Karna,the follower of many Dharma

 Karna is criticised for following contradictory dharmas.And that he is an oppurtunist.This is not true.He was always a a giver of daana,or charity right from childhood.Not from ghosha yatra,as said in mahabharta.
He always gave what people asked him,especially when he was giving arghya to surya in the morning.
Now coming to his boon to kunti,that he wont kill four pandavas,except Arjuna,is well within the friendship dharma of karna to duryodhana.Karna said that he will fight for duryodhana in the kurukshetra war.But he didnt say he will kill pandavas other than Arjuna.And his boon to kunti didnt contradict his friendhsip to duryodhana.When he defeated the pandava army including satyaki,drishtadyumna,bhima,imapanchala warriors and then defeated yudhishtira he said a few words to him and let him go.Duryodhana wanted to capture yudhishtira,not kill him.And when karna had the oppurtunity to capture him,he didnt.He knows that pandavas will lose the war,if he does that.For the release of yudhishtira,duryodhana will demand that pandavas stop the war,and give up their kingdom.karna knows this,and  to make dharmaraja win the war ,he let him go.He didnt go by duryodhana's wish at that time.he went by dharma.As for Arjuna,his survival isnt really needed for the establishment of dharma rajya,or for yudhishtira to win the war.Even if Arjuna is killed by karna,karna would have ensured that Bhima kill duryodhana,and he will be recogonised as kunti's son later.And karna didnt stop bhima from killing dushasana.He was just a few feet away from bhima,and with one arrow,he could have cut the head of bhima.But he allowed bhima to kill dushasana and fulfill his pran or oath for dragging draupadi to the dice hall.So this shows the dharmic nature of karna.When he was not aware that he was the elder pandavas,he accpeted anga kingdom,and kshatriya status given by duryodhana.karna is human,and this is the only way he could fight with other warriors and prove his valour.But once he knew who he was,his opininon has changed.He fought for duryodhana,but ensuredthe victory of the yudhishtira,pandavas.Arjuna doesnt really count as I have already said.It is krishna who favoured Arjuna.And the gita is a later addtion to the Mahabharata,which shows krishna as god,and his preferance to Arjuna.gita was written to counter buddhism,and its ideas, and to get people back to hindu dharma.So karna was made evil at that time.Many buddhist ideas are there in gita.
As I said earlier,he fought the war with Arjuna.He spared the four pandavas.He didnt capture yudhishtira.He followed his charity.And more importantly,he didnt break the rules of war.He always fought according to the rules.Even wth Abhimanyu he didnt fight with full energy.Karna said that he is staying in battlefield beasue he should not flee.But did he really mean that?No.He was indirectly praising his nephew.He cant prasie him directly because duryodhana is there.He broke the bow of Abhimanyu,because Abhimanyu was destroying kaurava army.He didn't shoot arrows against him.Others like Ashwatthama,kritavarma,shalya shot arrows.
Also,even drona was reluctant to kill him.But he had to defeat him,to protect duryodhana.
After karna's chariot wheel has stuck in the ground,Arjuna should have gone against duryodhana,and  then captured him.Then bhima would have fought with duryodhana,and killed him.That would have been best ending to the mahabharat war.Maybe karna was hoping for this,but krishna because of his selfish reasons asked Arjuna to kill Karna.
It is said that sugriva will always help god vishnu.And he is part of vishnu.He helped Rama with his army.
Now his younger brother,Karna in mahabharata helped god with the kaurava army,whom he is the commander.Though he is on enemy's side,he ensured victory of Dharma's,pandava's victory.Whether krishna is god or not,god is on the side of dharma isnt it.

The best ending of mahabharata war

 The mahabharata war didnt get the best ending.Krishna with his conspiracy,made Arjuna kill karna by adharmaic means,and made Yudhishtira angry and also made kunti regret for not teeling pandavas about karna.When Karna chariot wheel was stuck in earth,Arjuna should have allowed Karna to go back.And attacked duryodhana.Only Ashwatthama was protecting duryodhana so Arjuna with satyaki,bhima could have easily captured duryodhana.Karna could not have done anything as he was without chariot.After capturing duryodhana,he shsould have been asked to fight a duel with Bhima.And if Bhima could not kill duryodhana,then bhima could have killed him by breaking his thighs.And then karna shsould have been revealed as eleder brother of pandavas.Then all would have been well.Pandavas would have been happy,and kunti would have been happy.And the upapandavas would not have been killed.But Krishna for his selfish reasons made Arjuna kill Karna.And ths made yudhishtira angry,and made kunti unhappy.

