Mahabharata- Draupadi's Disrespect And Bhishma's Keeping Quite

By: cdmohatta

In Mahabharata the Kauravs invited Pandavas for dice play. Pandavas lost everything including Draupadi in the dice play. After that Dushashana brought in Draupadi to the hall and wanted to disrobe her in front of all. That time Draupadi called upon all the elders sitting in the hall including Bhishma to save her. None of them got up. They all kept quite. That was a sin committed by Bhishma.

Bhishma has been depicted as a man of principals. When he found out that his father was in love with a girl, he vowed that he would never marry. Bhishma never married in his life. That was his character. Though he could have rightfully become the king and get married he gave it all away for his father's happiness. It was a huge sacrifice.

Bhishma knew all about what is right and what is wrong. But even then he did not stop or even try to prevent the dice play. After that when the Pandavas lost, he never said that it was all wrong and the dice play was manipulated. But the worst came when he kept silent while Dushashana was trying to disrobe Draupadi. Draupadi was a lady from his own family - The wife of his grandsons. It was his duty to get up and stop all what happened. But he kept quite. As a result during the great war, Bhishma was hurt and wounded beyond description. He waited for sun to change its direction and suffered alone in the battlefield with all the arrows stuck in his body. He must have suffered immense pain.


But the law of karma does not leave anybody. Bhishma suffered all this because he did not try to defend a defenseless woman. He should have got up and put a stop to disrobing and punished all the Kauravas. He did nothing of that kind. That was his blunder.
