, and Yudhisthir the most. No where in Veda Vyasa's MB does it say Yudhisthir was power hungry. He felt so guilty over Karna's death that he cursed Kunti that all of womankind would never be able to hold a secret again.

The only mistake Yudhisthir ever made in his life was to gamble away his kingdom, brothers, and wife during the dice game (that too can be arguable that he was following Dhritarastra's orders, but that's just my POV), but otherwise he truly was Dharmaraj in deed. I don't base my POV of the Pandavas or Kauravas on folklore or interpretations of recent authors. Veda Vyasa is the ultimate source and there, Yudhisthir is indeed Dharmaraj.
