A minister comes to narrate the proceedings in the court where Pandu finally ascended the throne after much persuasion saying he wold rule the kingdom as a legacy of his brother like Bharat did for Shri Ram...

Dhritarashtra is unmoved... he doesnot consider his younger brother capable of such noble thoughts...With anger, frustration and hoplessness he blurts out the truth..He has been pushed to a life of darkness to live as a nobody.. His children thus cheated of a royal lineage... The Kuruclan would henceforth be glorified by Pandu and his sons...

When a grave injustice plagues man his life centers around it..The need for justice clamours high... But the path of justice is to make the aggressor realize and repent and reestablish the trust for justice in society in the heart of the victim.

Dhritarashtra is smart enough to understand that Shakuni wants him to practice deceit for his own family...He declines to listen to his counsel...But Shakuni is clever enough to point out how his sister was the only who stood by his side at the lowest point in life.. And her companionship would ensure him with a strong and robust line of 100 sons .. Thus bringing him in the centre-stage of Hastinapur politics...The young prince suddenly sees an opportunity and use for his previously shunned wife.
