Name the War

Well, I had a heavy lunch at office and was little dizzy. So started to browse for some interesting article and ended up in this.

It was about a war that just took me right into the battle field as if I am watching a matinee movie :)

A war that was fought by nearly 4million soldiers with 1.5millon on one side and 2.5 on the other....but ended with just 12 warriors to spare, after 18 days.

what.......?





Yes, It is the great Kurukshetra War ! Watch it here.

Below: Arjuna and Bhishma engaged in a fierce duel, however Arjuna's heart was not in the battle as he did not like the idea of attacking his great-uncle. During the battle, Bhishma killed numerous soldiers of Arjuna's armies. This enraged Lord Krishna, who grabbed a chariot wheel to kill Bhishma. Bhishma wanted Lord Krishna to break his vow not to pick up any weapon in the battle and at once requested Krishna to kill him, as there would be nothing greater than attaining death at the hands of the supreme lord himself
