but why she is not at all concerned about her son karna?
many times karna was insulted in front of her...but she was always silent...
She was very much concerned about her son Karna dear. Just before the war she went to Karna, revealed the truth to him, and asked him to join their side when Karna said no. That was out of desperation. But it was too late. Karna was also always with Duryodhan, and always sided with wrong knowing that what he is doing is wrong. And finally it was war time and if then Kunti would reveal the truth to everybody including Pandavs, then they would definitely not fight the war and the gainer would be Duryodhan. Why would Kunti let that happen? She lived all her sons but she also wanted Yudhishtir to get the throna was the was the rightful heir. So she tried, and revealed the truth to Karna. But it did not work.
