	Dharmayuddha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dharmayuddha is a Sanskrit word made up of two roots: dharma meaning righteousness, and yuddha meaning warfare.
		Dharmayuddha also signifies that the war is not fought for gain or selfish reasons.
		Beyond the Mahabharata, the principles of dharmayuddha are refered to in many other ancient Indian texts, including the Ramayana and the Dharmashastras or law texts.

		It is probably a comment on the limits of ideology when it comes to applying it to practical matters that despite the strong “religious” base of Indian thinking, a strong school of realpolitik also appeared in India side by side with it.
		Thus, ancient Indian thinkers produced two schools of war, diplomacy and interstate relations; the dharmayuddha (ethical warfare) school; and the kutayuddba (devious warfare) school.
		And in the case of the wars fought by Emperor Ashoka, while all of them were presumably won by the methods of kutayuddha, after the conquests Ashoka himself turned a complete pacifist.

		Duryodhana repeatedly kept accusing his Commander-in-chief, Drona, that he was not fighting at his best because of his love for the Pandavas.
		Irked by these accusations, Drona, who had then been fighting within the rules of a Dharmayuddha or righteous war, using fair means, started using unfair means - he started using celestial/divine weapons on ordinary soldiers.
		In desperation, a plan was hatched to inform Drona that his son Asswatthama had been killed.

		The Geeta, a part of the great Mahabharat, is a treatise on fighting a righteous war, like the one we are faced with today, to turn an escapist Arjun into a determined warrior.
		There is a world of difference between Geeta's exhortation for a Dharmayuddha, waging war for righteousness and justice, and the Quranic Jehad for expansion of Arab or Mohammedan imperialism based on the theory of Dar-ul-Islam and Dar-ul-Harb, or Momin and Kafir.
		For the past 50 years, Hindu Dharmacharyas, mesmerised by the misplaced Gandhian non-violence and Nehru's pseudo-secularism, have been playing havoc with their holy books by focusing attention to self salvation alone, ignoring performance of one's duty faithfully as a member of the society.

		Among the rules was that the war was to start every day at sunrise and the warriors were to stop fighting at sunset.
		Thus the Mahabharata war is called a Dharmayuddha or a war fought according to the rules of Dharma or a code of conduct.
		Decision of war Both parties sent calls to their relations and supporters and people came from as far away as Afganistan which had Aryan kingdoms as well as from the east and the south.

		Disciplined warfare fought by rules is called Dharmayuddha and reckless unscrupulous warfare is called Kutayuddha.
		Kutayuddha or Dharmayuddha, the objective of war, is to defeat the enemy and win.
		I have no feelings of brotherhood towards you and I still believe that Dharmayuddha is stupidity.

		This small but cleverly argued volume consists of three chapters.
		The title of the first chapter raises the question: "The Mahabharata War - A dharmayuddha?" Mehendale considers two possible definitions of the term dharmayuddha.
		It may mean "a war fought as a duty (dharma) by a ksatriya," in which case the answer to the question is clear even before the war begins: "the Kuruksetra war turns out to be a dharmayuddha for the Pandavas, but not for the Kauravas" (p.

		If Gujarat was a crime, then the Pandavas were also responsible for committing crimes when fighting the Kurukshetra and Lord Ram was a criminal because he fought against Ravana's hordes.
		The violence in Gujrat was only a skirmish of the future Dharmayuddha.
		Gujrat was a blow for the victory of Dharma.

		To serve the country by participating in war became the svadharma of this warrior community.
		Dharmayuddha is war carried on the principles of dharma, meaning here the Ksatradharma or the law of Kings and Warriors.
		In other words, it was a just and righteous war which had the approval of society.

		One has to be careful nowadays, what with the battle raging in and around Yojana Bhavan.
		I have had a ringside seat watching the dharmayuddha since I landed a fortnight ago in Mumbai.
		I have been trying to make sense of what seems a small esoteric consideration blown up into a full-scale war somewhat reminiscent of Jonathan Swift’s characters who quarrelled about ways of cracking a boiled egg.

		The previous Government had even spoken of having declared a "Dharmayuddha against corruption," but it was an empty promise, Mr.
		It has now become clear that the Government fears a powerful Lokayukta as it will attack its supporters who indulge in corruption.

		All over the globalizing neo-capitalisms in the Orient, the niceties still count — gentry education abroad and the return of the elite to rule their native domains.
		What is new is the unpredictability of violence, ignited by abstractions dealing with doom — such as neo-Christian ‘crusades’ in defence of the North Atlantic culture, jihad for neo-Islamic intolerance, dharmayuddha for a return to Sanskritic pristineness.
		These are new ideas, cannibalized from older, more liberal versions.

		A chance like this to wage a war on behalf of Dharma against the forces of Adharma comes but rarely to man. You have been blessed as a Kshatriya to take part in this Dharmayuddha.
		Just imagine how much merit you will acquire by the service to the world, which you are set to do now.
		The war that is waged to establish Santhi and Soukhya (Peace and Plenty) in the world is referred to as Dharmayuddha and this is just such a struggle, where Justice is bound to win.

		In quick succession he had to wage two fights, one for getting an increase in the workers' 'wages in the mills in Ahmedabad owing to the rise in prices and the other, for securing suspension of land revenue in the Kaira District where the crops had failed.
		We have with us authentic accounts of both these fights in Sri Shankarlal Parikh's book "Khedani Ladat" ("The Kaira Satyagraha") and in another book by Mahadevbhai himself "Ek Dharmayuddha" ('A Holy war').
		But for the first time some letters appear in this diary that shed a new light on the fights and clearly show how Bapuji's mind was then working.
