And me too really doubt whether suta's were economically that much sound at that period of time!!!!it's not only vrishali karna himself wearing a golden wristlet on his hand š ..i just hope it's not a gold plated and made by gold only.. š
Anyway on serious note...it's not only suta I think except kings and other royal families no one posses that much wealth at that Time ...even Brahmins were also poor...i can not remember properly but most probably after knowing the original identity of karna yudi also said to kunti that in poverty ppl may do many misdeeds...that can not be considered as serious crime ...I do not know whether he meant for materialastic or spiritual poverty...but I think he mentioned for materialestic poverty...which depicts that although adirath was a royal charioteer but still he was not that much rich...so it is obvious that others charioteers also were not that much rich. š
The dress up of karna and vrishali in āļø Mb were more realistic than SPK...
@bold - Oh! its gold plated alright! ššš
Nandu, I too think that the common subjects may not be that sound economically. They might be balanced. Coz, these people paid taxes, and I believe that the climatic conditions back then have been better, which resulted in good agri yields. Hence, there is a possibility of flourishing economy and good standard of living. But because, the suta community is being depicted as oppressed in this show, I m asking, how can they be portrayed as so well off economically ?
Yeah, Brahmins can be shown to be poor, coz I never really came across "a rich brahmin" anywhere in mythology.
@ bold blue - Being a royal charioteer, I feel Adirath might have had a generous income. But since, Karna's ambitions were not materialistic in nature, rather he craved respect and fame, here I think even Yudi might have misunderstood him. Coz, he got his share of honour after being befriended by Dury. And money follows, once there is honour and respect.
I firmly believe, even Karna might have been flabbergasted with Dury's misdeeds later on. But he did not have a choice other than helping him! (I ain't talking about the cheerharan.)
āļøB was so good when it came to dress ups! Looks like Swastik is drained out of money for the costumes after their heavy shelling out in the previous show! š¤£
