Thanks Preeti, Vrish n Lakshmi for clearing my doubts.
Honestly...from wat I see...we are not in agreement with the status of Godliness of the characters.
While some feel God-fathers were helpless...others feel they could have helped.
I personally agree with the latter.
From wat I see...the reason y the God-fathers of the Pandavas never intervened is bcoz they were under the care of Pandu. They had the Kuru tag...n hence did not need intervention.
Karna...on the other hand...despite having a happy family always had a status issue...n hence intervention was needed by Lord Surya n Kunti.
Coming to Kunti...it is too much to say...she was completely faultless.
Ofcourse she was cunning n manipulative...there's no doubt about that.
But from I see...she had her reasons to be so. She used her brains when she realized her position in the Kuru family. Her abandonment of Karna was unfortunate n given her age n situation...she shouldnt be blamed. But her going to Karna at such a moment was indeed manipulation.
However it is wrong to say she went like a begger...She did not ask for the lives of the Pandavas.
Karna himself granted her that.
Ofcourse Kunti was not perfect...she manipulated many things...but it can be attributed to her situation.Had Pandu been alive n the King...then maybe the situation would have been different.
Karna would have been better off if he had not known about his lineage AT ALL. The revelation to him was nothing but manipulation. But despite this...I cant help but feel for Kunti.
Finally did Kunti care about Karna?
From her actions it seems she didnt.
But if she didnt care at all...y would she send spies to find out where he is? Why the happiness at his crowning? And finally...after Karna's death she could have kept the secret to herself.
But she told the Pandavas...incurring their wrath n breaking her ideal image in their eyes.
So...maybe she didnt care about him like the way she did about others...but there was always an underlying guilt which comes forth at Karna's funeral.
Just my opinion.