Simple Logic

 It is simple logic.Fo people who believe Rama,Krishna are divine or god incarnates.Even incarnations can  do wrong things.Vali is a better warrior than sugriva.He cant be defetaed when fighting from front.So Rama killed him from behind when vali was fighting with sugriva.So here incarnate was against the stronger warrior.Krishna asked Arjuna to kill Karna when his chariot wheel was stuck and he got down to lift it.So here the incarnate is against the stronger warrior siding against the warrior who is on dharma side as the believers say.So Karna is a better warrior than Arjuna.So the believers have to accept this.I dont understand why there is so much of debate on this.
I am not talking about the people who are logical here.

Arjuna's defeat by the Abhiras

 After the yadavas in dwaraka killed themselves in fighting among themselves and krishna's death,Arjuna was taking the wives of the yadavas to hastinpaura.While he was on his way,he was attacked by the Abhiras,a tribe opposed to the yadavas.They knew the yadavs had died,and they attacked the women who had precious belongings as well.But Arjuna coudnt so anything.With difficulty he lifted the gandiva,and shot arrows,but they fell short of them.He coukdnt invoke celestial weapons.He then fought them with hand to hand,but he could save krishna's eight wives,and some important yadava women.But The Abhiras,peasants who attacked took away some woman,and their belongings.This shows that Arjuna is not a great a warrior as he is projected to be.At that age,he could be in his seventies.He is not older than Bhishma  or Drona at the time of Mahabharata war.They have fought in the war well.But Arjuna's defeat by the Abhiras,peasants also show another thing about Arjuna's valour.He is not good in hand to hand combat.He is good when he has his gandiva.He basically learnt  dhanurvidya.And he didnt have to fight other weapons like mace,sword with others.Without the bow,even nakula,sahadeva are better warriors than him,But in this situation,hand to hand combat is needed.And at this age,he couldnt fight the thieves.
In the mahabharata war,he fought with those who were following rules of war.Like Karna,Bhishma.And he could kill them when chariot wheel is sunk in earth,or using shikhandi as a shield.But the Abhiras,peasants didnt follow any rules of war.So Arjuna got defeated by them.He was punished for killing karna unrighteously.And krishna who asked karna to be killed when his chariot is stuck,he also got killed like a  hunted animal.This is the result of his advice of Adharma yuddha and making pandavas kill their enemies,by unrighteous means.So he was punihsed for his karma.
So one shouldnt do Adharma,otherwise one will be punihsed for these things.

Aswatthama's right words

 Ashwatthama's was angry after the death of Drona.He said these words.

I have now learnt how my sire has been slain by those low wretches after he laid aside his weapons, and how also has a sinful act been perpetrated by Yudhishthira disguised in the grab of virtue! 1 I have now heard of that unrighteous and exceedingly cruel act of Dharma's son. Indeed, to those engaged in battle, either of the two things must happen, viz., victory or defeat. Death in battle is always to be applauded. That death, in battle, of a person engaged in fight, which takes place under circumstances of righteousness, is not deserving of grief, as has been observed by the sages. Without doubt, my sire has gone to the region of heroes. He having met with such a death, I should not grieve for him. The humiliation, however, of a seizure of his locks, that he sustained in the very sight of all the troops, while he was righteously engaged in battle, is tearing the very core of my heart. Myself alive, my sire's locks were seized, why should sonless people then entertain a desire of offspring? 2 People perpetrate unrighteous acts or humiliate others, moved by lust or wrath or folly or hatred or levity. The cruel and wicked-souled son of Prishata hath perpetrated this exceedingly sinful act in total disregard of me Dhrishtadyumna, therefore, shall surely suffer the dreadful consequence of that act, as also the false-speeched son of Pandu, that has acted so wrongly. Today, the earth shall certainly drink the blood of that king Yudhishthira the just, who caused the preceptor, by an act of deceit to lay aside his weapons. I swear by truth, O Kauraveya, as also by my religious acts, that I shall never bear the burden of life if I fail to exterminate the Panchalas. By every means I contend with the Panchalas in dreadful strife. I shall certainly slay in battle Dhrishtadyumna, that perpetrator of unrighteous deeds. Mild or violent, let the means be what they will, I shall effect the destruction of all the Panchalas before peace becomes mine. O Kaurava!

So Ashwatthama killed drishtyadyumna ,and other brothers of draupadi on thenight of Duryodhana's death.He also killed Draupadi's five sons.He didnt want panchala descendents to live.Saputika parva was part of shalya parva.It was later made into a separate parva by later editors of Mahabharata.Its not a play or added later.The Hindu rightwingers want to believe that sauptika parva is added later becasue it negates the victory of the pandavas.And the pandava victory will be useless.Thethe truth is pandava victory is not useful.That is what makes mahabharata an epic.Mahabharata is not a happy ending story.It is these things that made mahabharata popular for  along time.
Ashwatthama was caught by pandavas as he agreed that he didnt know how to withdraw the Brahmashira astra.And Arjuna with this permission has withdrawn both the astras.Draupadi has to let Ashwatthamam go.Because by now she realised that revenge is not good.It took this much time for her to realise this.
And krishan curse to Ashwatthama is false.Ashwatthama certianly didn't live thousands of years.That is made up by some.He went away somewhere after this.

