🔥 A Friendship Beyond Boundaries
Karna, born with divine strength but abandoned at birth, was often mocked for his unknown origins. Despite being a warrior of unmatched skill, he was humiliated at Draupadi’s swayamvar and denied entry into the ranks of Kshatriyas.
But one man saw Karna’s true potential—Duryodhana. Instead of looking at his birth, Duryodhana gave him a kingdom, respect, and unwavering friendship.
⚔️ Karna’s Greatest Sacrifice
Karna’s loyalty to Duryodhana went beyond personal gain. Even after learning that he was the eldest Pandava, he chose friendship over the throne. When Krishna himself offered him a chance to rule, Karna refused, saying:
"Duryodhana stood by me when the world mocked me. How can I betray my friend now?"
