Adharm's of Karna

Adharm's of Karna

Note:- The caste system in the 3 yugs and even in the start of the Kaliyug was totally different from what he have right now. It says that all four classes of men--brāhmaṇas, kṣatriyas, vaiśyas and śūdras--are distinguished by their quality of work. This is opposite to the artificial caste system where people are judged by their birth.

brāhmaṇa-kṣatriya-viśāṁ
śūdrāṇāṁ ca parantapa
karmāṇi pravibhaktāni
svabhāva-prabhavair guṇaiḥ
TRANSLATION
Brāhmaṇas, kṣatriyas, vaiśyas and śūdras are distinguished by their qualities of work, O chastiser of the enemy, in accordance with the modes of nature.
-- Bhagavad-gītā
18.41

Being envious of a 10-year-old Arjun when he had surpassed him in the art of Archery and yes Karna was a student of Dronacharya

Wanting to kill Bheema when he was a child by poisoning him, even Lord Krishna had admitted it.

When Drona refused to give him Brahastra because he was not ready for it then he lied to Parashurama and got the knowledge by cheating. Lord Parashurama had never taken a vow to only teach Brahmins. He had also taught Bheesma and Lord Rama.
Being disrespectful towards Homosexuals

And at that sound, the son of Radha, deprived of his senses by anger, waving his well-shaped arms, said these words,--'O Vikarna, many opposite and inconsistent conditions are noticeable in this assembly. Like fire produced from a faggot, consuming the faggot itself, this thy ire will consume thee.

Being disrespectful towards the Sons and Wifes of Slaves

Karna's beliefs about sons, wives and slaves: O excellent one, the slave, the son, and the wife are always dependent. They cannot earn wealth, for whatever they earn belongeth to their master. Thou art the wife of a slave incapable of possessing anything on his own account. Repair now to the inner apartments of king Dhritarashtra and serve the king's relatives. We direct that that is now thy proper business. And, O princess, all the sons of Dhritarashtra and not the sons of Pritha are now thy masters.

He was the one who discriminated against people on the basis of Birth

Knowing this, O learned one, hold thy tongue, or listen to something further that I will say. Those women that, intoxicated by spirits, cast off their robes and dance, those women that are not attached (to particular individuals) in the matter of intercourse and that they do as they please without owning any restrictions, I say, that being as thou art the child of one of those women, how canst thou, O Madraka, be a fit person for declaring the duties of men? Those women that live and answer calls of nature like camels and asses, being as thou art the child of one of those sinful and shameless creatures, how canst thou wish to declare the duties of men?

Karna Parva: Section 40

- (Chapter Link)

He tried to insult Shalya by getting at his birth. At his mom, at his country. Indirectly Karna was abusing his own stepmother Madri.
This quote also indicates that Karna opposed the freedom of women. That woman should not be allowed to choose who they have sex with and the freedom in which they practice it.
This quote shows that Karna hates people on the basis of their birth, caste and the deeds of their parents. If their parents did something that Karna disagrees with then Karna censures not just the parents but also mocks the child.

He discriminated against those who did not like what he did

I remember from the days of my youth that a slaughter-ground for kine and a space for storing intoxicating spirits always distinguish the entrances of the abodes of the (Vahika) kings. On some very secret mission I had to live among the Vahikas. In consequence of such residence the conduct of these people is well known to me. There is a town of the name of Sakala, a river of the name of Apaga, and a clan of the Vahikas known by the name of the Jarttikas. The practices of these people are very censurable. They drink the liquor called Gauda, and eat fried barley with it. They also eat beef with garlic. They also eat cakes of flour mixed with meat, and boiled rice that is bought from others. Of righteous practices they have none.

He hated places where the Caste system was based on Karma and not Birth

Since then I have seen diverse countries following diverse religions. Never, however, have I seen all the people of a country act unrighteously. All the races I have met will admit that to be true religion which has been declared by persons conversant with the Vedas. Travelling through various countries following various religions, I at last, O king, came among the Vahikas. There I heard that one at first becomes a brahmana and then he becomes a kshatriya. Indeed, a Vahika would, after that, become a Vaishya, and then a Shudra, and then a barber. Having become a barber, he would then again become a brahmana. Returning to the status of a brahmana, he would again become a slave. One person in a family becomes a brahmana: all the others, falling off from virtue, act as they like.

