In Mahabharat's local version,
Karn asks Lord Krishn - "My mother left me the moment I was born.
Is it my fault I was born an illegitimate child?
I did not get the education from Dhronachary because I was considered not a Kshatriya. 1/n
Parshu-Raam taught me but then gave me the curse to forget everything (much before he came to know I was Son of Kunthi belong to Kshatriy) .
A cow was accidentally hit by my arrow & its owner cursed me for no fault of mine.
I was disgraced in Draupadi's Swayamvar. 2/n
Even Kunthi finally told me the truth only to save her other sons.
Whatever I received was through Duryodhan's charity. So how am I wrong in taking his side ???"

**Lord Krishn replies, "Karn, I was born in a jail.
Death was waiting for me even before my birth.
The night I was born I was separated from my birth parents. From childhood, you grew up hearing the noise of swords, chariots, horses, bow, and arrows.

I got only cow herd's shed, dung & multiple attempts on my life even b4 I cud walk.
No Army, No Education.
I could hear people saying I am reason for all their problems.
When all of u were being appreciated for ur valour by ur teachers I had not even received any education.
5/n
I joined Gurukul of Rishi Sandipani only at the age of 16!
You are married to a girl of your choice. I didn't get the girl I loved & rather ended up marrying those who wanted me or the ones I rescued from demons.
6/n
I had to move my whole community from the banks of Yamuna to far off Sea shore from Jarasandh, I was called a coward for running away.
If Duryodhan wins the war u will get a lot of credit. What do I get if Dharmaraaj wins the war?
7/n
Only the blame for the war and all related problems...
Remember one thing, Karn.
Everybody has Challenges in life to face.
LIFE IS NOT FAIR & EASY ON ANYBODY!!!
But what is Right (Dharma) is known to your Mind (conscience).
No matter how much unfairness we got.
8/n
how many times we were Disgraced, we Fall, what is important is how you REACTED at that time.
Life's unfairness does not give you license to walk the wrong path 9/n
Always remember, Life may be tough at few points, but DESTINY is not created by the SHOES we wear but by the STEPS we take...
