Was Karna really a victim of fate, circumstances, and injustice or did his own choices shape the destiny he ultimately faced? In this episode, we take a closer look at Karna beyond the popular image of the tragic, misunderstood hero. From his loyalty to Duryodhana and his rivalry with Arjuna to his choices, ambitions, and moments of moral conflict, we explore the uncomfortable questions surrounding one of the Mahabharata’s most debated characters. Featuring Ami Ganatra, this conversation goes beyond the familiar retellings to examine what the Mahabharata actually tells us about Karna and whether the way we see him today is truly justified. #Mahabharata #Karna #AmiGanatra #IndianHistory #Mahabharat #KarnaStory
