In the Hindu Epic or Mythology Mahabharata, all the
characters are interwoven to each other and some of the characters are in
direct blood relationship to some or many other characters. So if we ignore
direct blood relationships like brother, sister and parents then the
relationship remains are of Uncle and Aunts of Mahabharata. If you elaborate
the relationships then you will found someone will be either Maternal or
Paternal Uncle or Aunt of another important or less important character. In
Indian language Maternal Uncles are called Mama/Mamu/Mamashree similarly
Maternal Aunts as Mousi, Paternal Uncles as Tau/Tat Shree/Bade Papa/Kaka/Chacha
etc. and Paternal Aunts as Bua. So here is a series to elaborate characters of
Mahabharata in terms of the relationship they hold to some other characters as
Mamu, Chachu, Mousi or Bua. I had specified the relationships here in three
columns. The relationships are mentioned in one column and in next column it
defines with whom that particular relationship is and basic character and/or
relationship details specified in last columns. To read this list e.g. Kansa is
Mamu of Krishna and the detail of the character or relationship between Kansa
and Krishna will be provided in last column.
I had focused more on the relationship rather than the
details of that relationship. It’s not possible to elaborate complete details
of the characters in Mahabharata in short so just restricted to the minimum necessary
details to elaborate the relationship and or the character(s). To learn more
about any specific characters you may need to go through Mahabharata in detail.
I also ignored all the characters from generations before King Shantanu as they
don’t have any role play except the blood lineage. So King Bharat, Kuru etc.
are not part of this relationship analysis.
