no I didn't.i just heard that it was like a fan fiction. I know Gautam Rode was the lead.

But no doubt about it....Mahabharat is probably the greatest epic...I love all the characters..all the princes were so strong and brave men.. and all of them were right according to their own point of view... It was also so sad...brothers fighting each other 😞

hey do you ladies think karna was not like how he’s represented in the shows. All the shows , even 2013 Mahabharat ...shows him as the man who was deprived of his birth right by his mother , and the shows seems to point to him being a better archer than Arjun..and that had Krishna not intervened and had Karn not promised his mother ...Arjun would not have been able to kill him...and that the war Could only be won by the pandavas without Karn..🤷🏻‍♀️...and yes all these shows somehow make karn come out a bigger hero than all the other princes...

Exactly. Karna is heavily whitewashed in all the adaptation in reality he lead a very peaceful life. Was defeated by both arjuna and bhim several times with and without the armour. He was equally involved in all of duryodhan s plan. Infact it is he who use to keep instigating against pandavas from time to time. And he was rude to the kuri elders bhism and vidura.

Earlier I too used to think Karna was like how he is portrayed in TV shows and I used to feel bad for him.Now I hate him after finding out how he is whitewashed.

...was this from the actual Bhagvat Geeta ...where these traits of Karna was shown ? Sorry to sound ignorant...sadly growing up in a western country ...we were limited in our knowledge of our own Indian culture As we were forced to study European history...

Bhagvat gita is a part of Mahabharata. Not the other way round.

There are many manuscripts about Mahabharata found/discovered . It can be broadly classified in two different categories - Northern recension that means the north indian manuscript and Southern recension the south Indian manuscript. These manuscripts were collected and combined into various editions by various scholar/ team of scholars. There are 9 prominent editions from which 6 edition are On NR and 3 on Southern . This broadly can be seen as basic Canon of Mahabharata - they are the calcutta edition , Bombay edition, burdwan edition , Bibek debroy s critical edition, Madras edition , Southern edition, Gorukhpur edition . Northern recension is more famous when it came to translation.

Kishore mohan ganguly was one of the first one to translate this canon into English prose as early as 1896. He mainly used Burdwan edition and bombay edition .his translation id one of the most prominent reference that people read and use as a source. You should start by reading that first

His translation can be easily downloaded in pdf verson or can be read here

Another prominent version today is Bibek debroy s CE sadly free pdf of that version is not available. You can get it on various book sites either as ebool or paperback.

This is the link of Kishore mohan ganguly s version sacred text

Now Mahabharata is broadly divided into 18 major parvas starting from adi parva - which is the begining. And then it goes on

Apart from this translation there are various retellings . Various interpretation by various author scholars etc. But before anything i suggest you read kmg because that is one of the primary source of information on Mahabharata

Don't worry its bit complicated. 😆 But once you start on this beautiful journey it us vast ocean of immense knowledge. As the saying goes- Mahabharata stands for everything that this world is there is nothing in this world which is not there in Mahabharata.
