In Dharamvir Bharati’s seminal play *Andha Yug* (The Blind Age), the characters of Yuyutsu and Vidura serve as ethical and psychological counterpoints to the pervasive darkness and moral degradation engulfing Hastinapur after the Kurukshetra war. Set in the final moments of the Mahabharata, *Andha Yug* is not a simple retelling of the epic, but rather a symbolic exploration of moral blindness, political ruin, and ethical ambiguity, deeply influenced by the traumas of partition and post-independence disillusionment in India. Against this bleak background, the psychological motivations of Yuyutsu and Vidura offer vital insights into Bharati’s moral vision, where human agency is tested against the structures of power, tradition, and destruction. Yuyutsu and Vidura occupy unique moral positions in the play. Yuyutsu, the son of Dhritarashtra by a Vaishya woman, is neither fully a Kaurava nor entirely accepted among the Pandavas. His marginality allows him to become a witness and a critic of the moral decay within the ruling class. Psychologically, Yuyutsu is driven by a sense of ethical duty that transcends blood ties. Despite being biologically a Kaurava, he defects to the Pandava side before the war begins. This act is not _________ ______ ___ ___ ________ ___ ________ ________.
