Why be good? What exactly is Dharma? How does one practise it,
and to what effect? Gurcharan Das’s superb exposition of
the dilemmas and ambiguities inherent in the
Mahabharata shows us how we can come to terms with the uncertain
ethics of the world today, a world that is uncannily similar to
that of the great epic.
‘Das’s deeply informed and learned musings on the Mahabharata and
its moral dilemmas are invariably penetrating and full of insight’
—William Dalrymple in Financial Times
