Mahabharata is the greatest epic that the mankind has ever heard and witnessed.

Mahabharata says millions of people were killed in this great ‘dharma yuddha‘ (Dharmic war).

Starting from Duryodhana, Shakuni, Dushasana, Karna, Jayadratha, etc. etc. etc. all were slayed down only because of their ‘adharma karyaa‘ (Adharmic works).

Mahabharata teaches great lesson, that whatever we sow, same we will get as the fruits.

If we do good Karma, we will get good fruits. If we do bad Karma, we will get fruits as per our bad Karmas.

In Hindi there is a saying, “Jaise karni, waise bharni“, means, the fruits we get depends on our type of works / Karmas (good or bad).

Let us know, who killed whom in Mahabharata. Let us consider during the Mahabharata war and also during other situation during the Mahabharata period.

List of ‘who killed whom in Mahabharata’ is as given below:
