Nice discussion going on. But my point is would Panchal + Pandavas in laws army defeat Bheeshm and Drona? Yes both these people were killed due to the help of Panchal princes but still it was Bheeshm who gave Pandavas the idea that he wouldn't kill Shikhandi, would he do that to Panchal army?? In highly doubt. With Bheeshm in their side and no Arjun to counter, Kaurav army was nearly unbeatable.
Drona laid down his weapons and went into mourning because Yudhishtir told him that Ashwathama had died, with Yudhishtir on their side and without this planning, would he believe Dhristdhyumn that his son was dead and give him the chance for his Vadh?? I highly doubt it.
Panchal army did defeat Kauravas but it didn't include Drona and Bheeshm. Panchal warriors and even Satyaki were no match for them, with Arjun on their side (even non participating) the opposite party didn't have any match for them. Yes Krishna could have been an active participant there. But again Narayani Sena would have been split.
I feel that the dice game was the best bet for the Kauravas. Had they planned strategically, once Draupadi declared that she wasn't a slave since she was staked after Yudhishtir lost himself, they should have said that if they go with that consideration, then Panchali was an unmarried woman since a free woman can not be the wife of a slave. Considering her an unmarried woman, Dushashan got her (an unmarried woman) forcefully from her chamber to the royal court, so this would count as a Har Vivah, hence as per Dharma, Draupadi should be formally married to Dusshashan, if not then Draupadi is their slave and they can even order for her disrobe.
Going by the kind of people in the court, they would have quickly agreed for the marriage option.
Then it would have be a win win them, Pandavas their slaves and Panchal their in law so in their team, agreed Krishna and few Pandava in laws could have been against, but Krishna didn't have the complete Yadav support with Balram ji not in favour of going against Kauravas
You know Pandavas were doomed if it wasn't for Draupadi, She is responsible for their finance and themselves, They should have been more grateful to her than Yudhishtira asking her to put up with advances of that dude in King's court.
It sucks how someone like Draupadi has been reduced to Suta Putra and andhe ka beta andha comment, Will the masses ever get to know the real story?
The dyut Sabha scene is more of Cheer Haran scene where Krushna saves her and Every show I have seen heavily promoted it, I just wish they'd actually show what happened
