Karan
Karan is a very sad character in Mahabharat (Indian religious book).
He was a son of Sun God.
But he was treated as a lower caste untouchable though he was a kshatriya. He used to look at the Sun whenever he was insulted.
He was very ambitious and went for archery training from a Guru. But Guru misunderstood him and cursed him that at the climax moment he would forget what he studied and learnt. He also got a curse that his chariot will be grounded at climax moment. So he committed sin and got curses.
As he was a lower caste fellow he was not given opportunity to fight with Arjun. Though he was a great archer like Arjun.
He was politicized whether to join Kauravas or Pandavas. Finally, Duryodhan was pleased with his skills and crowned him as a member of the Kaurav royal empire. He was happily married too.
He was also a great donor. He donated everything he had.
He had an affinity towards snakes. He had an arrow which was snake-studded and it was extremely powerful.
He showed his mirth & power in the battle of kurukshetra. Finally, he faced Arjun and fought bravely. He used his snake-arrow but due to the expertise of Lord Sri Krishna, this failed. Due to his sin and curse, he forgot his skills. His chariot was grounded at the climax moment. He was helpless and then he was beheaded by Arjun’s arrow.
Karan was indeed an unforgettable character of Mahabharat.
I like Karan as I have many professional similarities with him.
