Explore the profound debates on justice within the Sanskrit epics through “Dharma of Justice In The Sanskrit Epics”. This compelling book reveals how characters, transcending gender, varna, and species, challenged discrimination based on birth. Discover their arguments for judging individuals by actions, not origin, using philosophy, logic, and devotion. Delve into the dharmas of relationships and leadership, and understand how Bhakta poets like Kabir and Tulsidas drew inspiration from these narratives to promote a vision of oneness. “Dharma of Justice” argues that kindness to animals is intrinsically linked to all forms of dharma, presenting a radical perspective on equality and compassion in ancient Indian literature. An essential read for scholars and enthusiasts of epic literature and philosophy.
