Hinduism and the Ethics of Warfare in South Asia: From Antiquity to the Present

This book traces the evolution of theories of warfare in India, focusing on the debate between Dharmayuddha (Just War) and Kutayuddha (Unjust War) within Hindu philosophy. This debate centers around four questions: What is war? What justifies it? How should it be waged? And what are its potential repercussions?
