All the sons of Dhritarashtra died in the war, except Yuyutsu, his son through a vaishya woman - Sugdha. The battle saw the deaths of Bhishma, Karna among many. This results in the Kurukshetra War where Shri Krishna imparts Bhagwad Gita to his Pandav cousin Arjuna. He sowed the seeds of the climactic battle during the adolescence of the Kauravas(Sons of Dhritarashtra) and the Pandavas(Sons of Pandu) by poisoning the mind of Duryodhan the eldest Kaurav against the Pandavas. Shakuni felt that he was cheated and so he swore to himself that he would destroy the Kuru race. During the Coronation Ceremony Dhritrashtra's younger brother Pandu was made the king with the high interfluence of Vidura(Dhritrashtra's another younger brother).

But he later agreed when Bhishma persuaded them that Dhritrashtra would be the future king of Hastinapur. When Bhishma asked for Gandhari's hand in marriage for his blind nephew Dhritarashtra, her brother Shakuni got furious. Thus Karn made a vow to protect Duryodhan throughout his lifetime and fought on his behalf against the Pandavas in the Kurukshetra War. Karn fought against misfortune throughout his life, and was often ill-treated as he was the son of a charioteer.(Adirath, a charioteer and his wife Radha found Karna on the banks of river Ganga and raised him as their own.) Duryodhan, the mortal enemy of the Pandavas was the only person who supported Karn, even when the Pandava brothers insulted him for being a skilled archer while belonging to a lower caste. Neither Karn, nor the Pandavas knew the true identity of Karn until the end of the Kurukshetra War. After her marriage to Pandu, Kunti invoked other deities and had her sons, Yudhishtir, Bhim, Arjun, Nakul and Sahadev(from Madri). Kunti, an unwed mother, set Karn afloat on the river Ganga with a heavy heart, in order to avoid the embarrassment of having a child before marriage. Out of curiosity, she decided to test the boon and uttered the mantra calling upon the Sun god and was handed a baby, Karna. Kunti obtained a boon from sage Durvasa, where she could invoke any deity and could bear his child. Duryodhan, younger than Yudhisthir, the biggest Pandav.
