Favourite Mahabharata Character

[itachiii]

Abimanyu.. A prodigy who never showed his back in the war and fought his mighty and more powerful uncles all alone...

Awvatthama is the son of Drona, right? He kills all the Pandas at night?

Aswathama killed the pandava son's..

 

[JanjaWeed]

Abhimanyu

Abhimanyu is a high profile character.. I thought OP was looking for some non mainstream characters..& the ones I mentioned fits the bill!

 

[itachiii]

It is said that Lord Ganesh himself recited everything to Ved Vyas who wrote Mahabharat

Ved vyasa recited mahabaratha and it is Lord ganesha who has written it...

Sorry lol
that was an epic mistake

Abhimanyu's son survived
and Aswathama was cursed for an immortal existence

there is an important character in kaurava's apart from duryodhana and dushasana.. he is Vikarna , 3rd among 100 kauravaas..

He is the only righteous person among kauravas, he is the only one who questioned the objectives of treacherous dice game and was against the humilation of draupadi..he was the best archer among kauravas.. he knew that kauravas would never win mahabaratha and yet chose to stay with his brother and didn't forsake him...

You can read a book which will be of great help.


"Mrityunjay" By Shivaji Savant.The book is on life of Karna recited by Karna himself

 

[East or West India Best]

Ved vyasa recited mahabaratha and it is Lord ganesha who has written it...

Wasn't it the great seer Sanjaya narrated what he saw to Dhritarashtra, then the sage Vyasa compiled this?

kunti.. had sex with everybody and blamed the children on gods... (very similar to a middle eastern personality I dont want to name.)

Rude af. You're sexists and disrespectful to the Mahabharata and Indian history.

Thank you, I will seriously look into Vikarna. Also, among the elders there is the one low caste born. He speaks the truth but no one seems to listen to him. In fact, if they listened to his advice Kurukshetra wouldn't have happened. What is his name again?

ARJUNA ; the one and only ; simply the BEST

Bhisma, the most pious, knowledgeable, fiercest warrior, character of all. He is everything molded into one. I like how he remained celibate to please his parents. He is Sri Ram 2.0.

He allowed his pledge to become bigger than his duty

He was blinded by his pledge to support the sitting emperor
rather than do what is right

In fact he and Dronacharya are responsible for being silent and allowing the wrong doings

Just as we criticise PM MMS for being silent and allowing all wrongdoings

vichitravirya: Only interesting bit is his name and the fact that he died childless...
vyasa was called to impregnate his wives which he did... but then made the children vichitravirya's using his yogic power.
I like vyasa's sense of humour.

 

[The Great One]

Eklavya, Karna, Bhishma and Drona were all superior to Arjun, yet Arjun gets all the glory.
My fav is Karna. Bad luck all round did the poor guy in.

Because he walked in righteous path !


I like Krishna, Arjun, Karna !
