Is the Mahabharata really about dharma
This in my complete lack of knowledge . I dont know is it that i have failed to understand the text or the text is too literal that it looses meaning but i have been reading the English translate ion bibin Debroy i believe and I can’t but help that the text is so fixated on caste and the women are given such less space . Most importantly the number of excuses made for the Pandavas and omg the glazing everytime their name is taken.
For instance at subhadras wedding no one bothers asking what subhadras opinion is and when the elders raise this in council Krishna says that what Parth has done is right and that there is no better man that Subhadra could have got . I am almost inclined to say that the serials have presented the Pandavas and even Krishna in much more better light . To be honest my belief in the text has been shaken . Why are the Pandavas even deemed righteous ? I am sorry for my lack of knowledge but these are the few questions i had since reading .
