Which death was saddest in Mahabharat? - Page 2

Please share here which death was saddest for you, and explain why.😳

I would have to say Abhimanyu
because,
1, he was only 14,
2, he had a young pregnant wife,
3, he was the son of none other than our Arjun,
4, he was killed unethically because all of the Kauravas basically ganged up on him.

^^ Yes, same here. It was a tough choice between Ghatotkach and Abhimanyu, because both sacrificed their lives at such a young age (Ghatotkach was a lot older than Abhimanyu, but still too young to die). In the end, I went with Abhimanyu because his death was so humiliating and unethical. Ghatotkacha's death was more heroic. Don't get me wrong, I think even Abhimanyu was very heroic, but Ghatokach died in dignity. He and Karna faced only each other and Karna did not kill him unethically. He knew he was going to die beforehand (he purposefully fought with Karna just so the latter could use his Shakti) and he accepted death like an old friend (to quote Harry Potter, lol)...his death really made me respect him more than being sad, while Abhimanyu's death was just wrong in every way. He never had the chance to fight back with dignity, and he was humiliated and treated lower than a servant before dying.

None, according to me. They all played their parts extremely well and departed precisely the way they should have.😛

I disagree w/ some of the choices on offer - Bheeshma, Drona, Karna and Duryodhan.  Very strongly, particularly Duryodhan.  Yeah, one might complain about them being unfairly defeated/killed, but that doesn't make it sad.  What was sad was warriors like Shalya who wanted to fight for the Pandavas being tricked into being dutybound to join the Kauravas instead 😡

My vote goes to Abhimanyu becuase the way he was killed was wrong in every way. He never got the chance to fight back but he was just dragged in...It was unethical in every way!!!

Abhimanyu death was the most sadest one.

Apart dat he was only 14 and had a pregnant wife Uttra b'coz when u go on for a war death is a part of it,
but the kauravs had violated all the rules and regulation of the war to kill Abhimanyu not only the war rules but also a warriors rule not to attack on a unarmed person.
It this Guru Dronacharya who had himself taught the Yudhniyams to the kaurav pandavs had also forgot about the teachings.
But yes after his death only the real war started.
