Myth: Krishna made an eclipse to fool Kauravas and kill Jaydrath.

This is removed from BORI edition as an interpolation.

1. What Krishna says to Arjuna
2. Arjuna kills Jaydrath before sun is set
3 & 4. Thoughts from BORI institute editors regarding the eclipse ImageImageImageImage
Anyway some people (read Karna fanboys) are citing that Yudhisthira went to real hell and Arjuna, Bhima and Draupadi were really there (not the twins or Up-pandavas). Also Duryodhana was directly entered into heaven so he was more pious than Yudhisthira.
1. Yudhisthira heard all four remaining pandavas and up-pandavas along with Dhristdyumna and draupadi in hell.
2. Its mentioned by Indra that all kings see hell first and those who go to heaven first, see hell later.
3. A person who has done many wicked deeds enjoys heaven first ImageImageImage
1. All pandavas and Draupadi seen in hell were an act of deceit.

2. Yudhisthira's place was above all kings, it was like Harishchandra, rajarshi Mandhata, King Bhagiratha and Bharata
3. Dharma again confirms the deceit ImageImageImage

So, this will be my second thread on history and this time I will focus on if king Vikramaditya of Ujjain did actually exist or is he just a folklore as requested by one poster here.
Before starting, let's present some of my opinions which are echoed by other indian historians and some other foreign historians as well. This will come as a big shock to many I think.

1. The entire chronology of ancient India is distorted. Let me explain how.
The entire ancient india chronology hinges on the assumption that Chandragupta Maurya wass Sandokottus as described by greek historians.

This was propagated by William Jones. Below are his views.

This thread will be for thoughts on history from me. I've been asked routinely for this, so here it is. First, I'll share the history of Alexander/King Porus fight and was it really the defeat of Porus as thought popularly?
Before we begin, let's establish a few facts which are unanimous.

1. No greek records of the battle survived to this day. We only find the mention of such works from later greek historians.This includes the Indica of Megasthenes which is only known from references in later works
It is writers like Strabo, Diodorus, Plutarch and a few others who mention it. Curiously none of them have anything about Mauryas.
2.Several historians have suggested that Sandrocottos of the Greek records could have been Samudragupta of the later Gupta dynasty.

Anyway, Karna fans are talking about how Karna was considered a good guy in BORI Mahabharat. Let's see how true that is.
First mention of Karna's character, he is the branch of passion of Duryodhana. While Yudhisthira is the tree of righteousness and Pandavas are the branches. Image
1. Karna plotted to revile Krishna along with Duryodhana.
2. "Evil counsel of Karna"
3. Karna refused Krishna's counsel because of his arrogance, not because of friendship with Duryodhan

This is just from Adi Parva. ImageImageImage
1. Duryodhana and Karna tried to oppress Pandavas by various means
2. Tried again to kill Pandavas by various means
3. Tried to kill pandavas again
4. Tried to burn Draupadi alive along with other kings ImageImageImageImage
