Mahabharata Case Study

About 3000 years ago, when a dharamyudh called 'Mahabharata' happened, Krishna never thought how much it would affect the present day, which is the 21st century. The Mahabharata seems to have happened because of so many reasons like Draupdicheerharan, Shakuni's spite towards both - his sister’s husband Dhritrastraand Bhishm, who was responsible for his sister’s marriage with a blind man like Dhritrashtra and the ego of Duryodhan who wanted to be superior to everyone. But the fact is that Krishna, The Hindu god was the sole mastermind behind it. He wanted to make a revolutionary change in Dharm (Religion) which was getting dirty day by day because of mindless people likeShakuni and Duryodhan.