Hindu rightwingers opposition to Karna

 Hindu rightwingers are opposed to  karna.I am not talking about the knowledgable people or spiritually or religionally inclined people here.Its the rightwing fanatics who believe some facts without logic,and cocnsistently lie about the divinities of some people or defend the manupulations of the epics.They wont understand logic.Hindu rightwingers dont like Karna as he posed a challengge to the class system based on occupation of that era.Suta caste is a high caste,but some sutas became charioters who werent that rich.So they were considered inferior to royal born kshatriyas.The rightwingers want Arjuna who is born in a royal family to beocme the greatest archer,and bow wielder.Thats why they support the later additions to the mahabharata such as ghosha yatra.And much of virat war is manupulated anyway.
next is Karna fought on the kauravas side becasue of his friendship with duryodhana.And becasue duryodhana made him the Anga King,and gave him the kshatriya status.By the time he knew he was kunti's son,a lot of time has passed for him to go to the pandavas side.But he gave a word to kunti that he will spare the lives of pandavas escept Arjuna as he promised his friend duryodhana that he will fight with Arjuna.
And he spared the lives of all four pandavas.Bhima,Sahadeva in Drona parva, Yudhishtira,nakula in karna parva.Sparing sahadeva was not there in kmg version,but is clearly mentioned in south editions.So the four pandavas were alive because of him.Since Bhishma said he wont kill padavas,and drona wouldnt kill them anyway.So if he doenst kill them then the four pandavas are spared.
The rightwingers dont like this.How could the pandavas who are divine,and supported by krishna who is god,be alive becasue of karna who fought on the side of duryodhana.So they make up stories that Bhima wasnt defeated by karna,and they ignore sahadeva being spared.Infact they say that Bhima spared karna.They manupulate facts for their agenda.
Most importantly,Krishan asked Arjuna to kill karna when his chariot wheel is stuck,and he got down to lift it.So if karna is a good person,then it makes,krishna,Arjuna evil.So they will have to make karna evil,to make krishna.Arjuna divine.So they lie about a lot of things,that he is a war monger,that he the cause of duryodhana's evil and so on.These are baseless things.
karna didnt invite the pandavas to the dice game.He didnt bet their wealth,draupadi.He didnt ask dushasana to drag drauapadi to the dice hall.He didnt say anything later.But some say he is evil.
The rightwingers should realise that karna is a better warrior than Arjuna,and a better person than Arjuna.They should stop these manupulations.

The sudarshana chakra didnt exist

 The mahabharata mentions about sudarshana chakra of krishna,and how as he used on some occasions.
THe sudarshana chakra doesnt exist.Its a later addition to make make krishna god.The first instance is that of slaying shishupala where krishna uses sudarshana chakra.What happened was a battle between krishna and sishupala and after hours of fighting krishna managed to slay sishupala.Sishupala was not somebody who could be killed easily.There are some books written by some poets about the battle between krishna,sishupala.
Krishna,sishupala have enemity for a long time.Krishna's plans for yadava kingdoms were opposed by sishupala.Krishna adviced  the pandavas to conduct the Rajasuya Yaga,and subdue all kings,so it will eliminate his enemies.So that the yadavas will be safe and can prosper.He became the political advisor to the pandavas,and also adviced them on other matters.Sishupala didnt like this.So when the rajasuya yaga was started,he along with some kings had a plan to attack krishna and kill him.So he started abusing Krishna and challenged him to a fight.The other kings also supported him.Krishna,sishupala came outside and  mounted on a chariot and started fighting.Sishupala strikes krishna with many arrows,and so does krishna.
After some hours of fighting,krishna manages to slay sishupala.This battle is detailedly written by some poets in some books.Later on this was changed to Krishna killing sishupala with the sudarshana chakra.THis was done after Krishna was made god by pro pandava writers of mahabharata.
The second instance where krishna used the sudarshana chakra is when he attacked Bhishma in the mahabharata war,when Bhishma was causing widespread destruction,and Arjuna was not able to stop it.Although the mahabharata depicts that krishna used a chariot wheel instead of a chakra,but this is written in some other books.
The third time is when he uses the  sudarshan chakra to eclipse the sun,so that Jayadratha could come out and Arjuna could kill him.The original mahabharata says that krishna used maya instead of sudarshan chakra.
So its clear the the sudarshana chakra didnt exist,and it is later addition by people who waned to make krishna god.
