Arjuna:- Who faced more misfortune than Karna or any other character in Mahabharat

It was Arjuna who faced misfortune through out all his life and fought with every problem and emerged as a hero. Here's the reason why he is the tragic hero of Mahabharata :-
1) He lost his father when he was a kid
2) His own brothers conspired against him
3) He can't complained anyone about his brother’s conspiracies because his uncle was biased towards his sons
4) His own brother underestimated him and overglorified his rival who was inferior to him
5) He was conspired again by his brothers and had to live in the forest upon the command of Vyasa
6) He had to share his wife among his brothers upon the command of his mother
7) He again got an exile as a gift for helping a poor Brahmana
8) He had to broke his celebacy rule just to stop a woman from committing suicide
9) He was staked by his own brother and became a servant of his enemies
10) He had to please Lord Shiva and acquire weapons from all the gods just for the sake of his brother
11) He had to put his life in danger by fighting Nivatkavachas who were undefeated even against all the demigods just for the sake of his brother
12) He had to become a servant at another country because of his brother’s fault
13) He had to fight his loved ones
14) He was badly abused by his own brother for whom he sacrificed almost everything……
And the list goes on.
Yudhishthira himself accepted that Arjuna faced misfortune throughout all his life.Here's the proof :-
Bibek Debroy translation of BORI CE, Ashwamedhika Parva Section-89
“Yudhishthira said “O Krishna! I have heard your agreeable words. They are indeed words thatyou should speak. O lord! They are like amrita and gladden my mind. Vijaya has indeed foughtmany battles with the lords of men, here and there and repeatedly. O Hrishikesha! I have heard that.Vijaya is extremely intelligent. However, it oppresses my mind that Partha is always separated fromhappiness. What is the mystery behind that? O Varshneya! I always think about Kunti’s son.344 O Krishna! His body possesses all the auspicious marks that are revered. What is the inauspicious mark,because of which, he always suffers misery? That son of Kunti has always borne a disproportionateshare of sorrow.”
As you can read Arjuna faced the most tragedies in his life but still he didn't complaint anything and keep following the path showed by Lord Krishna and became the greatest hero of Mahabharata.
Jai Dhananjaya !

Failure of Karna in Draupadi Syamwara

Failure of Karna in Draupadi swayamvar from direct reference :- Karna came to participate in Draupadi swayamvar :- Adi Parva Section-177 ‘Dhrishtadyumna said, “Duryodhana, Durvisaha, Durmukha, Dushpradharshana, Vivimshati, Vikarna, Saha, Duhshasana, Sama, Yuyutsu, Vatavega, Bhimavegadhara, Ugrayudha, Balaki, Kanakayu, Virochana, Sukundula, Chitrasena, Suvarcha, Kanakadhvaja, Nandaka, Bahushali, Kunduja and Vikata—these and others are the immensely powerful sons of Dhritarashtra. These warriors have come with Karna for your hand. This narrative clearly says that Kauravas has come with Karna to participate in the swayamvar Excuse of Karna fans :- The narrative says that Karna only came with Kauravas but it doesn't prove that he came along to participate in the swayamvar Disrobing :- Professor V.S Sukthankar the editor of Adi Parva of BORI CE himself accepted that Dhrishtadymna was telling the name of competitors not guests. Here's the statement of Prof. V.S Suk...

It's a big misconception that Arjuna killed Karna by cheating and by using unfair means but according to BORI CE which is the most authentic version of Vaisampayana Mahabharata, Arjuna killed Karna in a fair fight.All the references provided here are from Bibek Debroy translation of BORI CE 1 ). MISCONCEPTION :- Arjuna killed an unarmed Karna who was lifting the wheel of his chariot Here's the description of Arjuna killing Karna from actual event of Karna Parva :- KARNA PARVA Section-67 “On seeing this, Karna again invoked brahmastra against Dhananjaya. He showered down arrows and tried to extricate his chariot. Pandava countered those weapons with his own weapons. Kounteya then released another weapon, beloved of the fire god, towards Karna. It blazed fiercely. Karna pacified the fire through a varuna weapon. He covered all the directions with clouds and it was as dark as a rainy day. Pandaveya was not frightened. While Radheya looked on, the valiant one used the v...

Victory of Pradyumna over Karna in battle

Pradyumna and Karna never fought in Mahabharata but according to Harivamsha which is the Khila Parva of Mahabharata Pradyumna was far superior warrior to Karna. Here's the proof that Harivamsa is also a part of original Mahabharata :- Bibek Debroy translation of BORI CE, Section-2 ‘These are the contents of the eighteen parvas. The appendices are known as Hari Vamsha127 and Bhavishya.128 Thus the entire contents of Bharata are described in the chapter known as Parva Sangraha. Eighteen akshouhinis of soldiers came together to fight and the battle raged for eighteen days." Here Ugrasava Sauti clearly said that Harvamsa Purana is a part of the epic DEFEAT OF KARNA BY PRADYUMNA :- pramathya tarasA karNaM yatantaM raNamUrdhani | jagrAha balavAnkArShNiH prasphurantaM tatastataH || 2-84-47 the powerful son of kR^iShNa, (pradyumna), at the front of the battle, oppressed karNa who was trying hard for victory in the battlefield and caught him, who was struggling. ...
