Dhritarashtra is one of the most recognized names in the Mahabharata — the blind father of the Kauravas, the king sitting on the throne when everything collapsed. Most people know his role.

Fall asleep to the calm, in-depth story of Drona from the Mahabharata. Drona trained the greatest warriors in human history. He gave Arjuna the bow, shaped the Kaurava princes into an army, and built the most fearsome fighting force the ancient world had ever seen.
