I read a book on this. So I am posting this.
Mahabharata, (Sanskrit: “Great Epic of the Bharata Dynasty”) one of the two Sanskrit epic poems of ancient India (the other being the Ramayana). The Mahabharata is an important source of information on the development of Hinduism between 400 BCE and 200 CE and is regarded by Hindus as both a text about dharma (Hindu moral law) and a history (itihasa, literally “that’s what happened”).
Appearing in its present form about 400 CE, the Mahabharata consists of a mass of mythological and didactic material arranged around a central heroic narrative that tells of the struggle for sovereignty between two groups of cousins, the Kauravas (sons of Dhritarashtra, the descendant of Kuru) and the Pandavas (sons of Pandu). The poem is made up of almost 100,000 couplets—about seven times the length of the Iliad and the Odyssey combined—divided into 18 parvans, or sections, plus a supplement titled Harivamsha (“Genealogy of the God Hari”; i.e., of Vishnu). Although it is unlikely that any single person wrote the poem, its authorship is traditionally ascribed to the sage Vyasa, who appears in the work as the grandfather of the Kauravas and the Pandavas.
The date and even the historical occurrence of the war that is the central event of the Mahabharata are much debated.
The Mahabharata is an ancient Indian epic where the main story revolves around two branches of a family - the Pandavas and Kauravas - who, in the Kurukshetra War, battle for the throne of Hastinapura. Interwoven into this narrative are several smaller stories about people dead or living, and philosophical discourses.
The main story of the Mahabharata starts with the story of Shantanu, great-grandfather to the Pandavas and Kauravas. It ends with the death of the Pandavas and the ascension of Yudhisthira to heaven, after the death of Krishna and the annihilation of the Vrishnis.
Mahabharat is 5152 years old exact. The whole world had celebrated 5152th Geeta Jayanti celebration last year. And it was the same year of Mahabharat and the Birth of Geeta by Shri Krishna.
The Mahabharata itself ends with the death of Krishna, and the subsequent end of his dynasty, and ascent of the Pandava brothers to Heaven. ... Thus, he was required to fight on the side of evil knowing that his Pandavas would end up victorious only with his death.
