I really like what the poster above me said ^^^
My favorite character is Karna. he was greatest daanveer no one in the world can be equal/surpass him. even god himself came to him and begged for his Kavach and Kundals for alm.
Also he is was one of the greatest warriors. great archer like arjuna, follower of dharma like Yudhishtir, handsome like nakul and sahdev, powerful like Bhima. He defeated Bhima after long and intense battle. He spared those four pandavas because of a promise to his mother Kunti. karna's son were died by pandavas and yet Karna spared all the pandavas. what a great man he was. Karna's wife wanted him to kill those pandavas that killed her sons but Karna said no and he couldn't tell the reason.
the only way to kill Karna was deceition. it shows arjuna's inability to kill Karna. Karna troubled arjuna in Kurushetra war. of course Arjuna defeated Karna in Virata war. The virata war nothing compared to Kurushetra war. during virata war, bhisma, drona, kripa didn't want to harm their dear arjuna. in kurushetra war, everyone was enemy, forgetting their relation. Karna cheated once and Arjuna cheated twice.
karna killed abhimanyu by cheating
Arjuna killed Pitamah by using Shikandi and He killed Karna when he was weaponless.
Bhima defeated jarasandh by lord krishna's help. before that, Karna battled with jarasandh and he single handedly defeated jarasandh. Also karna was the first one to expose jarasandh's weakness.
Drapadi was the worse one....what a self-obessessed, arrogant woman. people say she was a panchkanya, a purest woman. I don't consider her as a pure woman.....how can a woman that insulted karna by saying "sutaputra" and duryodhan " a blind son of a blind dad". didn't she have any idea to reject Karna in respectful way. such women can't be pure.
There is one greatness of karna...even lord krishna praised.....during the battle, arjuna pushed karna's chariot 10 steps back....Karna pushed arjuna's rath two step back....Krishna was impressed and he began to praise karna...Arjuna was stunned and asked why he was praising karna...krishna said
Arjuna...I am a god that preserves the entire universe and I am the heaviest man and on one can shake me but Karna managed to do it. ..remeber there was another god sitting on arjuna's chariot. ...it was Hanuman who was protecting arjuna from the deadly arrows of Pitamah, Drona and karna....Karna shook two gods "Krishna and Hanuman" at the same time....he was the greatest and powerful warrior.
this proves karna was the greatest warrior......he had many good qualities
1) powerful warrior
2) great loyalty
3) daanveer
