It touched the strings of heart and all questions are logical to those who r fond of human side of this epic.
I never considered Duryodhan as evil or bad omen... He was a human and like all other humans he was loving, caring, protective, jealous, aggressive, etc.Thank you, we think similar 😃It's my passion to enter into the minds of villains and also those who presents themselves very good but their acts are cunning...I find both of theirs heads are interesting than heros 😃
U know few says Suryodhana was same as Devrath Bheeshma. Bheeshma was against the caste system but later his responsibilities nd oath took away his free and rebellious thoughts... But he used to see himself in Duryodhan.No I haven't heard this story, But yes it is great to find it out, thankz for the info 😃
Read AJAYA , its brilliant. Where the writer actually touched the social issues... Nd not just talked Dharma - Adharma.
Sayanee already gave me Ajaya as my B'day present which was in December 16th but since she was very much eager to read I gave it her, to read first 😃 however, she will give me back by tomorrow, so then I'll start reading it 😃
I will just say , Duryodhan was born in wrong time and wrong era. Where Chaturvarna system was too strong to change it. If he would have taken birth later ... He would have been termed as a social reformer. That warrior had refreshing and rebellious thoughts... That's why Balram taught him...Exactly, that is the thing I say at every thread, when all term him just a pure evil. Balram also preferred Duryadhan more
He was not just a good friend of Karna but he had soft corner for Eklavya... He was a MAN of his time.Yes he never supported his Guru's act towards Eklavya..If we see the epic, Duryadhan had many good friends, who were ready to die for him in the battle field...If the man was so evil why his friends loved hi so much!
Don't know why people hates him so much based on the one-sided story...That is also my question...I feel all the epic characters have sheds, no one is purely good, none is purely evil...all are grey..
Well u have made me curious about Duryodhan - Bhanumati story... Can you please give me links where I can find details on them??Well I read about their love dubey relationship first in the Palace of Illusions, though the part was small, but frankly speaking from that part only my curiosity about Durydhan's character increased more...The man who loves his wife so much...how can he insult a lady!!!There are instances about Dury Bahnu in the book Karna's wife also, there you can see how he loved, trusted, respected both his friend and wife..
Btw I read Subhdra was his first love but he never fought for her when Arjun married her ... He didn't involve two kingdoms to fight over a lady... He simply let it go... Wasn't it sane and sensible decision?? And A KING should be sensible...Well I don't know if Duryadhan loved Subhadra or not (actually still haven't read anything about it) so cannot say...

Panchu This is an wonderful OS .. I will give long comment later-edited-I remember while turning pages of Shiva Trilogy one line hit me very deepWhere Shiva says Lord Rudra slayed Asuras and Asuras were bad and a priest replied Who said they were bad??Shiva said I read it in booksPriest again asked: who wrote the booksAnswer: Devas!!!!Yes I remember that part from Shiva Trilogy as I read it, loved it and simply lived into some unique philosophy of the book...This is the key of all answer .. PERSPECTIVE .. change it and the world is changedIn the books of Asuras Devas would be villains .. [well Persian myths is a proof of it ]If you read the 3rd part of Shiva Trilogy, there its written, in a region their Gods are called Ahuras (which sounds very similar to the Asuras) and the Demons are called Deavas (which sounds similar to Devas)I am writing this because Panchu you proved that you have the eye of seeing things from unconventional side .. you have the guts to question old cliched believesThis is itself a thing to praise👏Thank you I think That quality we both have..result of 15 years of friendship..we read almost same books and the books you love or I love even if the other can't manage time to read we tell the stories to each other 😃you are definitely an awesome writer but the best thing is the topic of writing .. your selection is amazing and your portrayal is logicalThankz and while writing it I cared so much about the epic villain that I quit writing about my Hero Karna and Heroine Draupadi...I felt like there are thousands books on Karna as well as Draupadi and there will be more, but there are how many about Duryadhan!!! That gave me the determination to write about him...this piece is my tribute to himEven a believer of conventional thought if have a open mind will think .. what Dharma asks for killing a new born baby? What dharma ignore agony of a bullied child .. is dharma is only in focusing on consequences completely ignoring the reason .. why trying to justify things with one sided views .. why obeying one side of deceit and loathing another side .. I found no logic in this things .. and you just put the same questions rightThose are the questions which I always bear in my mind!!!!wonderful job and thanks for writing this piece .. keep writing dearThank you dear..you know you are my inspiration to write..When we were in school I first showed my skill only into poetry and I thought I cannot write stories, coz these are big and it takes time and then one day I read a Romantic comedy story by you, which you had written in your secret copy and that you shared only with me and our other 2 close friends 😃
