Dhritrashtra was the blind king of the Kauravas. His wife Gandhari remained blindfolded, her husband could not see the world, that world she did not wish to see.
Dhritrashtra acted against 'dharma' as understood in the pre kali yuga times. He let his 'evil' son do as he pleased, and remained a blind witness to atrocities committed by him.
He has been punished to serve eternity as a blind man, with a blind wife, in the world as we know it.
I see them every morning, by the side of the ramp on Curry Road station. Begging for alms, blind and begging for alms.

Just FYI, if ur refering to the mahabharata, Kunti's husband was Pandu....
And Dhritrashra's wife was gandhari... even though she was blindfolded for life.. the entire act call it right or wrong signifies a lot of selflessness...
yup sorry made a mistake. as for the act being right or wrong, I have made no comment.
