A great start Ankita. I had no idea that the narrative started in this way. I also like your synthesis of the message and connection to individual choices to create a better world. I look forward to learning more .

Ankita I absolutely loved the retrospective narrative starting from Arjun’s grandson. Teaches a great lesson of ‘as you sow , so shall you reap’. Please keep writing

Nice reading your story Ankita. But then Krishna also advised Arjun to pick up arms against his own kin when injustice crossed a limit. So forgiveness also does not work always.

Thank you so much for your feedback. One purpose of this blog is to understand the various perspectives and interpretations these stories develop. The Mahabharata advocates the law of karma and discusses the various options that a human being has when faced with such dilemmas. Krishna's advice to Arjuna varies from situation to situation. I plan to discuss these further on this journey. Please accompany me further as a reader. Really appreciate and value your inputs. :)

Thank you Didi. I have released the second story too. For reference purposes, I have included the family tree of the characters and I will continue to do so in the upcoming stories too. I hope that will help bring clarity. Thanks again for your wonderful feedback. It helps me recognize and improve upon the areas I am lacking.

Lord Krishna encouraged Arjuna to uphold dharma. Arjuna did exactly that.

Multipronged strategy is required to fight injustice which includes hard measures too.

I became intrigued after reading the first episode and can't wait for more! The story was narrated in an incredibly engaging manner, with excellent word choice and flow. This knowledge is quite helpful to someone like me who doesn't know enough about the Mahabharata. Kudos Ankita for taking this step! ✨💛

If Astika could halt a millennia-old vendetta, what's stopping us from ending today's feuds?
