Gaurav the writer#

Once I was asked about my favorite mythological ideals. Without much consideration and second thought I named, Karna from Mahabharta and Bharat from Ramayana. Karna was obvious to many to guess because of his virtues but very few were fully aware of the character of Bharat. Practically I don’t blame them. We are born and raised in a country where people of second fiddle are less important than main lead. The protagonists are often shown larger than life and other characters are often given less importance. The veteran and very talented writer of that time Ved Vyas did justice with every character and gave due weight-age to everyone. However, the irony of such an epic that hindu families consider it a bone of contention if kept at home. But prefer to keep another equally talented writers mythological and holy book of Ramayna. Indian families do not stop here only but every now and then preach and expect their children to follow the path of Dharma and become second Rama. What
