For instance i never accept one thing that parents can name their children which are not gud like Duryodhan- means a bad warrior. Dushashan means a bad administrator.
this is really confusing isn't it. because Balram as a teacher always liked Duryodhan more than Bheem. He even wanted Subhadra to marry Duryodhan.
Duryodhan even accepted Karan despite his caste.
Yudhistir who is considered as the son of Dharamraj used to love playing "Jua".
is watever shown a reality??????
BTW this serial is showing Dhritrashtra and Gandhari in very bad light. they were not tat bad. Gadhari was always portrayed as very nice lady.
By the way Mahabharat had many issues which are prevalent now also.
one of them is Casteism. Karan Despite being the best warrior was not acceptable and always addressed as Sut-Putra.
Second was about eloping. it was neither accepted that times nor now. Rukmi even fought against the army who had Krishna. Balram was very angry on Arjun after he eloped with Subhdra.
third women's condition. Sati was prevalent at tat times and wat happened to Draupadi
Isn't it strange. most of hindus love Krishna. But they hate love marriages. and they love Krishna-Rukmini eloping tales.
