Been watching Mahabharata....

I have been following the recent TV series of “Mahabharata” and it’s been some months now where in its reached the climax stages of this great epic, the war itself. But some how when I watch it a strange sense of depression and meaninglessness engulfs me. What I see in every single episode of it is some strange philosophy being explained to justify the large scale massacre and burning of the dead bodies. Its been shown that once the sun rises all of them get decorated with their best ammunition and acquired powers and abilities and then towards the end when the sun sets and the counches are blown to announce the end of that days war all these great warriors are seen in white burning bodies of their beloved once on either sides. All in the name of “Dharma” when all this blood shed could have been stopped and corrected much earlier. There are so many questions that I feel unanswered. Take for example the moment where in Draupadi was insulted and humiliated in front of so many people and that too people of such huge stature by their experience, wisdom, courage and valor yet no one raised their resentment over the shameless act though every one had the power and ability to stop it then but it seems were bound by some or the other kind of promises.What promise when a woman's self dignity is at stake. Leave alone them what about the Pandavas who without a second thought felt a prey to the viciousness of the Kauravas and let go their pride by keeping their wife as a bet. What meaning does that have and is that a good Dharma and still Pandavas are considered to be the true followers of Dharma. Wonder why such an epic ever happened or did it really happen? May be my little mind does not have the insight of understanding this great epic and the reasons behind all of it.
