Everytime you enter India you will definitely witness the greatness of Hhistory dwelling there.  There are so many mysterious histories that can still be heard around the streets of India. I personally loved the story of suryaputra karna a great warrior during mahabharatam. 

Karna's birth:

As the title says suryaputra karna he is the son of  sun god. From birth he had a shield and earrings that were attached to him . He was gifted  to Kunti princess for her good service but at that the time she was unmarried , and she left him in the ganga river . He was adopted by a charioteer and was grown as charioteer son. But he was not ready to accept his normal life rather he want show the world his talent.  He was talented from birth and a gifted archer. He never knew about his secret of birth . Kunti was married to the king of hastinapur pandu. Then kunti and pandu's second wife madri was gifted with five sons. They were identified as five elements of the earth . They adorned themselves with the jewels of  good way of life . From their childhood they were grown fighting with kauravs who followed wicked ways.  Karna as he grew befriended duryodhanan ( the eldest of kauravs).

Karna in battlefield:

The enemity between pandavs and kauravs became so intense that it ended with a huge war . The lord Krishna was in side of pandavs. Arjuna the third brother of pandavs was a skilled archer thus both karna and arjuna faced in battleground. Karna was so powerful as he was born with the shield even the gods cannot defeat him . Karna though he was in wicked side his heart was filled with good deeds . He stood for duryodhanan only because he had promised to save his life. 

All of a sudden in the battleground , one of the wheel of karna's charioteer entered into the ground and he was unable to move.  So He came down to the ground from his charioteer and tried to take it out . He didn't have any armour in his hand but lord Krishna commended arjuna to shoot his arrow  attacking a warrior without a armour is a greatest sin but to demolish the karuvas team , lord himself decided to do kill karna so he commanded arjuna to kill karna. 

Karna's best quality was his generosity.  He gives everything whoever ask for him. Finally he gave his own life to his brother arjuna.  He Practised good deeds but stood for sinful team. Due to his fate he was killed among those kauravs.  Still his heroic acts are praised around the streets of India.
