@mangothyme my understanding of Yudhi as Dharmaputra is followed the dharma literally by that I mean as per the perception of the society. For him, his wife was a property that could be placed as the bet. If you look none in the hall opposed this idea. The great Bhishma Pitamah nor the teacher Drona. They all endorsed the idea that what is happening is right. They told Yudhi had the right on his brothers. We need to know Yudhi kept them also as bets. Instead of individuals they were also treated properties by him. All his younger brothers.
We need to understand the beauty of Panchali's question and how could Narayan come to her rescue. She asks whether Yudhi kept her as a bet after he became slave or before that. Reason a king in those days was expected to have right on everything. So as long Yudhi was king he had the right on queen and place her as a bet. But once he becomes slave he has nothing and his wife is not his property. When Krishna comes hearing Panchali's call this is what Narayan affirms. A wife is not husband's property. She is an independent person and has a right to defend herself against the atrocity happening to her .
Panchali demanded justice. She only wanted Dusshana. But the whole army came to protect Dushashana and the war happened.
The upholder of dharma has to be clear. That's why I told Adhiraj is kept as a CBI officer. The law has to correct and has to punish guilty and that's why I have kept Adhi as Narayan also in real sense as far as Anami goes . Her friend position, when you look at the battle. But even for him, he has to take the power of LM. I can give more analysis only as story unfolds.
Abhi going to Chakravyuha yes it is willingingly but what option Pandavas had that day. Either Abhi cut through the vyuha or lose the war as if no one goes to cut Chakravyuha then Yudhi will captured and the war will end. So we have to know that Abhi had no option, but to fight it, atleast give a chance for saving his side from defeat, give a chance for further battle. Post marriage what option Satrupa had to fight the Chakravyuha she pushed into. Those days girls were not accepted back in their maayka as it was a matter of prestige. She had to fight, wherever she found oppourtunities. She is attacked every time.
Killing of Abhi was not the first adharma the kuruvanshis did. The only thing was that killing exposed the adharmis and their adharma. If you look at MB, Bheeshma brings the princess of Kashi taking them from swayamvar mandap for his brother. Vichitra virya dies. Then Ambika and Ambalika are asked to have relation with vyasa to bear the heir against their will. First it was injustice to take the woman from swayamvara as properties, second even if a man wins the war, they have to be that man's wife not his brother's wife. And third was this forced relation for a heir. Then for Dhritharastra the king of gandhar is threatened with dire consequences if gandhari's hand is not give for the blind kuru prince. It is this action that brings Shakuni to the hastinapura. Shakuni is not the villian of MB. For me the hypocrite Bhishma is the real villian who caused so much bloodshed with his actions. Shakuni was a reactionary force of the injustice that was meted out to gandhar kingdom.
Kunti is the only princess who comes to the kuru family with her will as she chooses pandu in swayamvara. But post Pandu's death when she comes to hastinapur she doesnt assert herself as queen but as Rajmata, the care taker of Yudhi who is crown prince.
Panchali is made wife to 5 pandavas so that they are together always and Panchali manages this injustice in her own way. Actually the infamous hall of dice exposes the adharma partially when Panchali for the first time asserts her right as a woman as a queen. But patriarichy tries to get away with it as it is a woman. But it simmers. The final nail and the expose is Abhimanyu's death.
It is called the tipping point or change point.
I have told again and again this point in Siya Ke Ram forum. Perceptions. What resulted in Sita banishment was not Sita's impurity by body or by mind. It was the perception of Ayodhyawasis that saw dirt in her, who couldnt accept their king's verdict that resulted in that banishment and it took 12 yrs for Luv-Kush to come and sing Ramayana and then question that perception. How an innocent lady, how a lady who did Agnipareeksha was banished.
Perceptions are broken only when the basis of those perception is challenged and visual proof is given. As long as it is women it is acceptable because as per perception of society women is supposed to obey. But if the same thing happens to a man well it is a different proportion. Similarly there are lot of perceptions in society. Exposing it is not easy. Blind rebellion fails because of this. The grey of the society, the hypocrisy of the society. You can kill Ravan, but how will you know the Ravan who chants Ram's name, how will that be eliminated. This is where Abhimanyu comes, shakthi in all its glory comes , the darkness in all the glory comes.
