Abandoned by his princess mother Kunti, Karna was brought up by a charioteer. Though ridiculed for not being a Kshatriya, he acquired warfare skills through his undaunted thirst for learning. He fought the Kurukshetra war as a brave, righteous and loyal warrior to honour his friendship with Duryodhana.
