Firstly, if this is in the wrong forum please move it to an appropriate one.
I have been reading Amar Chitra Katha's Mahabharat and Geeta. I have some questions:
Mahabharat
1) Why did Kunti not accept Karna as her son ?
2) Why did Karna choose the Kauravs?
3) Why did Vichitraveerya die of tuberculosis ? Surely he could've lived a long life
4) Why did Dhritarashtra not control his sons if he was King ? Surely he would have control over the military?
5) Why did Arjun marry Krishna's sister if they were cousins ?
6) Why did Bheeshma bless the Pandavs even though he killed many of their soldiers ?
7) Why did Krishna intervene in battle if he was a mere spectator ? He told Arjun when to kill Bhishma and Karna
8) Why did Krishna go mad and kill a bunch of people later in life ?
From what I can read in the Geeta is that people are bound by their dharma (duty) and that what happens in this life is rewarded/punished in the next life; hence Krishna saying it's ok to kill the Pandavs because only the body dies. However, the Indian National Congress Party has been trying to give preference and opportunities to lower castes and minorities whereas the Bharatiya Janata Party abides by the caste system ?
