Reading Notes: The Five Tall Sons of Pandu Part B

Bibliography:
The Indian Story Book: The Five Tall Sons of Pandu by Richard Wilson found here

Plot Points:
  • The war is the majority of the second half.
  • Arjuna's bow breaks in the war fighting Karna.
  • The 5 brothers learn of Karna being their brother after the war is over. (What would have happened if the brothers had met Karna at the beginning of their exile?)
  • Ends with the kingdom united through mourning Drona and Bhisma and Karna.

A Story idea:
Wanting to prevent full out war, the brothers issue a challenge in one on one combat to determine the winner.
