3. Radha is not one of the characters of Mahabharata
Some people believe that Radha is not a part of Mahabharata stories. But the reality is that Radha is the real energy working behind Lord Krishna to fight the Mahabharata war.

And she is not other than Radha.

This is true that Radha was lately discovered in 14th century. That does not genuinely proves that she is the miracle of someone's imagination.
