Karna: Tragic Fate of the Son of the Sun!

One character from the Mahabharat who, despite having fought on the side of injustice and treachery, never fails to evoke empathy and compassion among readers, is Karna. Karna was a slave to fate, someone who had injustice done to him his whole life, for no fault of his. He was the son of Lord Surya and Kunti, then a young princess. Therefore, he was also known as Suryaputra, or Son of the Sun. Kunti had received a boon from Rishi Durvasa that she could call upon any God who would be compelled to appear before her and grant her a son. The unmarried Kunti looked out the window, saw the setting sun, and in youthful impatience, called upon Lord Surya, who immediately appeared before her and gave her a beautiful baby boy, glowing like the sun, and born with an impenetrable golden armour and gold earrings. That baby was Karna. Terrified of the backlash from society for being an unwed mother, Kunti kept the baby Karna inside a basket and sent it floating down the holy River Ganga. Karn was then adopted and raised by a childless couple, the charioteer Adhirath and his wife, Radha. Karna was equally devoted to his adoptive parents and proudly called himself Radheya, or son of Radha. Since charioteers were considered to be of lowly birth, Karna, despite being the son of a God and a Kshatriya princess, was treated like someone belonging to a lower caste all his life. Even Dronacharya, the great martial arts guru and teacher of the Pandava and Kaurava brothers who belonged to the higher Kshatriya or warrior caste, refused to train Karna because he was only a charioteer’s son. Driven by his desire to become a great warrior, Karna approached Lord Parshuram, pretending to be a poor Brahmin. Parshuram agreed and Karna became proficient in the art of warfare, particularly archery. One day, Parshuram was taking a nap, leaning against His young ward, when Karna was bitten on his leg by an insect. The young Karna was in great pain and bleeding profusely, but did not move or scream, to avoid waking up his guru. When Parshuram arose and saw the blood on Karna’s legs, He knew that Karna was not a Brahmin, and deduced that he was of Kshatriya birth, something even Karna did not know at the time, because only a Kshatriya could withstand such agony. Parshuram’s age-old hatred for the Kshatriya race resurfaced. He could have killed Karna there itself, but He had grown fond of His talented ward, so He cursed Karna that he would forget all that he had learned when he most needed it. Duryodhan, the eldest Kaurava, befriended Karna and even made him King of Anga to give him a little respectability. Duryodhan, who was evil, power-hungry and ruthless, did this because he knew of Karna’s prowess as an archer and his great rivalry with the Pandava Arjun, and wanted Karna on his side in case of war. The noble Karna was aware of Duryodhan’s true nature, but his sense of loyalty and obligation was so great, that he could not forsake the only man who had treated him with some respect. Soon, the great Kurukshetra war became imminent. Lord Indra, the king of the Devas and father of Arjun, knew that no weapon could breach the divine golden armour that Karna was born with. He also knew that Karna would definitely kill his greatest rival, Arjun. To protect his son, Indra came to Karn at daybreak one day disguised as a beggar, when Karn was praying, knowing that the generous Karna would never refuse anyone anything. He asked Karna to hand over his protective armour and gold earrings. Karna willingly cut them off from his body and handed them over to Indra, thereby making himself vulnerable to attack. Finally, on the battlefield one day, when Karna and Arjun were doing battle, Karna’s chariot wheel became stuck in the mud. He kept his bow and arrow inside the chariot and got down to remove the stuck chariot wheel. At that point, Lord Krishna, who was Arjun’s charioteer, ordered Arjun to shoot his arrow at Karna, breaking a rule of war which prohibited a warrior from attacking an unarmed opponent. Thus died the brave, valiant Karna, a man of great ability and prowess, but who became an unfortunate victim of circumstance!