Karna Parva: Section 45

Sacred Texts Hinduism Mahabharata Index Previous Next 45 "'Karna continued, "Thou shouldst know all this, O Shalya. I shall however, again speak unto thee. Listen with close attention to what I say. Once on a time a brahmana came to our house as a guest. Observing our practices he became highly gratified and said unto us, 'I dwelt for a long time on a peak of the Himavat quite alone. Since then I have seen diverse countries following diverse religions. Never, however, have I seen all the people of a country act unrighteously. All the races I have met will admit that to be true religion which has been declared by persons conversant with the Vedas. Travelling through various countries following various religions, I at last, O king, came among the Vahikas. There I heard that one at first becomes a brahmana and then he becomes a kshatriya. Indeed, a Vahika would, after that, become a Vaishya, and then a Shudra, and then a barber. Having become a barber, he would then again become a brahmana. Returning to the status of a brahmana, he would again become a slave. One person in a family becomes a brahmana: all the others, falling off from virtue, act as they like. The Gandharas, the Madrakas, and the Vahikas of little understanding are even such. Having travelled through the whole world I heard of these practices, destructive of virtue, of these sinful irregularities amongst the Vahikas.' Thou shouldst know all this, O Shalya. I shall, however, again speak to thee about those ugly words that another said unto me regarding the Vahikas. In former days a chaste woman was abducted by robbers (hailing) from Aratta. Sinfully was she violated by them, upon which she cursed them, saying, 'Since ye have sinfully violated a helpless girl who am not without a husband, therefore, the women of your families shall all become unchaste. Ye lowest of men, never shall ye escape from the consequences of this dreadful sin.' It is for this, O Shalya, that the sisters' sons of the Arattas, and not their own sons, become their heirs. The Kauravas with the Pancalas, the Salwas, the Matsyas, the Naimishas, the Koshalas, the Kasapaundras, the Kalingas, the Magadhas, and the Cedis who are all highly blessed, know what the eternal religion is. The wicked even of these various countries know what religion is. The Vahikas, however, live without righteousness. Beginning with the Matsyas, the residents of the Kuru and the Pancala countries, the Naimishas as well and the other respectable peoples, the pious among all races are conversant with the eternal truths of religion. This cannot be said of the Madrakas and the crooked-hearted race that resides in the country of the five rivers. Knowing all these things, O king, hold thy tongue, O Shalya, like one deprived of utterance, in all matters connected with religion and virtue. Thou art the protector and king of that people, and, therefore, the partaker of sixth part of their merits and demerits. Or perhaps, thou art the partaker of a six

He was against Abortion

The Madrakas are regarded on Earth as the dirt of every nation. So the Madra woman is called the dirt of the whole female sex. They that have for their practices the drinking of spirits, the violation of the beds of their preceptors, the destruction of the embryo by procuring miscarriage, and the robbing of other people's wealth, there is no sin that they have not. Fie on the Arattas and the people of the country of the five rivers. Knowing this, be silent. Do not seek to oppose me.

Karna Parva: Section 45

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08045.htm

The above text supports my claim that Karna was against abortion. Discriminating against people who do abortions? What if these people knew that their offspring would be disabled or handicapped? And that's why they chose to insult them. What if they just didn't want their children to live like slaves or to even live at all in their society? Karna insults, censures and discriminates against others without even thinking about the whole situation. He is clearly a very narrow-minded person. What if they could not afford to feed them? You're an extremely shallow person karna. He (Karna) is just incapable of deep thinking.

He ordered for the disrobing of Devi Draupadi

O son of the Kuru race, the gods have ordained only one husband for one woman. This Draupadi, however, hath many husbands. Therefore, certain it is that she is an unchaste woman. To bring her, therefore, into this assembly attired though she be in one piece of cloth--even to uncover her is not at all an act that may cause surprise. Whatever wealth the Pandavas had--she herself and these Pandavas themselves,--have all been justly won by the son of Suvala. O Dussasana, this Vikarna speaking words of (apparent) wisdom is but a boy. Take off the robes of the Pandavas as also the attire of Draupadi. Hearing these words the Pandavas, O Bharata, took off their upper garments and throwing them down sat in that assembly. Then Dussasana, O king, forcibly seizing Draupadi's attire before the eyes of all, began to drag it off her person."

He abused Drauapadi by calling her Unchaste and then asked her to marry 5 more men!!
Karna offering 100 young women to the person who finds Arjun

To him that will discover Dhananjaya to me, I shall also give a hundred female slaves, with golden collars, belonging to the country of the Magadhas, and of very youthful age. If that does not satisfy the person that discovers Arjuna to me, I will make him a more valuable gift, that, indeed, which he himself will solicit. Sons, wives and articles of pleasure and enjoyment that I have, these all I shall give him if he desires them.

DRONA SAYING THIS TO KARNA,ABOUT ABHIMANYU - "O Mighty Bowman,O Son of Radha,If you can do this,make him disinclined from the fight,then attack him from behind,with bow in his hands he is incapable of being vanquished by gods and asuras together"

1)GEETA PRESS EDITION'S VIEW -

Quoted from Geeta Press,Drona Parva-

"अभिमन्युको युध्दसे विमुख करके #पीछे
इसके ऊपर प्रहर करो,धनुष लिये रहनेपर तो इसे सम्पूर्ण देवता और असुर भी नहीं जीत सकते"
As you all can read,geeta press has translated the Sanskrit word पश्चात् as पीछे which means 'From Behind'.
Screenshot Link - http://bit.ly/1yNbBFQ

2)SANKCHIPTA EDITION OF GEETA PRESS ALSO USES 'BEHIND (पीछे)'-

Quote-
राधानन्दन ! तुम बड़े धनुर्धर हो; यदि कर सको तो यही करो । सब प्रकारसे असहाय करके इसे रणसे भगओ और पीछे से प्रहार करो ।
Screenshot Link - http://bit.ly/1IQ7FHu

From this, we conclude that Karna was not at all a dharmic person. He was the trunk of Adharma.
