There are moments in the Mahabharata that feel deeply unsettling- moments where even the divine seems silent. One such moment is Karna’s final battle. A warrior of immense strength stands alone, his chariot wheel trapped in the earth, his knowledge failing him at the most critical instant. And in that moment, Krishna- who had protected Arjuna time and again- does not step in to save him.
So the question arises, almost painfully: why didn’t Krishna save Karna?
