The Mahabharata is a great hindu epic since ancient time which is based on the Kurukshetra war and the Kauravas and Pandavas. The epic mainly describes about the war which lead to the formation of the great epic.The epic consists of about 74000 verses alongwith long prose passages.
In the epic there is an event in which Duryodhana invited Yudhishthira for playing a dice game against his uncle Shakuni who was very smart in playing dice game. Yudhishthira accepted the invitation for the game. Shakuni wanted to play with Yudhisthira as he had idea for trapping the Pandavas and all there possessions. Shakuni was playing from the side of Kauravas as he was sure that he will win the game. Although many insisted not to play the game, Yudhishthira still wanted to play the dice game.
As decided the game started and one by one Yudhishthira started to lose but he still continued to play more. As the time commenced one time came when Yudhishthira had lost his state of Indraprasth, wealth, cows, crops and not only this but also he lost his brothers one by one . Whenever Yudhisthira tried to back out, he would be taunted by Shakuni and his family people. Thus through this dubious game, Yudhisthira lost everything to his cousins. After that when he lost every thing to his brothers he had no other option but to bet on himself which also had the same results. Now he lost himself and nothing left to play but then Shakuni and Duryodhana gave them a golden chance which was indeed the biggest trap to make the bet on her beloved and beautiful wife , Draupadi. Although Yudhishthira knew about the intention, he then also kept his wife on stake. With Yudhishthira the same thing happended and lost his wife Draupadi. At this situation the question came by Draupadi that was it possible that after losing onself how can one bet others. The answer is that as he had lost himself there was no other thing left .Moreover he had faith in her wife that she will support and can live with her.
Also he thought that as he has lost everything so there was no other option left with him. Indeed there was injustice done with Draupadi since it was the most fundamental rule of any game that one cannot play the game after being lost. Here also the same rule is being violated by Yudhishthira and the reason is simple that his brothers allow him to do so since they wereintersted in one more and the final defeat of Yudhisthira which would give them their destiny Draupadi. And also Yudhishtira thought that it would be better that she would remain with her and if he hasn’t bet her than she would not remain with her and there would be a possibility of losing her for throughout the life and so he took the risk of betting her.
Also although after losing Draupadi , she had to face many difficulties as injustice was done over her but as there was no one to support Lord Krishna himself came and saved her. Moreover as it wasn’t in the hands of Yudhisthira he couldn’t do anything. Also Yudhisthira may have thought that it would be better to bet her as he might win and not lose. Moreover the love towards Draupadi was so much that he didn’t want to get separated from her and so he might have thought that it was better to bet her. Draupdai must have not questioned Yudhisthira as it would be disrespect of Yudhisthira and would have remain quiet. Also Yudhisthira must have some or the other mindset due to which he must have bet her beloved wife. Although in the game of dice if one loose himself its not known that we can bet others but whatever Yudhisthira had done would have been right.
Thus by this way the Pandavas had to suffer by playing the game of dice but still the question asked by Draupadi was unanswered that whether the injustice done with her was’nt wrong? But I really would say that there was no injustice done along with Draupadi because whatever Yudhishthira had done would have been right as she was her wife onlyand he might have though for some instance and than betted her. And also one should not have any questions on there elders as whatever they would do would be right for them.
