Episode 5b – The Word of God, Deed of Man – (Part 3) - Historical India Podcast


Listen Later

We pick up at the Rajasuya and then watch things go down hill for Yudhishtra and the Pandavas.  After 13 years, things come to a head and it’s all out war. But in the end, it doesn’t feel like a win.
Is the Mahabharata a commentary and appeal against the changes in society that were taking place in Ancient India?  The kings were being questioned but they don’t go away. We end with the last named king who links back to a misty past and maybe also to kings yet to come.
