Dharmayuddha (Marathi Edition)

THE REALISTIC STORY OF GREAT TRAGIC HERO OF MAHABHARATA: KARNA THE WARRIOR. THE GREAT INDIAN EPIC MAHABHARATA IS A DEEPLY ROOTED SAGA IN EVERY INDIAN SOLE. THERE ARE SO MANY CHARACTERS IN MAHABHARATA BUT THE CHARACTER OF GREAT WARRIOR KARNA IS HIGHLY CAPTIVATING CHARACTER WHO APPEALS THE READERS AND AS WELL AS CREATIVE ARTISTS ALL THE TIME. THE KARNA BELONGED TO ROYAL FAMILY, THOUGH HE FACED HUMILIATION IN HIS WHOLE LIFE. THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE HE FOUGHT WITH ESTABLISHED SOCIAL HIERARCHY OF CASTE SYSTEM AND PROVED HIS ENDEAVOUR. PERHAPS THIS TRAGIC ASPECT OF HIS LIFE ALLURES TO AUTHORS. SO MANY NOVELS, POEMS AND DRAMAS HAVE BEEN WRITTEN ON THIS THEME. STILL THE CHARACTER OF KARNA ATTRACTS THE AUTHORS AND READERS. THE NOVEL DHARMYUDDHA IS A REMARKABLE MASTERPIECE WRITTEN BY DR. RAVINDRA THAKUR WHO PRESENTED THIS STORY TOTALLY IN NEW PERSPECTIVE. WHILE WRITING THE NOVEL DHARMAYUDDHA DR. THAKUR HAS DISCARDED THE ENTIRE MYTHOLOGICAL ELEMENTS INTRUDED IN THIS STORY AND PORTRAYED THE CHARACTER OF KARNA AS A COMMON MAN WHO FOUGHT AGAINST THE HUMILIATION AND ACHIEVES HIS MERIT WHICH HE DESERVES AS A GREAT WARRIOR. EVEN TODAY ALSO SO MANY KARNAS ARE FACING THIS TYPE OF HUMILIATION THAT'S WHY THE STORY OF KARNA IS A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION AND REPRESENTATIVE OF ALL THOSE KARNAS. 'DHARMAYUDDHA' IS AN EVERLASTING CLASSIC STORY OF THIS GREAT HERO KARNA AND IT IS A REMARKABLE ATTEMPT TO PRESENT IT, WHICH IS WELL RECEIVED BY MARATHI READERS AND CRITICS.
