My most favorite characters are Krishna and Draupadi.

Out of the Pandavas, my favorite has always been Yudhisthira (surprise, right? 😆) and Bhima. I also like Arjuna, but the first two Pandavas are more my favorite.

Well, if people can like Karna, I can like Yudhisthira. 😉 I always felt he was a misunderstood character, and that people never really tried to understand his intentions.

One of my favourite character is also yudhishthira...Now let me explain yudhishthira dilemma...By caste he was kshatrya, thus he cannot disagree to any challenge...by karma he was a Raja he has to make decisions...Again he was the elder brother of his family...
In dice game, he was first reluctant but as his father like figur King Dhritarashtra wanted him to play, he could not go against him...He knew that Shakuni will use some wrong methods but still he played as his elders told him to play...He one by one lost everything, but he cannot stop till his elders does not tell him to stop, each and every time he was defeated he looked to his elders in a hope that they will tell him to stop but alas they were rather being a mere spectator. When he lost himself after loosing his brothers and kingdom, he told shakuni with joined hands that he no more has anything to loose thus the game should be stopped now...But shakuni told him who told you have lost everything still you have panchali, now you need to bet panchali too...Yudhishthira looked at the King and his elders, they were again spectators, with heavy heart he agreed to shakuni to stake his wife...He never knew that his wife would be called to court and will be attemp to disrobe...but irony was that he became a prey and that was his dilemma...

From the point of view of Draupadi : She had a great respect for him, she always cared about him...When Sudeshna (Queen of Virat wanted to curse yudhishthira for he staking his wife at game of dice, then draupadi pleaded to the queen not to do so as yudhishthir was bound by his dharm...She was herself Shree and was bound to be with yudhishthir...

He can be compared as Raja Harishchandra, where Raja Harishchandra sold his wife and son for protecting his words to Rishi Vishwamitra...

never will like yudhisthir..as when one is in dilema one has to weigh the consequences of the decision and then take it...what is more important to save your wife's respect, chastitty or to obey the orders of the elders to just play a dice game? Shree Krishna has killed his own elder his own mama kans to save the people of the village mathura whom kans tortured ...so yudhisthir could not even stop the dice game against the wishes of his elders? pooh!

krishna neeti says at times you have to treat people tit for tat..

Very nice topic and its really difficult to choose as I don't the details of Mahabharat that well. But based on the basic storyline my first favorite would be Krishna. He obviously is the ultimate and as his preachings in Geeta (not that I know the book by heart) are so very apt even in today's world and guides mankind whenever faced with dilemma.

when I read mahavarat the epic one .. I loved Judhistir character a lot .. because of his personality and he was a kind brother and person.. even in the last mahaprasthan he only entered the swarg among all of the pandavas because he was almost without any fault or paap .. .. and I also wanted to be druapadi 😉😳

He had stake his wife after he has bet himself, thus before betting his wife he became a servant and his master was now Duryodhana...Thus during ancient times a master words were enough and no slave can go against his masters...Thus when his master told Yudhishthira to bet his wife, as a dharma of slave he had to agree his master, he did not have any escape to that...His act is not justified at all, as being a husband his dharma is also to protect his wife...Also Draupadi was a queen , a slave cannot bet a queen, this was what Draupadi stressed that How can Yudhishthira bet her when he has already lost himself to Duryodhana...How can a slave bet a queen?
Karna pointed out to Draupadi in contrary, that when her all husbands are slave she is slave automatically, thus even if yudhishthira did not bet her still she was a slave and they can do anything with her...Here Karna in disguise of dharma was justifying there act but still the same was wrong...
Mahabharat is such a pious book which has numerous point of view where a dharma can be adharma...and adharma can be dharma...
Killing of Bhishma was it dharma... No not at all... but again it is dharma as protecting dharma is dharma itself...Killilnd Drona, Killing Satyaki,Killing Karna, Killing Duryodhana was not dharma but protecting dharma and killing adharma is again dharma...So many counter opinion...So in this EPIC no one was perfectly right or wrong, but there was a thin line of wrong and right...

obviously it is krishna for me...n now in this show pretty obvious its gonna be my prince charming shaheer sheikh a.k.a arjun..

Totally agree with Janaki with regards to Karna...don't understand how people hero worship him. I'll give him his dues, he was brave, charitable etc etc but no way was he better than Arjun (as a person). Arjun had respect for women,he would never have done what Karna did during Draupadi's vastra haran. But having said that I don't think much of Yudhistira either...it seems like he enjoyed the fruits of his brother's labour and then made them suffer the repercussions of his mistakes. He was dharmaraj but even Krishna said at times he took dharma to insane levels. I'm not saying he's the only one to blame...but it's easy for him to say "forgiveness is dharma" to someone like Draupadi. Had the tables been turned she would have given anything to save them. Lol this thread should have been titled 'your LEAST favourite character' 😆 because another one I don't like much is Kunti.
Back to topic though my faves are Draupadi, Krishna, Arjun and Abhimanyu.

i like Karna most in mahabarat😛
