Nice read. Very thoughtful comparisons made. 

The most interesting aspect is ,comparison of Draupadi  with the modern day nation-state and the subjects who are stripped of their rights...

Yes i too liked that one the most. It is so apt. Really appreciate the author for this thought process 

Yes. The Author, whosoever he may be deserves a complement. If you go in to the details you will appreciate other Points too.

Krishna (conscience) in the course of Mahabharata always comes to the rescue of Draupadi (people). They are believed to have taken birth together from the same yagna that was performed by King Drupad. 

The above information is wrong ! When King Drupad performed the Yagna Draupadi comes out first and then comes Drishtadhyumna , not Krishna!

That's an information worth noting. About this I was unaware.

For those who have read the Mahabharat this is not something new because Draupadis brother has a role to play later during the war..

 

Actually The mahabharat Granth show to save your family first and don't do any harm to anyone. This is the main motive of this Granth

Be very careful what you write in forums. If you continue with such comments I am afraid to say that your account could be blocked for spamming. 

Do not open old treads but reply properly to new threads only!

Being weak or vulnerable to others views can tempt you away  from the right path more easily than you might realize. Doing your duty by fighting the negative and remaining positive in your outlook and Karma

This is the essence of Mahabharata, which is relevant all ages and times.
