Words have Power-Choose them carefully.

Words have Power
-Choose them carefully.


‘Son of Blind is Blind’ (Andhey Ka Beta Andha)

Just four carelessly chosen words by Draupdi resulted in the mother of all wars:

Mahabhatra.

Legend has it that when an angry Duryodhan was speedily walking out of Palace of Illusion, he accidentally fell into a water body. (In palace of illusion water body looked like dry surface and dry surface looked like water body).


A furious Duryodhan turns around and sees Draupadi laughing at him. She said sarcastically “Andhe ka Beta Andha” (son of blind is blind)” as Duryodha was son of the blind king-Dhritrashtra. Duryodhan left in a rage and vowed to take revenge.
This led to Duryodhan to try to disrobe Draupdi when he had won her in a game of dice.


These are two major incidences which eventually led to the war between Pandvas and Kuarvas-

War of Mahabharta.
