retreated to t h e Inner C h ambers. N obody l istened to h er.Panda v as : Matr iarc h al Structure.

Kunti was t h e aut h or ity supreme for t h e Panda v as.

Whatever my mother says is Dharma to me - Yudhisthira .

ASSIGNMENT 3


As already sa id, t h e Big 4 h ad a b ig emot ional attac h ment w ith th e 5 Panda v as. Look ingfurt h er on t h e ir comm itment:

Bhi sma hi mself ga v e away t h e secret of h ow to k ill hi m to t h e Panda v as. H e prolonged t h eW ar by k illing only inconsequensual sold iers. H e d id not f igh t a warr ior l ike Shi kh and i

because of hi s personal b ias. Drona too ind irectly ga v e away hi s secret, by say ing h e was inv ulnerable as long as h e h eld

a weapon. Moreo v er h e abandoned weapons as soon as h e knew hi s son h ad d ied.

Karna d id not k ill Yud hi st hi ra and B hi ma w h en h e got t h e c h ance. H e ga v e away hi s Kav ac h and Kundala pr ior to hi s W ar. Karna fled innumerous t imes from t h e W ar w h en h e was h urt.H e d idn t sav e Du h sasana w h en B hi ma was k illing hi m.

Sh alya kept on insult ing Karna w hi le in Battle.

Pandavas:

Let s look at t h e ir comm itment:

Abhi manyu, just 16 years old. Ventured beyond enemy l ines alone. Thi s was clea rly asu icide m iss ion but h e st ill went in and took a great part of t h e Kaura v a army down w ith hi

m. It took th

e combined effort of 7 Ma

harat

his to take

him down.

Gh atotkac h , e v en in deat h took w ith hi m almost h alf t h e Kaura v a army.

Yud hi st hi ra, h e knew h e couldn t face Karna in W ar, but st ill went in to set an example.Yud hi st hi ra d idn t h es itate to tell a l ie or a tw isted trut h wh en faced w ith th e dec ision of wh et h er to st ick to hi s personal integr ity or welfare of t h e team. Kr ish na took up armstw ice and almost entered t h e W ar, in sp ite of hi s prom ise, only to be stopped byArjuna.

Management Lessons: The interests of the Individual should never exceed the Teaminterest. The best person for a Job is not the one with the best capabilities but onewith the greatest commitment.

The R oots
