Mahabharata allegory

Bowobharata: Truth vs Justification

Truth vs Justification. I retell the journey in the Timeline as the war of Kurukshetra: a different era, the same battlefield.

This site contains Rahmat Wibowo's personal opinions and notes. Its contents are not police findings or court rulings, and do not state that anyone mentioned is guilty. Everyone has the right to the presumption of innocence and the right of reply.

This page is an allegory and my opinion, not a ruling and not a statement of fact. I use the story of the Mahabharata to retell my journey in the Timeline.

The posters on this page are AI-generated illustrations. The marks and writing inside them are part of the illustration and my opinion; the factual basis is in Evidence and the Timeline, with source links.

Abil Sudarman has the right to reply through the right of reply, and I will publish his reply as received.

Parva 1

The Dice at Hastinapura

Sengkuni's dice game at Hastinapura, where victory is decided by dishonest dice.

In this allegory, the dice game is about the degrees, university terms and image that I question: whether what is presented matches the public record.

At this stage I was only asking and writing. What it contains is my opinion and doubts, not a ruling.

Parva 2

The Peace Envoy

Krishna comes to Hastinapura as an envoy before the war, asking for a settlement without battle.

Before prolonging the debate, I chose an orderly path: a formal warning letter and an open investigation with sources that can be checked.

A somasi is a warning letter. What it contains is my allegation, not a ruling.

Parva 3

Allies and Comparisons

Both sides gather allies and weigh their strength before Kurukshetra.

I compared, traced histories, and questioned brands and titles that in my view need explaining.

These comparisons are my assessment and are open to correction.

Parva 4

The War of Narratives

The eighteen days of Kurukshetra: a long war in which words and strategy are tested.

This is the longest and messiest part of my record: research articles, posts in harsh language, and also posts with a mocking tone. I record them as they were, including what I myself think can be criticised.

The war allegory does not justify harsh language; it only depicts how long the debate lasted.

Parva 5

The Weapon of Data

Krishna did not take up arms, he directed; here the weapon is data that can be tested.

I compared five sites with PageSpeed so that the measure is a number others can repeat, not just an opinion.

Parva 6

The Second Warning

A second warning before the battle continues.

I published the second warning letter and put my articles on the InfraLoka blog so that the documentation is kept in one place.

Parva 7

Digital Kurukshetra

The battlefield moves to the timeline and the comment sections.

I replied to posts on Threads with the same sentence over and over, which can feel like a nuisance, and then launched the Kawal Abil Sudarman site so that the discussion could move to a more orderly place.

Parva 8

Dharma Finds Its Way

The end of the Mahabharata is not a celebrated victory but a lesson about dharma.

So far the result is documentation: articles translated, PageSpeed results published, and everything open to correction.

There is no ruling here. Abil Sudarman has the right to reply through the right of reply, and I will publish his reply as received.
