Week 10, Reading Diary B: The War

Krishna goes to Hastinapur to be an emissionary, and Duryodhana plans to capture him. Krishna becomes all godly and stuff and Duryodhana couldn’t capture Krishna. The war starts and Arjun cannot fight his family so Krishna tells him the Bhagavad Gita. Bhisma is killed by Amba’s reincarnated warrior form. Krishna makes a plan to kill Drona by killing an elephant that has the same name as his son, this throws Drona in distraught and they kill him. One by one they are all killed. At the end Yudishthira doesn’t want to be king but Krishna urges him to be king. The Pandavs slowly die out one by one and Krishna is killed while sleeping on the river bank by a hunter.

  1. I decided to comment on our reading diary this week for our blog assignment since I have already read your introduction. I like how this diary includes a part from the storytelling post I just read so it is a shorter version and builds onto what happens next. I would have liked to see more of your own thoughts or comments on the plot rather than the plot itself here though since we are given the plots in the reading guides but this is your blog and this probably has been working for you by now :)
