Ramayana and Mahabharata – the ethics of epics

Dr Arvind Sharma citing a couple of anecdotes enounces that Ramayana is morally rigid while Mahabharata is morally convenient. The convergence he sees in the propounding of Dharma

Should it be that one taking a vow could break it, that there is nothing such as personal and social morality? Is the entire common-life moral structure that contingent? If so, it would not be possible to carry on our everyday life, for this would destroy the mutual confidence people have regarding promise-keeping.

The answer is provided in the incident involving Arjuna and Yudhishtira
