Shakuni understood that if Pandu’s boys stayed away from Hastinapur, Duryodhana would never learn to hate them. They must be brought to Hastinapur to make Duryodhana feel insecure. In fact, they had a greater right on Hastinapur’s throne because the eldest of them, Yudhisthira, was older than Duryodhana. Duryodhana had to be reminded of it. It would be very easy for Shakuni to incite Duryodhana against them.
