Draupadi - Part 4/12 - Karna Wins Not

http://totallyfreeenergy.zxq.net
Karna lifts the bow but not Draupadi's heart. Spurned and turned down he joins Dhuryodana in shame.

Totally agree !! She could have rejected him without insulting him publicly !

She deserved to be called a whore by Karna !!

Doesn't mean that what happened to her in the game of dice was right, certainly not.

But that's the point of this whole story, its gray, not black and white.

She insulted him, she got it back. It's called Karma.

Why was Kunti or Gandhari never insulted in the same way ?

Because they never insulted men of honour.

Karma defines destiny.

karan is more nice and talented and of great knowledge non of the pandav are more powerful than him because duryodham made him angraj that's why he supported him because krishna trick he was defeated by arjun

@totallyfreeenergy FYI I know it occurred after wax palace and despite all that Duryodhana had done, he still hadn't done anything against Draupadi, YET! And Drapaudi had NO MANNERS in that she insulted someone who was a guest at her palace of Indraprasth. Although, same can be said about Duryodhana also. I never said that the disrobing was justified. Karna calling her a whore was justified after her insulting of Karna as a sut-putra in a large assembly. Disrobing her was way too extreme.

@dannyp206 contd. Just because she laughed at his fall and mentioned that he was blind like his father does not mean that he should disrobe her in the court. Duryodana and Karna had no class at all. The only remarkable thing about their friendship is that they clung to each other in the sinking ship. I would not call that an achievement. It was really only a business partnership.

@dannyp206 Ha my friend you need to brush up on your mahabharat. The incident u r referng to happened after wax palace, exile and rebuilding of Indraprasth from scratch on a desolate marsh land. Yudishtra invited them over to the yaga to croun himself as an emperor after all these dirty work by the Kauravs. If Duruyodna and Karna had any character they should not have accepted the invitation in the first place. So Draupadi had a laugh at the absurd obnoxious men. So what! contd.

@totallyfreeenergy Karna's glory stemmed from the fact that he remained loyal to his true friendship of Duryodhan (the one good quality Duryodhan had despite being a miserable loser) & returned the true love of his adopted mother Radha, by refusing his true mother Kunti & his royal heritage even after recognising them. Also despite Krishna's (God's) tempting offer, he chose to not to desert the ones who cared for him , when he was a seen as a nobody in the eyes of Kshatriyas. Karna is an ideal!

@totallyfreeenergy Look my friend, being special is not about being rude and insulting to ones you think is inferior to you. A man/woman is judged by how they treat their inferiors. Draupadi certainly didnt have what it took to pass that test. Being special to Krishna doesnt give one the right to put someone down b/c of their low caste birth or to laughing mock someone saying that "the blind man's son is also blind"? Remember that at that time Duryodhana or Karna had not even wronged Draupadi.
