Is this a failure of Vidur niti ? - Page 2

thanks for your views but stil not quite sure how pandavas will come out strong as never before. They were simply living in the forest. No strategic alliance was built for them BY ViIDUR. No doubt marriage with Draupadi made them strong to convince Dhrit but again it was not due to any of Vidur's clever manipulation.

Also threat from Duri was always looming at large so not sure how this lying low helped. Duri wanted the kingdom and he would have attempted many times. If they were shown to be alive after foiling plot without pointing fingers at duri, purochan being primary witness could have led to back door successful negotiations.

Though vidur didn't make any strategic alliance for the pandavas , he was sure they're capable of doing something themselves and Krishna is there for them ... Back door alliances mightn't have been successful because dhrit was a double-minded person , who wanted his son's happiness at any cost ... He might've manipulated yudhi like he tried to do once .. And yudhi was not in favour of waging a war ... So there were many ways to throw the pandavas outta their way ..

And vidur was just a minister and was not all in all , but dhrit was ..

what do u say ???
