Another week of digging through Mahabharata and discovering perspectives of lesser known protagonists .
Here comes Yuyutsu – the half brother of Duryodhana , who chose side of Pandavas on that deadly war on Kurukshetra .
Son of a king and a maid rises from rags to throne of Hastinapura . He chose side of Dhrama (this is a different discussion altogether – what was Dharma ) on the eventful day of the start of the war , with the intention of surviving the war as he knew which side would eventually lose , saw progenies of hastinapura perishing on both the sides .
Tormented with thoughts all his life which side he should have chosen – the blood , the dharma or was he having intention to carry the lineage of Dhritarashtra . World sees what you want to show – famous line from this piece reverberates in the life of Yuyutsu throughout .
This story is what someone went through all his life , the humiliation ,the protector of a throne , a son who played his games to carry the lineage of his father , a never before successor world had seen – this is YUYUTSU with all his wisdom and perseverance .
This is last Kaurava standing !!
