M R Yardi, in his - "The Mahabharata, its Genesis and Growth, A Statistical Study" and "Epilogue of Mahabhata" says the same thing, that the whole gambling event and the disrobing episode, are interpolations.

True that. Dhritrashtra was dependent on Shakuni for his morale boosting as Vidur and Bheeshm used to call a spade a spade. D's insecurities were Shakuni's biggest strength.Still, Gandhari could have asked B or V to send Shakuni back. After all, it was her home and her children that Shakuni was after.

Which is precisely the reason why nobody heard of that dude in the first place. I mean, Yardi who?

You seem to revel in telling these gory stories. What's your agenda?

Well, over the time, a million people asked Bheeshm and Vidur to do something about Duryodhan and how he was going out of hand. They even consider exiling Duryodhan after they had conclusive proof that Shakuni and Duryodhan planned the lakshaya grih incident. Dhritarastr, the king in charge, completely rejects that idea.

Given how Ganga Putra was under oath to serve the Hastinapur King, I can understand that he couldn't go against D's wishes. But Vidur could have done something --- supari nikaal sakta thaa Shakuni key naam kee. Tapakwa deta uss ko. Surely, something could have done. But then, MB would not have been MB if Shakuni was not there.Oh well, bye for now. I am so mad at all of you😡

lol.. just take it as part of the story, I mean we could take this a step back and say, why didn't Bhishma just break his vow and get hitched already?... I mean, pretty much everyone in the epic breaks all sorts of rules, norms and cutoms, so one dude breaking a vow is no big deal... even his father and Satyavati make pleas to him to break his vow.
