...Karna-Duryodhana~ A Bond of Friendship ~...

 ...Karna-Duryodhana~ A Bond of Friendship ~...

There are some relations in life that we chose ourselves..

These relations sometime surpass our blood relations..

We call them Friends..

Karna -

" He held my hand in

darkest corner of my life..

When people were all ruthlessly

disgracing my very presence..

He came and stood tall before those ..

Claiming me as his own..

When society abandoned...He gave refuge...

When they ridiculed...insulted...

He gave respect..."

Duryodhana-

"When surrounded with outcomes of my own deeds,

I looked around and found the one..

who stood behind selflessly..

 only for me...

He became my armour..

when the ones around me

showered blessings to my enemies 

to get me killed.. "

One is seen as the Anti Hero and other as Villain.. One who got into wrong path with wrong company just in urge of respect that society never gave him...the Other who got into doing wrong for fulfilling ambitions that were never his ..Misguided they were yet bonded through their fate in a sacred bond called friendship.. 

Karna was fighting battle with his own brothers and was fighting already knowing that he will loose and die in the end just for a friend whom he could not leave at any cost..He battled himself and came on field..as an armour to protect and keep a promise to a friend..

The other one Duryodhana- a man who perhaps never considered any relations in his life as sacred as his friendship ..for whom his ambitions overpowered ..his hatred ..overpowered even his sensibilities ,his reasoning of right and wrong... Isnt it strange that  tears did came out of a heartless man for a friend..a friend who seemed more closer than anyone.. who gave him hope ..who gave him a shoulder ... He did one Dharma in his life.. and that earned him a true faithful friend in karna..

Just a small tribute to a friendship often not regarded that much..

The poetry is simply awesome

I always admire their friendship..its epic nothing can be as beautiful as that, but it was destroyed by star bharat..so I quit the show..but now they are showing..thank god

They are regarded as Villains in the epic..

But Karna was never regarded Villain I guess..

a man who perhaps never considered any relations in his life as sacred 

 Duryadhan was considered a great King, son, husband, friend and also enemy..the Gods from heaven showered flower on his dead body coz he played all these roles successfully... 

Thankz a lot for PM

And please don't get me wrong that I quoted two lines of from your post and said something..actually I admire Durydhan for some his great qualities...which the great people of the epic lacked during some situations..

Duryadhan is described as Mahdev's Varputra he cannot be a complete Villain... if one thinks with open mind he/she would realize..a person was considered a particular God's son beacuse some his traits matches with that God..Look at Karna his purity, power, forgiving, donation without think mathces the trait of Sun..

It's the pure energy

The most powerful star for the earth

For sunlight we are safe, we are here

it gives light selflessly 

you would find various unique qualities of Duryadhan also, Mahdev's varputra was the clue that he at the end of the day was not completely evil

I think he was atheist and open minded that's why considered Adharmi. I am not supporting the Vastrharan part at all..

But every character in the epic is flawed...  

Wonderful post

Thankz for dedicating the post to me, I am blushing already

Your post brought tears in my eyes...

don't believe Karna was villain of MB n Duryadhana was at the losing side .. the leader of the losing side .. hence he became the villain of the story 

One who got into wrong path with wrong company just in urge of respect that society never gave him.

when its the question of RESPECT .. JUST don't fit it in anyway .. RESPECT HONOR is the biggest thing for what humankind has battled forever .. If it was a matter of "JUST" then neither there was any Freedom revolution of India nor Black revolution in US, slave revolution in Rome .. n the list never ends  

As per Chanakya 

"adhamaa dhnamishshhanti dhana.n maana.n cha madhyamaaH 
uttamaa maanamichchhanti mane hi mahataa.n dhanam" 

Evil people wish for only wealth, whereas average people wish for wealth and fame. noble people wish for fame as only fame is their wealth. 

Karna fought for achieving the HONOR he DESERVES ... I believe Duryadhana's battle was for the same .. he wanted what he believed was his .. [well he was not totally wrong] .. moreover his father was wronged n unjustly kept away from the Right of Throne .. so from the childhood Duryadhana knew the truth .. if your right is not given to you naturally .. snatch it

Both of these was struggling to get their position they "DESERVE" in society .. I agree they did go wrong several times .. well every human goes .. even popularly believed heroes did the same 

these two stood by each other .. the bonding has its source from same goal .. two struggling people can really be good friends .. Karna-Duryadhana became Best friends in a way that people will remember for ages 

Thankfully finally Star realized the friendship of karna-Duryadhana was real .. n thanks Riti for making a post on it ..
