Since when is Karna a better Archer then Arjuna? He literally got defeated by Chitrasena, Abhimanyu and even Satyaki. Not to mention countless times to Arjuna. Look at what Shiva himself said about Arjun in Mahabharata...
Karna is glorified not because people believe he is hero or good... They know he did some big sins like instigating Draupadi Vastrapaharan... They also know he paid for that in the end... Despite all this
Karna is glorified for following reasons:
1. He is a classic tragic character... Always raises the question of "what if"
2. He was arguably the most powerful archer after Bheeshma... Different matter that he could never display that as he lost many battles due to lack of motivation most of the times and when he was motivated his curses kicked in and of course Madhav did what he had to
3. All this brings relativity for people because normal people are not perfect... Normal people like redemption and benefit of doubt for characters they believe deserve 2nd chances
There is nothing wrong with that
There is a reason why people don't relate like this with any other characters from either Mahabharatam or Ramayanam in terms of redemption or 2nd chances
Oh yes! Karna the invincible, who fled the battlefield during the Ghoshayatra while Duryodhana was captured by Gandharvas, leaving Arjuna to step in and save them. Not to mention the Virata war where Arjuna defeated him alone. Also Karna was defeated by Satyaki, Abhimanyu too...
She's not from the mountains! She's from Mithila in the plains, princess of the Videha Janapada. Wish people knew ancient geography! Of course our Vaidehi wore royal jewelry. The issue is costume styling not the presence of jewelry.
Kamandaka is criminally underrated in Indian political thought. He took Kautilya’s raw realpolitik and adapted it into a refined, morally restrained statecraft manual including a fascinating critique of royal hunting....

Just because Indian wedding for you means 7 day long Rajshri Productions doesn’t mean no other culture exists in India. The pic depicted is not Haldi ceremony. This is a Mithila wedding ritual called “Chumaan”.
5 women from bride’s side take haldi, dahi, Doon grass, rice husk in both fists and touch the groom 4 times - feet, knees, shoulders, head: It is repeated for bride too at two occasions.
Next time : spend more time learning about ur Hindu and variations before jumping like a popcorn.

currently working on making a HUGE thread with all the evidence of a coordinated smear campaign against Taylor with pretty big allegations if true.. 👀
hype me up because this has to go BIG
Freight Equalization led to a massive drain of eastern resources to the already industrialized west, and those regions bore the brunt of Naxalism. Plus Arabian Sea ports offered quicker access to primary trade partners in the Gulf and Europe leaving eastern infrastructure lagging
