While the #IndianArmy has #Arjun in production, why isnt there a large scale commitment to replace ageing #T72M in service. These tanks are terrible for their crews and not well protected. 
While the plan is to add #T90 turrets on #Indianarmy #T72 and there are prototypes going around test areas. But #T90 is now a known quantity, the #US has a few to test on and develop anti-tank munition tech. #India needs to get away from the turret popping design to gain a.......
Qualitative edge as all #Chinese tanks and all #Pakistani tanks which are not Type 59 derivatives rely on the same carousel auto-loader design. The #Chinese ZTZ-99 and #Pakistani Al Khalids are essentially #T72 derivatives, how do I know? I looked at the road wheel identations.

So this is going to be general thread for Karna's behavior and debunking myths which have spread regarding his birth, caste and characteristics. I'm going to mainly cite BORI version, KMG version and Gita Press version of Mahabharat here.
Myth 1: Karna was an untouchable and of lower caste.
Truth: Suta is an inter caste child born of kshatriya father and brahmin mother, Adhirath was friend of Dhritrastra and younger brother of King of Anga.

Pic 2: Adhirath was a friend of Dhritrastra

Myth 2: Karna was denied teaching by Drona.
Truth: This is a big, fat lie. Contradicted by pretty much every version out there, Drona indeed taught Karna.
