The Mahabharata is full of people who made vows, kept those vows and let the world be destroyed by these vows. In a world where it's easier to give up on one's own life than to break an oath, we explore what happens when people put friendships, family and duties at stake over a promise. Starting from Shantanu all the way up to Parikshit, and a dozen more kings, gurus and warriors in between, listen to the spectacular successes and breathtaking failures of an era where your promise becomes your very identity.
