When does staying loyal become a failure of dharma?
Karn is one of the most tragic figures in the Mahābhārat—not because he lacked virtue, but because he never revised his loyalty.
Born with divine power and denied legitimacy, Karn grows into a warrior defined by gratitude, honor, and unwavering commitment. When the world finally offers him recognition, it comes at the cost of aligning with an unjust cause—and Karn refuses to change course, even when the truth is undeniable.
In this episode, we explore:
Karn’s life and role in the Mahābhārat
How loyalty becomes identity—and then a trap
The difference between honor and dharma
Why gratitude without judgment can sustain injustice
Kṛṣṇa's offer, Karn’s refusal, and the cost of moral rigidity
Karn’s story asks an uncomfortable question for leaders, warriors, and anyone who has ever felt excluded.
