Similarities between Ramayana and Mahabharata

Ramayana and Mahabharata are the two great epics of our country India and also of Hinduism . All of us know the story of these two great epics .

Ramayana and Mahabharata serials are being re -telecast on television . I thought it is the right time to write this blog article .


In short , Ramayana is the story of ideal couple Sri Ram and Seeta Maata . The bad man , Raavan had kidnapped Sita Maata as he got lured by her beauty when they were staying in forest .

After kidnapping Sita , Raavan kept her as captive in Lanka . Raavan had 2 brothers by the name Kumbhakarna and Vibhishana . Both of them had opposed the action of Raavan of kidnapping Sita . To protest , Vibhishan joined Sri Ram's party . But Kumbhakarna even though he didn't agree with Raavan's work , he stayed with Raavan , opposing him till the end .


Similarly , in Mahabharata Kouravas under the leadership of Duryodhan didn't agree to give Pandavas , their share of land . They made Pandavas to lose everything in a cheat game . Pandavas had lost their wife , Draupadi to Kouravas . Kouravas went to worst extent of snatching worn clothes of Draupadi .


But Duryodhan had two brothers namely Yuyutsu and Vikarna . Though they were kouravas , they had opposed Duryodhan of his bad action . Vikarna had opposed Duryodhan at that time itself when he decided to do Draupadi Vastrapaharan .


But later , Yuyutsu had joined Pandavas party in the Mahabharata war . But Vikarna stayed with Duryodhan till the end opposing his bad works . Bhima was in tears when Vikarna died in the war .


Similarities :

Both Kumbhakarna and Vikarna opposed the bad action of their brother . But they didn't switch the sides . Whereas Vibhishana and Yuyutsu had opposed the bad action and also joined the rival party .

All of them had taken the steps according to their conscience . They are still remembered as they have raised their voice against injustice .
