he had no problem in kidnapping AAA. he had no problem in indirectly forcing gandhari to marry the blind dhrit. then why he had problem if gandhari was a widow first ?
if gandhari was a widow then even dhrit was blind. fair deal isnt it ?
why is it that the groom can have any defects but the bride should always be perfect for him ?
bheeshma and his false ego is the root cause of all the problems.
devi ganga gives life to everyone and washes their sins. then how can her own son be like this ?
First and foremost, Bheesma didn't force, directly or indirectly to marry off Gandhari to Dhritarashtra.. He made a low key visit to GAndhar as per the epic and did not go with his army as depicted in this serial. The Gandhar family, out of their fear or greed, accepted the alliance.
Thirdly, that Shakuni and his family was highly mistreated by Bheesma or Duryodhan is part of the folklore. Nothing is written in Vedvyas Mahabharat - at least I am not aware of.
Thirdly, this Amba story was again twisted a lot in this serial-
Amba and Shalva were in a relationship and they should not have been part of the Swayambar as the mach was already fixed!! Anyways,
when Amba was kidnapped by Bheesma she could not tell about her affair, but when she reached Hastinapur she told the truth. This whole retaliation in the Swayambar was made by CVs.
Vichitravirya, when learnt about her affair, refused to marry her and Amba was then returned to Prince Shalva. Prince Shalva refused to accept her as it was not the custom to touch a woman who has been
won by someone else and he does not need any donation from the Kuru family.
So in a way, she was wronged by two men - Bheesma and Shalva but she chose to take revenge on Bheesma only as he created the situation.
Amba, asked Bheesma to marry her to give back her honor. Caught between breaking his vow and giving justice to Amba, Bheesma decided not to break his vow. Amba then went to different other rulers and sages to give punishment to Bheesma, but no one could help her. Finally she went to Bheesma's guru,Parashuram to get justice. Parashuram agreed that Amba has been wronged and asked Bheesma to meet him.
Ganga knew what is going to happen, so she asked Bheesma to marry Amba so that Parashuram doesn't fight with him and kill him. But Bheesma was ready to be killed than to be break his vow. He did not listen to Parashu when he was asked to marry Amba. So the sage asked him to fight.
But the catch was Bheesma had the boon of dying as per his wish. So the battle was inconclusive and Narada had to intervene to save the earth from this unending battle. Then Amba made the
tapasya and got boon from Shiva that she would punish Bheesma in her next birth.
She was born as Shikandi in Drupad's family and Bheesma knew the real identity of Shikandi. Bheeesma revealed the entire incident to one of the Kauravas just few days before his death and then when on the 10th day, Shikandi appeared before him, he put down his weapons and got ready to be shot by Arjun.
