IndisGuise, well, then can you please tell me who were the mothers of Dhritarastra, Pandu and Bidur? i'm cocksure they were brothers, or at least half brothers coz if you took their DNAs, you'd surely find resemblence with a common person, Vedvyas. if bidur was born to a royal princess just like the other two, why is he always not compared with them. when talk of throne comes, it's always related to Dhritarastra and Pandu.... it'd be same if he was a real royal prince...... well, wish the royal massacre of nepal happened before Mahabharat period so that he could learn from history and as well shoot 'em and get the throne! peace out!
