रश्मिरथी

रश्मिरथी (meaning 'the Sun's charioteer') is one of the most popular epic poems by the great Hindi poet, Ramdhari Singh 'Dinkar'. It stands alongside his other notable work, Kurukshetra.

The story revolves around Karna, the firstborn son of Kunti, abandoned at birth due to his illegitimate status. Despite his humble beginnings, Karna rises to become one of the greatest warriors of his time.

In the Great Mahabharata war, Karna is obliged to fight for Duryodhana, who recognized his merits, made him a king, and adopted him as a close friend. Karna's allegiance to the Kauravas poses a significant threat to the Pandavas due to his reputed invincibility in battle.

Dinkar's portrayal of Karna captures the full spectrum of human emotions entangled in moral dilemmas, rendered in a lilting rhythm and meter. The choice of words and purity of language is exhilarating, giving the work a timeless relevance. रश्मिरथी is truly a must-read.
