Historicity

I think it is time to create an entirely new page dedicated to the Historicity of the Mahabharata. We have Historicity of the Homeric epics. Why not such a page for something 8x larger? ChandlerMinh (talk) 15:57, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

ChandlerMinh, its required, but you can create that yourself. Why ask someone else. I wonder why no one has created it till now.--2409:4073:30A:9DC6:4C47:FBB9:8A80:E55F (talk) 12:07, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

From this very article: The first section of the Mahābhārata states that it was Ganesha who wrote down the text to Vyasa's dictation, but this is regarded by scholars as a later interpolation to the epic and the "Critical Edition" doesn't include Ganesha at all. —CM

I want to change a paragraph under the Synopsis section with the header "The Pandava and Kauravas Princes:"

"Change Dhritarashtra has a hundred sons through Gandhari, all born after the birth of Yudhishthira.  to

Dhritarashtra has a hundred sons and one daughter Dushala through Gandhari, all born after the birth of Yudhishthira. These are the Kaurava brothers, the eldest being Duryodhana, and the second Dushasana. "

7. Length

In the introduction the length of the epos is compared to other religious texts from the India and the Ancient Greece. Why not add that it is 4 times longer than the Bible (OT+NT) and x times longer than the Quran?

The Swedish Wiki page contains this fascinating tidbit. Few people can readily grasp the voluminous text by comparing it to the Iliad or other Indian texts. Verificity (talk) 20:08, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
