CULTURAL QA 05202428 Q4 Did Abhimanyu die an unfair death, or did he die in a fair mace fight with Dushasana's son?
Q Vlad, Lives in India Apr 7 By unfair if you mean, group attacking or surrounding a warrior there's nothing unfair in that. KR Hence I say not to copy from kids. If there is a fair warfare, why Arjuna shall take it with so much of anger? For a kshatriya dying in the field is only a honour as told by Krishna in Chap 2 B G. What kind of armour was there with Abhimanyu in the last? He writes both had armour. And in the beginning war conditions of those days mentioned; are u aware of, any one of them? I shall write original Bharatham for you to read only so those who feel classified data shall know where did you go wrong. Anyhow you will not understand anything as usual. And boldness to state openly an error message , where the whole world speaks differently; courageous indeed. Q5 Why did Jains adopt the Gujarati culture despite the fact that they are ethnically Biharis? Q PS: I tried ignoring this question for 2–3 days. However kept feeling that there is unnecessary regionalism in our country today. Let’s not look at our differences. Let’s celebrate our Unity in Diversity rather. KR A lie becomes a truth when written after the conversations of Jains to brahmin and vice versa, written by me yesterday, read over as hangover on google. Even then the opening phrase says it is flawed so could have been held there itself. But Dinathanthi speaks only like that so that it tries to justify, as a film producer, justifies the Rape in the film. About this I shall write separately as a Jain had written a book who is a leading Guru in their sect which I have; unity in diversity if practiced, open shall no write or support jihadis also but…….I always write the Vedas and religion as recalled and does not copy and paste from Quora a gossip.
