Question: Whom did Duryodhana trick into joining his side before the war?
Incorrect Answer
Correct Answer Shalya was the brother of Madri, the mother of Nakula and Sahadeva. He had set off from Madra (his kingdom) to aid the Pandavas, but Duryodhana slyly arranged for Shalya's rest and comfort all along the way. When Shalya arrived in Kurukshetra, Duryodhana told him about how he had served him. Shalya was shocked and was forced to grant Duryodhana something in return for his services - and Duryodhana asked Shalya to side with him in the war.
