The Kurus were a venerated race that dominated nearly the entire landscape of Bharatvarsha spanning over generations till the time the young blind prince Dhritarastra was denied his throne based on his blindness spurning in his heart a fire of jealousy and ambition which raged down to his sons. Duryodhana, the eldest of Kaurava, grew up in luxury only to be aghast with the incoming of his five cousins who soon turned into contenders firstly for his elders love and later the throne of Hastinapur. The dark walls of Hastinapur was replete with dark murky tales of how power overplayed politics and the extent Kurus went to get what they seeked. From ravaging the kingdom of Gandhara every person became a pawn of the other.
