Book review
The Mahabharata is a gallery of heroes and Karna is the most heroic of them. Fate denied him all his duties but he fought and achieved all that a man could aspire to have. He was as much a Pandava prince as any of the other five, but never knew his lineage. At last when he knew, he could not but disown it. He was brought up as a commoner and therefore humiliated. Teachers would not teach him. His equals shunned him. He received no honour despite his valour but he never lost heart. Duryodhana, the Kaurava prince offered him kingship. For this act of kindness he remained loyal to Duryodhana till the very end.
