'Satyug' Mahabharata VS 'Kalyug' Mahabharata

Yesterday me and my husband were watching news and guess what was coming: the same old politics, the fight between Nation and corruption! Not me, guess everybody is fed up… and suddenly my husband commented that “Doesn’t it all looks like Mahabharata!”

I was like yeahhh, actually!

And then as usual, my mind started working on how and who in different politicians fit in what role of Mahabharata. It was little tough but I somehow managed to draw a reasonable diagonal between the two!

Ok, lets start the comparison. So we will discuss the first and the most important character of this great Epic: Dharatrastra! Now guess who amongst all our capable politicians matches the character of this this blind king? Ahhhhh….. According to me, its none other than Sonia Gandhi! Yes, just think about it for 2 mins and you will definitely be able to create a strong bridge between the two! Well, here I will just say that Dharatrashtra was blinded by birth and Sonia Gandhi has been blinded due to power! But both are blinded in the love of their sons!And just doesn’t care about anybody in front of their son’s future and dream!

2^nd Character in Mahabharat, not very important but still who has a role to play and without which Mahabharata wouldn’t have been what its now! And its Gandhari: Dhratrastra’s wife! She had blinded herself because she wanted to go through the same pain which her husband was going through. So, guess this character can very well be played by Mr Manmohan singh who has made himself blind because of his highness: Madam Sonia Gandhi! Do I need to say anything more?

3^rd main character of Mahabharata is Shakuni. There was only one Shakuni in Mahabharata, but here there are uncountable Shakunis and yes, our new age Shakunis are much cleverer than our old witty and sharp Shakuni! But still if I have to name one then guess it will be any one of our cabinet ministers.

4^rd character which comes in line is Duryodhana. Now, again its so so difficult to name any one of our great politicians which matches to the greatest negative character of this great Epic. I mean now come on, if I say Kalmadi matches to Dhuryodhana, will not Raja feel bad? Because even he had given his best to bring bring our India’s honor down… The same way Dhuryodhan did with Draupdi in front of everyone!

When anyone of them takes the role of Duryodhan, the rest of our leaders automatically start playing the role of other 99 brothers of him.

Now you would be thinking what actually Rahul Gandhi represents to! Well, guess he represents to nothing, nothing at all! No character in Mahabharata has been so incapable, so useless, so ineffective as our great Amul baba!

So, this was the story of Kaurvas…

I really do not have the competence to search the people who can match to the characters of Pandavas. Sorry, guess nobody so capable is there around. May be in future we will get our pandavas.

But yes I definitely know who plays the role of Draupadi whose clothes were torn off in public by Dhuryodhan… Its no doubt our country! Its being ripped off almost every min, every sec by these selfish leaders who think that they have won this land and they can do whatever they want to do with it! The same way Kauravas won Draupdi from pandavas and thought her to be their property!

But ok lets take a small take on Pandavas as well… In the current situation, the place of Pandavas can be taken by Arvind Khejriwal and team. And may be Sri Krishna who was a guider in Mahabharata can be Anna Hazare!!

So, guess we all who are witnessing this whole episode of corruption, dishonesty and fraud in our government can claim that we have been viewers of the Mahabharta of Kalyug! What say???

Anyways, keep smiling and lets see what comes next? Who wins and who gets defeated at the end. There is only and only one concern that in real Mahabharata many innocent people lost their lives. Hope it doesn’t happen in our Mahabharata…
