I haven't read any western sources.

 

Lot of MB characters are grey but are punished for their bad behaviours. Devavrata, Drona,Karna, Dhritarashtra all of them.

 

Instead Yudhisthira is the only Pandava to descend to heaven 

 

 

All those Kauravas( Bheeshma along with others )and Karna, Drona died in war so went straight to heaven.

 

Yudhisthira is the only one who ascends to heaven while he was alive in human form.Once he reaches there he meets his brothers and draupadi.

Cuz lord krishna said who ever dies in this battleground he picked would go to heaven. But does duryodan, shakuni deserves heaven? Hmmmm no!.

It is not just Lord krishna, it was there for Ravana too, he also after getting killed went to heaven according to Ramayana.So did all his sons.

 

Duryodhana was not evil to others, (he gave half of his kingdom to his friend Karna) his only fight was against Pandavas.He was born to Dhritarashtra who despite being the eldest son never got the throne as he was blind.He felt Pandavas did not deserve to become kings as they were born to younger son and he had a point.

 

People underestimate Karna, he knew he was the eldest Pandav but never staked claim for the throne.If he did that they would be no mahabharta.

 

Mahabharta is so complex with so many complex characters.It is rightly called fifth veda as it teaches about life, politics , the more you read Mahabharta the more deeper it takes you to understand the true meaning of life.

Yes that was the last peace effort by Lord Krishna. But in his arrogance, Duryodhana rejected it and paid the price.

Or if Shantanu didn’t marry Sataywati and agree to her terms, none of this would have happened and Bhisma would have been the rightful king of Hastinapur.
