The presentation will brief you about the mistakes made by Karna in epic story of mahabharata and will give a reason why he was killed

1. Was Karna ethical in the epic
story of Mahabharata

2.  Karna was eldest of all Pandavas but he was born before the
marriage of Kunti and Pandu. He was born with the tez of surya
narayan. Considering the society and her own future Kunti did not
accepted Karna. She deposits her child in a basket and left near the
river shore.
 Karna was brought up by Adhiratha and Radha. (Radha brought up
Karna as her son and hence Karna is also known as Radheya. As he
was brought up by these low caste parents, Karna is also known as
Sut-Putra.

3.  The Karna grew up as a very powerful and generous adult. He was
having keen interest to learn Dhanurvidya. But as he was born in a
low cast family he was restricted.
 Karna was against the old mentality of people and never let his
interest buried beside of several criticism
 Karna went to Dronacharya to learn but Guru Dronacharya
disagreed to teach.
 Karna challenged Arjun by saying “Every body will see who is
going to be a better Dhanurdhar and also challenged for final battle

5.  None of the guru was ready to teach karna an he was sut putra. At
last karna asked Parshuram and, Parshuram enquired about his cast.
he told Brahmin and started learning .
 After several years of teaching to Karna, Parshuram came to knew
about his orignal cast.
 In anger Parshuram said this to karna “in future a time will come
when you will loose all your learning and nothing will help you”
 Krishana verdict :
Main goal of learning should be there to work for society rather then
learning to take revenge for own self. One should have learnt to
chance the social conditions.

6.  Karna knew about the planning of Duryodhan to burn all pandawas
along with Kunti in Varnawart. He knew it was unethical but
boundation of friendship stopped him. He had not informed any
one and led it happen.
 Krishna verdict:
 People commit unethical acts when the atmosphere around him is
full of unethical sources. It is oneself decission to choose ethical or
un ethical strata.

7.  Karna always gives DAAN to poor peoples and try to enhance their
well being. But once he had left his position of Raja of ANGH. No
any Brahmin accepted his daan and said you are not a king you are
Sut putra we cannot accept anything from you
 Krishna verdict:
 Situation of cast and criticism is painful and should be violated but,
one have to take lead and work to change society rather then
thinking about his own grief.

8.  During the cheer haran of Draupadi Kanra commented “ Jo stri 5
patio k sath rehti ho use vaishya kehte h”. He had not done anything
to stop and became the part of that unjustifiable act.
 Krishna verdict:
 One person doesnot know the conditions behind a act, it is unethical
to comment. Women are ment to be respected and it most ethical to
restrict any unfair means.

9.  Abhimanyu was clustered around in a trap by Duryodhan,
Aswathama, Dronachary, Dursashan and Karna. Duryodhan
,Aswathama and Durshashan stabbed Abimanyu for all day long and
gave as much maximum pain they can give him without killing.
 Krishna verdict:
 Creating a trap and giving the enormous pain to a boy(15 yrs old)
who was not having weapon to fight. what kind of ethical practice it
was

10.  Kauravas planned to take the help of takshak to kill Arjuna. Karna
was against it as he said that he is capable of killing Arjuna but he
was forced by Sakuni and Duryodhan to endorse that unfair means
 Krishna verdict:
One should be confident and never be influenced by anyone
whatever may be the circumstances and take the decisions that best
suits him.

11.  There was no doubt that Karna was a better yodha then anyone else but
the mission of life shoud not be there to fight against his own destiny
rather then making a change for whole society.
 Knowledge only accounts if it is taken to achieve some thing fruitful for
society not for revenge.
 Friendship is an important part of life but not at the cost of others life.
One have to see both the faces of coins and acknowledge the conditions.
 Krishna said Agar chal kaa asray dharm hai to “CHAL BHI DHARMA
HAI”
 Sometime things are done to achieve long term goal and objective so,
according to the situation action should be there
