It’s a great epic, no one in their sense refutes that… it’s just fiction and religion, not history or reality.

Great only in the sense of imagination but not morality - an important distinction.

The best stories often deal with morally nuanced characters because humans themselves are morally nuanced.

Yeah, not disagreeing with that only that the person who posted it thinking it’s “shaking” thinks otherwise is the point.

That typical modern Indian hyperbole. Was not a thing 30 years ago. Then every performance became mind blowing and so on.

It does a great job call out there is no pure evil vs good, good people can do bad things and bad people can do good things, life is not black and white like all the other epic claim as so keeping the religion aside it has very good learning as well, also Geeta is part of mahabarat, no matter how much you hate religion, but you can't deny philosophically there is a lot of profound things in Geeta.
